SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 subunit induces hypercoagulability The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), is characterized by a range of clinical presentations. The vascular complications of the condition include a range of various coagulopathies that cause bleeding and thrombocytopenia or a hypercoagulable state. A new preprint research paper posted to the medRxiv* server describes the role of a fibrinogen-related protein in inducing these clinical features of COVID-19. Cytokine dysregulation Earlier research has sho...

Circulating antiphospholipid antibodies drive endothelial cell activation in COVID-19 With the emergence of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), researchers have been closely investigating the complex interplay between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the human immune system, and COVID-19 disease severity. Signaling proteins called cytokines cascade up to dangerous levels, leading to a 'cytokine storm' that damages the body's cells (self). High levels of intravascular neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) or inflammatory cell remnants amplify thrombosis....

The novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the pathogen responsible for the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Approximately 20-55% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients are reported to have deranged hemostatic laboratory parameters, which suggests coagulopathy.

But you can't then restrict our options. we still would be at a risk of lawsuits. another thing, the art of medicine is involved here. some of these choices i have a problem with. who is actually going to decide that one test is better than another. they said on one you could have a blood clot in your leg there is a test which is a d-dimer, a simple blood test. in clinical practice that is the wrong answer. if a doctor gets out there says use this and not that. how do you know he is right? in clinical practice it is an art and changes from patient to patient and doctor to doctor. bill: you mak...
