Thrombodynamics-A new global hemostasis assay for heparin monitoring in patients under the anticoagulant treatment.

Background: Heparin therapy and prophylaxis may be accompanied by bleeding and thrombotic complications due to individual responses to treatment. Dosage control based on standard laboratory assays poorly reflects the effect of the therapy. The aim of our work was to compare the heparin sensitivity of new thrombodynamics (TD) assay with sensitivity of other standard and global coagulation tests available to date.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant Nosocomial Strain That Persisted in a Hospital in Kemerovo, Russian Federation.

is a frequent cause of health care-associated infections and has led to multiple outbreaks. Here, we report the draft genome of a multidrug-resistant strain 189 which was isolated in 2012 as a predominant clone in a neonatal hospital in Kemerovo.
