It is a clinical case of successful correction of hemostasis disorder in hemorrhagic shock. This case demonstrates the need to perform advanced tests that assess hemostatic system in patients with ongoing bleeding. Using of thromboelastography helped us to make a comprehensive assessment of hemostatic system that allowed to detect the point of application of drugs and substitution therapy. Coagulation disorder was treated by intravenous injection of Ca2+. In this case the cause of hypocalcemia was combination offactors such as electrolytes losing during massive bleeding and progressing metabolic acidosis. Therefore, monitoring the level of ionized calcium is especially important in patients undergoing massive blood loss and receiving large doses of donor blood components.

Marine collagen is gaining more attraction than terrestrial collagen because it is free of zoonotic disease and religious constrain. In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare the physicochemical properties and functional characteristics of acid-soluble collagen (ASC-MF) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC-MF) extracted from scales of Megalonibea fusca. ASC-MF and PSC-MF were evaluated in terms of yield, collagen type, amino acid composition, thermal stability, microstructure, cytotoxicity, and other physicochemical parameters.

The natural history of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has changed after the introduction of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs). Screening programs have been ongoing to reach the World Health Organisation's goal of HCV elimination by 2030, and most infected people are eligible for treatment. Given the increased cardiovascular risk in people with HCV infection and the metabolic pathways of DAAs, it is not uncommon to face the issue of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, endothelial dysfunction, and complement dysregulation. Placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), necessary in maternal-fetal communication, might contribute to PE pathogenesis. Moreover, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a pathogenic role in other complement-mediated pathologies, and their contribution in PE remains unexplored.

The thyroid gland is one of the major regulator organs of hemostasis in the human body, controlling the functioning of numerous systems. Thyroid hormones exert a modulating effect on the cardiovascular system in particular, ensuring optimal functioning within the normal range. Triiodothyronine (T3), as an active form of thyroid hormone, is mainly responsible for this effect via both genomic and nongenomic mechanisms.

Spontaneous liver bleeding is a rare but life-threatening complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The optimal management strategy for this condition remains a topic of ongoing debate. We present the case of a 74-year-old man with cirrhosis and hemorrhagic shock resulting from the spontaneous rupture of HCC.
