Journal ArticleDOI
Hemostatic factors and replacement of major blood loss with plasma-poor red cell concentrates.
TL;DR: It is concluded that deficiency of fibrinogen develops earlier than any other hemostatic abnormality when plasma-poor RCCs are used for the replacement of major blood loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The absence of a functional and immunodetectable protein is probably caused by an altered conformation of the mutant polypeptide, resulting in early degradation of the defective protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of sensitive systemic inflammation markers with bronchial asthma
TL;DR: Sensitive markers of systemic inflammation, particularly SAA and fibrinogen, were positively and significantly associated with asthma prevalence and support the hypothesis that not only local, but also systemic, inflammation exist in bronchial asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of c-reactive protein, serum amyloid a and fibrinogen with prevalent coronary heart disease — baseline findings of the PAIS project
TL;DR: The hypothesis that cholesterol-lowering drugs have an anti-inflammatory effect is supported, as CRP, SAA and fibrinogen, which are markers of inflammation, were positively and significantly associated with prevalent CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutation may predispose to paradoxical embolism in subjects with patent foramen ovale.
TL;DR: The results support the possibility of paradoxical embolism behind strokes in patients with patent foramen ovale, and assesses the occurrence of several prothrombotic states and classical risk factors for venous thrombosis.
