Endotoxemia is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and economic loss to the equine
industry. 1 Colic, specifically intestinal strangulation, is the most common cause of …

The effect of epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, on
platelet preservation was evaluated. Single donor platelets (N= 10) were collected and …

Platelet-tumour cell interaction is implicated in the initiation of breast cancer-associated
thrombosis, with hormone-therapy (Tamoxifen/Anastrozole), increasing this risk. However …

Reasons for performing study: Endotoxaemia is one of the most severe and ubiquitous
disease processes in horses. Although dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is used clinically in …

BACKGROUND: In this study whether metabolic suppression can be used to preserve
platelet (PLT) function during prolonged storage was investigated. STUDY DESIGN AND …

INTRODUCTION: Sclerotherapy is associated with thromboembolic and ischemic
neurological adverse events but the effects of sclerosants on platelet function are unknown …

Objectives–To assess platelet function of a commercial dimethyl‐sulfoxide (DMSO)‐
stabilized frozen platelet concentrate (PC) using turbidimetric aggregometry. Design–In vitro …

The priority in treating the equine patient with acute diarrhoea is to stabilise the
haemodynamic aberrations secondary to the fluid and electrolyte losses. Once this has been …

Introduction We showed earlier that metabolically suppressed platelets (MSP) prepared by
incubation in glucose‐free, antimycin A medium at 37° C better sustained storage at 4° C …

Background To determine whether nitric oxide (NO) could inhibit activation of platelets
stored in a cold or frozen state, we measured platelet P-selectin expression and platelet …
