Abstract Introduction Soluble P selectin (sPsel), a member of the selectin family of cell
adhesion receptors, has been proposed as a key molecule in hemostasis and thrombosis …

Background: The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin has an important role in the
pathophysiology of thrombosis. The effect on venous thromboembolism (VTE) of increased …

Venous thromboembolism is a very common and costly health problem worldwide.
Anticoagulant treatment for VTE is imperfect: all have the potential for significant bleeding …

Objective: The combination of D-dimer and Wells score can exclude, but not confirm, the
diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Since thrombosis and inflammation are …

Background: P‐selectin is a cell adhesion molecule that is involved in atherogenesis, and
soluble concentrations of this biomarker reflect cardiovascular risk. However, the clinical …

The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin mediates the interaction of activated platelets or
endothelial cells with leukocytes. In arterial and venous thromboembolism (VTE) increased …

Activated platelets are key components in many arterial disorders. P-selectin is an activation-
dependent platelet receptor, which is also identified in endothelial cells. Together with E-and …

P-selectin is a 140 kD protein found in the α-granules of platelets and the Weibel-Palade
bodies of endothelial cells. On cell activation it is expressed on the cell surface and also …

Cancer patients are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Laboratory parameters
with a predictive value for VTE could help stratify patients into high-or low-risk groups. The …

Background The diagnostic algorithm for venous thromboembolism (VTE) currently involves
a composite of pre-test probability, D-dimer and imaging. Other laboratory tests, however …
