Background: Accumulating evidence has suggested the pathogenic roles of chronic
inflammation and neutrophils in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This study investigated the …

Factor XIII is a transglutaminase enzyme that plays a crucial role in hemostasis and wound
healing. It crosslinks fibrin strands, stabilizing clots and promoting clot resistance to …

It is unknown whether elevated gut-derived serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can affect
thrombin generation, fibrinolysis, and fibrin clot properties in atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed …

Introduction Plasma protein carbonylation that reflects oxidative stress has been
demonstrated to be associated with the prothrombotic fibrin clot phenotype. However, the …

Ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis (UA-CDT) to improve patency after
deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has not conclusively been shown to prevent post-thrombotic …

Abstract Background Elevated factor XI (FXI) has been shown to predispose to
thromboembolism. We investigated whether it is associated with left ventricular thrombus …

Objectives—Metallic elements and fibrin clot properties have been linked to stroke. We
examined metallic and nonmetallic elements, fibrin clot lysis time (CLT), and maximum …

Background Case-control, intervention and laboratory studies have demonstrated a link
between apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and clot structure and thrombosis. There …

Patients with transient ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or spontaneous
reperfusion, which occurs in approximately 20% of patients with ST-segment elevation …

Background Little is known about the role of complement activation in acute pulmonary
embolism (PE). We investigated whether complement activation is associated with the …
