The Homozygous Type II Antithrombin Deficient Pregnant Woman Monitored by Thrombin Generation Assay.

Background: We present the case study of a 28-year-old pregnant woman with antithrombin deficiency who was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).

Methods: Due to severe homozygous type II antithrombin heparin binding site (HBS) deficiency, the thrombin generation (TG) was monitored in this woman via the Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA). We used Siemens diagnostic kits Berichrom® Antithrombin III (IIa) and INNOVANCE® Antithrombin (Xa) to determine antithrombin activity.

Thrombin Decrease in Thrombin Generation after Heparin Administration in a Homozygous Type II Heparin Binding Site Antithrombin-Deficient Pregnant Woman.

Objectives: There is a major problem in providing prophylactic treatment in antithrombin (AT)-deficient pregnant women with a homozygous mutation of the heparin binding site (HBS) and AT level of 17 %. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of heparin by monitoring changes in thrombin generation (TG) in vitro so that pregnant women are not exposed to stress in vivo.

Methods: We used the chromogenic method for determination of factor Xa (FXa) inhibition for enoxaparine, nadroparine, dalteparine, fondaparinux and unfractionated heparin (UFH) and the Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA).

Thrombin Generation Decrease After LMWH Administration in an Antithrombin-Deficient Pregnant Woman With a Homozygous HBS II Mutation.

The cases of antithrombin (AT)-deficient pregnant women with a homozygous HBS II mutation are relatively rare and are accompanied by an increased thrombophilic risk, which is manifested by increased thrombin generation (TG). It is very difficult to ensure their prophylactic treatment during pregnancy. We aimed to determine the utility of the thrombin generation assay (TGA) and anti-factor Xa (anti-FXa) test to monitor the effects of a prophylactic dose of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in a 28-year-old woman with homozygous AT deficiency caused by mutation c.

Agent-based models of human response to natural hazards: systematic review of tsunami evacuation.

Unlabelled: This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of tsunami evacuation models. The review covers scientific studies from the last decade (2012-2021) and is explicitly focused on models using an agent-based approach. The PRISMA methodology was used to analyze 171 selected papers, resulting in over 53 studies included in the detailed full-text analysis.
