With the emergence of new anticoagulants, clinicians need a thorough understanding of coagulation assays. Various laboratory assays exist to measure the effectiveness of anticoagulants. Coagulation assays are the primary method for measuring the effectiveness of anticoagulants; therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the various assays is critical to interpret the results appropriately. Coagulation test results can be affected by multiple factors including diseases, drugs, and genetic variations. This article reviews the indications, limitations, and interpretation of coagulation assays.

Extracellular vesicles in ageing cold-stored whole blood may not compensate for the decreasing haemostatic function in vitro.
Transfus Med
January 2025
Research and Development, Finnish Red Cross Blood Service, Vantaa, Finland.
Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have procoagulative properties. As EVs are known to accumulate in stored blood products, we compared the EV content and coagulation capacity of leukoreduced cold-stored whole blood (CSWB) with current prehospital and in-hospital component therapies to understand the role of EVs in the haemostatic capacity of ageing CSWB.
Materials And Methods: Blood was obtained from 12 O RhD-positive male donors.
Investigating Elevated E-Selectin and P-Selectin Levels in Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Patients: The Stepping Stone to a Future Clinical Approach.

Background: Studies regarding hypercoagulation in Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) patients have produced conflicting results. With a presumption that the early coagulation phase may affect the occurrence of NAION, this study aims to investigate the early coagulation markers, E-selectin and P-selectin, to determine whether these biomolecular changes play a significant role in NAION, thus potentially leading to a better clinical approach.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving two groups of NAION subjects, a hypercoagulation group and a non-hypercoagulation group, was conducted in the Neuro-Ophthalmology Division, Department of Ophthalmology, FKUI-RSCM Kirana from October 2020 to April 2022.
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia worldwide. Although catheter ablation is the most efficacious therapy, relapses occur frequently (30%) in the first year after ablation. Novel biomarkers of recurrence are needed for a better prediction of recurrence and management of AF.

Introduction: Pressure Injury (PI) is a complex disease process which is influenced by multiple factors, among which ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is closely related to the progression of PI. But its biomarkers are still unclearly. Understanding its physiological mechanisms and related molecular biomarkers is a key to developing effective prevention and therapeutic strategies.

Background: Arginine infusion stimulates copeptin secretion, a surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin (AVP), thereby serving as a diagnostic test in the differential diagnosis of suspected AVP deficiency (AVP-D). Yet, the precise mechanism underlying the stimulatory effect of arginine on the vasopressinergic system remains elusive. Arginine plays a significant role in the urea cycle and increases the production of urea.
