Published: October 1999

The effects of graded doses of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and cataflam (potassium diclofenac) on serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, 5'Nucleotidase, methaemoglobin, total and conjaged bilirubin were investigated in wistar rats. Results showed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the levels of alanine animotransferase, aspartate amino transferase, methaemoglobin, total and conjugated bilirubin upon treatment of animals with both drugs. Aspirin significantly decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.00) the activity of alkaline phsophatase but increased the activity of 5'ucleotidase while cataflam significantly increased the activity of alkaline phosphatase (P < 0.001) and 5'nucletodase (P < 0.05). These effects were however dose dependent and the biochemical implications of these results are discussed.

Background: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been used in reconstructive microsurgery since the inception of the field. However, when compared to placebo groups, its efficacy is not confirmed. In our study, we hypothesize that the utility of ASA postoperatively in microvascular surgery is not associated with improved outcomes.

Background: Aspirin treatment is recommended as a secondary prevention strategy and could be a potential primary prevention strategy for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, aspirin resistance is notably common among diabetic patients, compromising the efficacy of aspirin treatment. Hence, our study sought to assess the clinical predictors of aspirin resistance (AR) in T2DM patients.

Aspirin (ASA) is one of the most used medications worldwide and has shown various effects on cellular processes, including stem cell differentiation. However, the effect of ASA on adipogenesis of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) remains largely unknown. Considering the potential application of ASCs in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies, this study investigates the effects of ASA on adipogenic differentiation in human ASCs.

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of antiplatelet agent use and the lack of high-quality evidence, the CAPTAIN trial aimed to investigate the safety and provide recommendations on continuing acetylsalicylic acid perioperatively in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).

Methods: The CAPTAIN trial was a multicentre, surgeon blind, randomized controlled trial conducted from April 2016 to April 2023. Patients undergoing LIHR were eligible for inclusion.

Objective: To study the associations of genetic markers influencing the residual reactivity of platelets during antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid, and clinical and laboratory parameters, including parameters of the platelet hemostasis, in patients with non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke (IS) for a deeper understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms and prediction of response to therapy and clinical outcome.

Material And Methods: The study included 296 patients (average age 64.65 [55; 76] years) undergoing treatment at the City Clinical Hospital named after.
