Platelet

(5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter and paracrine signalling molecule in all bilateral animals, where it mediates gut movements and the animal's perceptions of resource availability. 5-HT was found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), blood platelets, and the central nervous system (CNS) [1] [2]. Approximately 90% of 5-HT in the human body is synthesized and released in the GI tract, and the remainder is synthesized in serotonergic neurons of the CNS. 5-HT is synthesized from…

require a minute amount of drugs to test.7,8 Tests are performed on individuals suspected to have hemophila to determine whether blood is clotting properly. These tests include a complete blood count which determines the amount of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells found in the blood. Although a person with hemophilia shows a normal complete blood count, excessive bleeding can cause the red blood cell count to be very low. Other tests include the prothrombin time test and the…

is used for the protection of organs, holds the structure of the body, and assists in movement. The bones also store most of the calcium in the human body. It holds red bone marrow in the spongy bone where red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which is called hemopoiesis (Tortora, GJ., & Derrickson B., 2000, pg. 170). In every part of the body, infection and breaks occur, including this one. Osteochondritis dissecans is the loss of blood supply in part of a bone under the surface…

used commonly. The classic clinical thermometers, calibrated for temperatures between 34.4 and 42.2 ° C, probably will not be able to detect hypothermia. Generally, in hypothermia, laboratory data are not specific. Laboratory tests must include platelet count, blood count, creatinine, coagulation studies, blood sugar test, amylase and the liver function tests. The continuous electrocardiographic monitoring, X-ray of the chest and abdomen, and the constant recording and monitoring of the body’s…

Define the pathological condition, disease or syndrome. Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone. This can be from externally introduced bacteria fungi, parasites and viruses, or from a pathogen introduced via the blood stream from an infection of another body system (McCance and Huether, 2014). The pathogen invades the bone and elicits the inflammatory response (McCance, and Huether, 2014). For bone tissue, this includes engorged vessels, active leukocytes, thrombosis of small blood…

1. Damage control principles in critical care The role of Intensive care unit in the poly-trauma context encompasses patient management and organ support; in other words, on-going physiology resuscitation. The goals of critical care are recognition and treatment of complications which ensue as a result of primary injuries (1st hit) as well as prevention, identification and management of iatrogenic injury (2nd hit). Permissive hypotension, hemostatic resuscitation and damage control surgery…

Neisseria meningitidis is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children and young adults. Extrameningeal manifestations of Neisseria meningitidis infection are uncommon in normal children and are a consequence of invasion of the bacterium into the blood stream. We describe a case of IMD with meningoencephalitis, septic arthritis, myositis and pleural effusion who developed secondary fever and prolonged hospitalization. Case report: A 10-year-old boy previously healthy was referred from…

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to develop into some or many different cell types in the body, depending on whether they are multipotent or pluripotent. Serving as a sort of repair system, they can theoretically divide without limit to restore other cells for as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each "daughter" cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell…

common symptoms of type 1 diabetes. (Brown & Edward, 2012) DVT: Thrombosis is the homeostatic mechanism by which the blood coagulates or clots, an important process of hemostasis after the creation of the wound. Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets are the sites of thrombus formation is the valve cusp of veins, venous stasis that allows the accumulation of blood products. The patient suffering from the symptoms of DVT or leg swelling, pain in extremity, skin redness and temperature…

properties that indicate the ability of the material to come in contact with the blood without resulting in adverse reactions. In terms of regulatory requirements, the material is tested in relation to 5 main test categories: Thrombus Coagulation Platelets Haematology Immunology Problems with haemocompatibility arise due to the foreign body response of the body. Endothelium cells line the walls of blood vessels. When blood comes in contact with a material that is not endothelial it will…
