Introduction: The increasing demand for therapeutic monitoring in patients receiving antiplatelet therapy has been paralleled by the development of instruments and tests whose clinical usefulness is still under debate. We devised a laboratory approach to detect patients with antiplatelet resistance at risk to develop thrombotic events.
Methods: One hundred and eighty patients, under aspirin and clopidogrel after angioplasty and stent implantation, were studied by PFA100(®) with collagen/epinephrine (CoEPI, cutoff 165s) cartridge and by Multiplate(®) using arachidonic acid (ASPItest, pos < 862AUC), ADP (ADPtest, pos < 417AUC), and collagen (COLtest, pos < 607AUC).
Results: Only 67 of 173 patients with ASPI < 862 displayed a prolonged CoEPI and up to 65 patients had normal CoEPI despite ASPI < 300. Patients with ASPI < 300 had significantly lower COL than patients with ASPI > 300. One hundred and thirty-eight patients displaying ADP < 417 had significantly lower COL than those with ADP > 417. Association between COL and ADP remained after ASPI stratification: in patients with suboptimal (ASPI 300-892) or maximal (ASPI < 300) response to aspirin, having ADP < 417 (clopidogrel responsive) increased COL positivity, respectively, from 9.5 to 58.8% and from 47.6 to 82.7%.
Conclusion: A combination of specific tests may be useful in identifying higher-risk patients with poor compliance or drug resistance who potentially may benefit from therapy change.

Introduction: Aspirin resistance may be associated with various conditions. We measured serum thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and platelet function using the Multiplate® Analyzer with arachidonic acid (ASPI) in patients on long term aspirin therapy to identify aspirin resistance and associated factors. Materials and Methods: Chinese patients with stable coronary heart disease had samples for serum TXB2 and ASPI measurement taken before and 1 h after taking a morning dose of 80 mg aspirin.

Hybridization has frequently been observed between wild and domestic species and can substantially impact genetic diversity of both counterparts. Geese show some of the highest levels of interspecific hybridization across all bird orders, and two of the goose species in the genus have been domesticated providing an excellent opportunity for a joint study of domestication and hybridization. Until now, knowledge of the details of the goose domestication process has come from archaeological findings and historical writings supplemented with a few studies based on mitochondrial DNA.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of intravenous metamizole on platelet inhibition by aspirin in patients with coronary artery disease early after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Design: Prospective, single-blind, randomized trial.
Setting: Tertiary referal hospital.
Postoperative bleeding in coronary artery bypass patients on double antiplatelet therapy: predictive value of preoperative aggregometry.

Objectives: We tested the possible value of routine aggregometry testing for bleeding prediction following coronary artery bypass grafting in patients who received preoperative double antiplatelet therapy.
Methods: In 226 patients undergoing on-pump isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, aggregometry [adenosine diphosphate (ADP) test and ASPI test] was always prospectively performed by Multiplate® analyser immediately before surgery. We assessed the differences in postoperative bleeding according to the type of double antiplatelet therapy [acetylsalicylic acid plus clopidogrel (ASA+C), or plus ticagrelor (ASA+T)], duration of clopidogrel/ticagrelor withdrawal (0-3 days or ≥ 4 days) and results of aggregometry tests.
Aims: The objective of the present substudy was to examine whether aspirin poor/high responsiveness (APR/AHR) is associated with increased rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and serious bleeding after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
Methods: We analyzed 961 consecutive ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction patients who underwent PPCI between February 2008 and June 2011. Multiplate analyser (Dynabite, Munich, Germany) was used for the assessment of platelet reactivity.
