Coagulation time, activated

Baseline complete blood count (CBC) and coagulation tests (activated partial thromboplastin time and International Normalized Ratio) should be obtained, as most patients will receive antithrombotic therapy, which increases the risk for bleeding. 

Measurement of rennet coagulation time. A number of principles are used to measure the rennet coagulability of milk or the activity of rennets most measure actual coagulation, i.e. combined first and second stages, but some specifically monitor the hydrolysis of K-casein. The most commonly used methods are described below.

Treatment options are largely supportive. An assessment should first be made for airway patency and adequacy of breathing. Circulation may become affected as shock develops secondary to severe gastroenteritis. The following laboratory studies are recommended for all symptomatic patients computerized blood count, electrolytes, and coagulation studies (prothrobin time, activated partial thromboplastin time). In cases of uncertain or unknown exposure, there is an enzyme-linked immunosorption assay test available for the detection and verification of the presence of ricin... 

Safflower, and the food colorant safflower yellow, have been shown to have antiplatelet activity in animal and in vitro studies and may prolong blood coagulation time (Chen and Chen 2004 Zang et al. 2002 Zhu 1998). 

Heparin-loaded PU micro spheres Single-step phase separation Heparin release, coagulation times, complement activation Static, in vitro Rabbit blood plasma 52 % Heparin release over 6 days, aPTT, TT, and PT prolonged, no complement activation (CD62P, CD42) [89]... 

Heparinization is usually recommended when coaxial catheter assembly systems are used to prevent fibrin clot formation. Initial prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and activation coagulation time is recommended to use as a baseline to calculate the dose of the protamine sulfate dosage when heparinization is to be reversed. Complete heparinization of the patient can be achieved with a bolus dose (50 lU/Kg) and a maintenance infusion (500 UI/Kg in 24 hours) that is initiated once the arterial access is obtained.

Administered at 1.25% and 2.5% of the diet of female rats subjected to carcinogen-induced mammary carcinogenesis, asafetida increased activity levels of endogenous antioxidants (glu-tathione-5-transferase, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase), inhibited lipid peroxidation, delayed tumor appearance, and reduced the size of tumors. The essential oil showed a relaxant effect on isolated rat ileum. Asafetida has also shown hypotensive activities in animals. It has also been demonstrated to increase blood coagulation time. ... 

Decoction had antimicrobial activities in vitro and antiemetic effects in pigeons. Grade powder fed to mice and rabbits markedly shortened bleeding and coagulation times effects were only partially due to tannic substances present when applied to experimental burns in rabbits and dogs, it reduced inflammation and promoted healing, with effects superior to those of tannins.
