Experimental and theoretical demonstration of different effect of certain regulatory peptides (RPs) on blood coagulation is available. The problem of the role of RPs in hemostatic processes becomes particularly significant since, first, the peptides are widespread in nature both in animal and plant tissues, second, there is a relationship between the peptide structure and function and, third, both natural and synthetic peptides are used in practical medicine to correct functions of some factors of the hemostatic system. Many peptide inhibitors of the primary and plasma hemostasis potentiating anticoagulant effects in the body have been described.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm abnormality, is linked to a higher risk of stroke. Traditionally, warfarin has been the primary anticoagulation treatment for reducing the stroke risk. The new standard of treatment by direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) offers greater benefits including improved efficacy and fewer adverse effects with reduced monitoring.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the Lean Six Sigma management approach on the standardization of nurses' prefilled anticoagulant subcutaneous injection practices, with a focus on improving anticoagulation outcomes, reducing patient complications, and enhancing overall patient satisfaction.
Background: The lack of standards for prefilled anticoagulant injection has resulted in a high complication rate, decreased patient satisfaction, and diminished service quality. This study investigated the impact of the Lean Six Sigma management approach on the standardization of nurses' prefilled anticoagulant subcutaneous injection practices.

This study highlights the importance of evaluating warfarin dosing in diabetic patients, who require careful anticoagulation management. With rising rates of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, understanding the factors influencing warfarin therapy is vital for improving patient outcomes and reducing adverse events. Data was sourced from the IWPC dataset, examining characteristics such as age, gender, diabetes status, indication for warfarin, weight, and height.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AF) disproportionately affect older adults, who are at increased risk of bleeding from treatment with anticoagulant therapy. The impact of bleeding on older adults' quality of life (QoL) is poorly understood due to the lack of a validated measure of their experience. This study's purpose is to describe the first evidence-based steps in developing a new condition-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for the effect of anticoagulant-related bleeding on older adults' QoL.
