  1. 1. Platelet function after storage in leukocyte : reduced whole blood and preheating to 37°C

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Alma Bolmsvik; Sofia Bjelkvik; [2023]
    Keywords : Blood platelets; blood transfusion; flow cytometry; blood cell count; platelet membrane glycoproteins; platelet activation.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Whole blood transfusions are indicated for the resuscitation of patients with hemorrhagic trauma. In Sweden, whole blood is stored for 14 days at 4°C. If possible, refrigerated blood is rewarmed to 37°C before transfusion to avoid hypothermia. Platelets contribute to hemostasis and can be activated with several pathways. READ MORE

  3. 2. Inadequate antiplatelet pre-treatment in patients undergoing acute thoracic surgery. Risk for complications and cost.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Nordmark Carolina; [2018]
    Keywords : Dual antiplatelet therapy; ST-elevation myocardial infarction; bleeding complications; acute thoracic surgery;

    Abstract : Introduction Prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidelines recommend that patients with ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of P2Y12 inhibition and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). However, in rare occasions, patients admitted with STEMI as preliminary diagnosis require acute thoracic surgery and oral P2Y12 inhibitors increases the bleeding risk over several hours. READ MORE

  4. 3. Autologous conditioned serum och platelet rich plasma : innehåll och användning vid osteoartrit och senskador hos häst

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Johan Lundgren; [2018]
    Keywords : autologt konditionerat serum; ACS; ; IRAP; Platelet Rich Plasma; PRP;

    Abstract : Rörelsestörningar hos hästar är ett problem med många orsaker, exempelvis trauma eller överbelastning. Som behandlande veterinär finns det flera behandlingsmetoder att välja mellan. Autologa behandlingsmetoder växer sig starkare och används idag av många, trots att behandlingarna inte är helt utredda till innehåll och funktion. READ MORE

  5. 4. Do Serglycin Related Alterations of Thrombocytes and Myeloid Cells Affect Tumor Progression and Behavior

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Kjersti Marie Hjelle; [2015]

    Abstract : Investigation of tumor growth has traditionally been studied focusing only on the cancer cells. However, tumors consist of a complex tissue organization where heterotypic signaling occurs between different cell types. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of Correlation between Platelet Function in Platelet apheresis Donors and Function in Thrombapharesis Concentrates Measured with Impedance Aggregometry (Multiplate® Analyzer)

    University essay from

    Author : Linnea Jakobsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Adenosine diphosphate; thrombin receptor activating peptide; collagen; aggregability; platelet concentration;

    Abstract : Transfusion of platelet concentrates (PC) can be necessary for patients to maintain coagulability. It is vital that the platelets maintain viability and function during processing and storage to obtain enhanced coagulability in the transfused patient. Today, no test is used to verify platelet function in either donors or in PC’s. READ MORE
