Thrombotic disease is a major cause of death and disablement in Western society. The most common causes is an inherited defect in one of the many genes encoding a protein which is involved in clotting, It's regulation or the process of clot dissolution, Fibrinolysis. Venous Thrombosis: from genes to clinical medicine, presents our current knowledge of potentially prothrombotic protein at modalities, together with the clear and concise views of the roles these proteins play in haemostasis, and the use of molecular techniques in the analysis and diagnosis of inherited defects. Each chapter describes a specific protein deficiency, with information on protein structure, function and biochemistry...
Designed for everyday use, primarily in the hospital setting, Thrombosis in Clinical Practice is a practical clinical reference to the management of thrombosis. The text provides a concise guide to the latest drugs and their applications and reviews appropriate therapeutic strategies for each of the most commonly-encountered clinical scenarios. Numerous flowcharts and checklists support and enhance the text, assisting the reader with case assessment and formulation of treatment plans. Copiously illustrated with tables, graphs, and charts, the book explains fundamental principles of etiology and mechanisms of drug action and includes the latest information on new agents and on-going trials.

Comprehensive in scope and thoroughly up to date, Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology, 15th Edition, combines the biology and pathophysiology of hematology as well as the diagnosis and treatment of commonly encountered hematological disorders. Editor-in-chief Dr. Robert T. Means, Jr., along with a team of expert section editors and contributing authors, provide authoritative, in-depth information on the biology and pathophysiology of lymphomas, leukemias, platelet destruction, and other hematological disorders as well as the procedures for diagnosing and treating them. Packed with more than 1,500 tables and figures throughout, this trusted text is an indispensable reference for hematologists, oncologists, residents, nurse practitioners, and pathologists.
This book contains the proceedings of a symposium on the use of synthetic substrates in clinical blood coagulation assays, which was held at the University of Leuven, Belgium, on March 1st, 1980. This meeting was organized in order to exchange and discuss recent develop ments and applications in this field. Advantages and disadvantages of synthetic substrates are discussed, while expert workers report on their practical experience with the use of chromogenic substrates in routine assays for blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. The indications when to perform antithrombin III, a2-antiplasmin, factor X and factor II determinations are discussed. For each of the determinations a critical evaluat...
