From Patients to Platelets and Back Again: Pharmacological Approaches to Glycoprotein VI, a Thrilling Antithrombotic Target with Minor Bleeding Risks

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Augusto Martins Lima

Despite significant advances in the treatment of thrombogenic diseases, antiplatelet therapies are still associated with a high bleeding risk. Consequently, potential benefits of preventing thromboembolic events by pharmacological agents need to be balance ...

Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XIa for safer anticoagulation

Vanessa Carle

Hemostasis is a complex physiological process responsible for the prevention of blood loss caused by vascular injury. The dysregulation of this delicate mechanism can lead to thromboembolic diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Anticoagulants are ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

Determination of a shear rate threshold for thrombus formation in intracranial aneurysms

Orestis Pileas Malaspinas, Ricardo Alberto Corredor Jerez, Bastien Chopard

Particular intra-aneurysmal blood flow conditions, created naturally by the growth of an aneurysm or induced artificially by implantation of a flow diverter stent (FDS), can potentiate intra-aneurysmal thrombosis. The aim of this study was to identify hemo ...

Living-Engineered Valves for Transcatheter Venous Valve Repair

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) represents a major global health problem with increasing prevalence and morbidity. CVI is due to an incompetence of the venous valves, which causes venous reflux and distal venous hypertension. Several studies ...

Numerical Fluid-Structure Interaction Model for the Connection of Outflow Cannula of LVAD to the Aorta

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Jean Bonnemain, Ludwig Von Segesser

Purpose: Connecting outflow cannula of LVAD to the aorta is an underexplored issue but may have considerable impact. In fact the hemodynamic modifications due to implantation in this region can cause thromboembolic events. It is therefore important to unde ...

Melanocyte-like cells in the heart and pulmonary veins contribute to atrial arrhythmia triggers

Friedrich Beermann, Fang Liu

Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmia. It is often initiated by ectopic beats arising from the pulmonary veins and atrium, but the source and mechanism of these beats remains unclear. The melanin synthesis enzyme dopachrome tau ...

In situ growth of Ca-rich rims around allende dark inclusions

Anders Meibom

Four heavily altered dark inclusions (4301-2, IV-1, 3b-1, IVa) in the Allende meteorite are composed exclusively of secondary minerals, including fayalitic olivine (Fa(40-45)), salitic pyroxenes (Fs(10-30)Wo(50)), nepheline, sodalite, and Fe-Ni sulfides. C ...

Separation of the arterial wall from blood contact using hydrogel barriers reduces intimal thickening after balloon injury in the rat: the roles of medial and luminal factors in arterial healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The objective of this study was to clarify the relative roles of medial versus luminal factors in the induction of thickening of the arterial intima after balloon angioplasty injury. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and thrombin, both associated with ...
