Pregnancy is associated with substantial changes in the haemostatic system and a six-fold
higher incidence of venous thromboembolism. Conventional global tests, such as …

Introduction The objective was to investigate the association between chorionicity‐specific
intertwin birthweight discordance and adverse outcomes including long‐term follow up at 6, …

Background Healthy neonates exhibit no bleeding tendencies, but exhibit longer partial
thromboplastin times than adults. Lower clotting factor levels may be balanced by lower inhibitor …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the association between cytokine levels in twin pregnancies and
risk of spontaneous preterm delivery, including the effect of progesterone treatment. …

Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality. The causes for
spontaneous PTB are multifactorial and often remain unknown. In this study, we tested the …

The authors suggest that functional testing for activated protein C resistance is cheaper and
more clinically relevant than genetic testing to detect a factor V Leiden mutation in identifying …

Background Microangiopathic hemolytic anemias and thrombocytopenias in pregnant or
postpartum women constitute an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in the …

Activated protein C (APC) resistance (Dahlbäck et al, 1993) is a common risk factor for venous
thromboembolism (Bucciarelli et al, 1999). This phenotype is highly associated with the …

Background: The neonatal hemostatic system exhibits a fragile balance featuring lower levels
of clotting factors as well as inhibitors. Neonatal platelets show in-vitro hypoaggregability, …

Nitric oxide donors (NO-donors) have been shown to have therapeutic potential (eg,
ischemia/reperfusion injury). However, due to their release rate/antiplatelet properties, they may …
