Introduction: Physiological coagulation is considered to activate coagulation factor IX (FIX) by a small amount of tissue factor (TF) and activated coagulation factor VII (FVIIa) with the presence of platelets. A Clot waveform analysis (CWA) may be useful for evaluating physiological coagulation.

Material And Methods: A CWA using a small amount of TF (CWA/sTF) was performed in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-poor plasma (PPP), several phospholipids (PLs) and patients with lupus anticoagulant (LA), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or inhibitor for FVIII.

Results: The CWA/sTF without PLs showed a shorter peak time and higher peak height in PRP than in PPP. The effect of PRP on the CWA/sTF depended on the platelet count, and PLs showed a similar effect on the CWA/sTF results in PPP. The peak time of the CWA/sTF in PRP was prolonged in patient with ITP. The CWA/sTF in PRP showed a prolonged peak time and decreased peak height of the second derivative in patient with LA. Both a shortened peak time and elevated peak height were observed in the CWA/sTF of patient with inhibitor after treatment with activated recombinant human FVII.

Conclusion: A CWA can be conducted using a small amount of TF and platelets or PL without contact activation and may be able to detect not only hemostatic abnormalities but also changes in platelet counts.

Introduction: Determining the need, optimal timing, amount, and type of fluid for volume expansion in hypovolemic infants is challenging, due to their small intravascular volumes and robust compensatory reserve. To assess markers of fluid responsiveness in hypovolemic infants, we studied those undergoing cranial vault reconstructive surgery-a procedure associated with significant blood loss. We aimed to determine the ability of the Compensatory Reserve Index (CRI) monitor, which provides a continuous, individual-specific, beat-to-beat estimate of central volume status, to distinguish fluid responders from non-responders.

Investigating the effects of drought stress and subsequent recovery on the structure and function of chloroplasts is essential to understanding how plants adapt to environmental stressors. We investigated Ctenanthe setosa (Roscoe) Eichler, an ornamental plant that can tolerate prolonged drought periods (40 and 49 days of water withdrawal). Conventional biochemical, biophysical, physiological and (ultra)structural methods combined for the first time in a higher plant with in vivo small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) were used to characterize the alterations induced by drought stress and subsequent recovery.

Knee arthritis is a common degenerative joint disease, usually with joint swelling, chronic pain, and dysfunction as the main clinical manifestations. At present, the conservative treatment for knee arthritis is mostly using anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, but the effect is mostly temporary, and can not prevent its progress and surgery is usually the last treatment method. Total knee arthroplasty, also known as TKA, is one of the most effective treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee that has progressed to the end stage.

Facial beauty prediction (FBP) is a leading area of research in artificial intelligence. Currently, there is a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data in the FBP database. The features extracted by the model based on supervised training are limited, resulting in low prediction accuracy.
