To evaluate the effect of cryoprecipitate (CRYO) transfusion in women referred for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). This retrospective cohort study included patients with primary PPH referred to Gifu University Hospital between April 2013 and March 2020. We analyzed the effect of CRYO transfusion on fluid balance 24 h after the initial examination using a multivariable linear regression model adjusted for several confounding variables.

Cancer cells can survive and grow via angiogenesis. An alternative but controversial theory is cancer cells may grow via vasculogenic mimicry (VM), in which the cancer cells themselves construct vessel-like channels that are considered a leading cause of drug resistance. The dynamic functions of the glycocalyx (GCX), a meshwork composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that surrounds cell membranes, have been observed in endothelial cells within tumors.
