Determining the first (N1) and second (N2) normal stress difference is a crucial part of understanding a polymer’s response. Measuring them, however, remains a challenge in experimental rheology, ...

Patients with essential thrombocythemia faced an average delay of 26.5 months between their first high platelet count and diagnosis. Patients experienced a significant delay in receiving an essential ...

Children and adults with blood cancers may have low platelet counts because of their underlying cancer. Blood cancers may be treated with chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, and these ...

Abstract: Platelet count is a key indicator of general health and plays a crucial function in clinical diagnosis. Considering that abnormal platelet counts might be an indicator of more serious health ...

Platelets, or cell fragments in blood that help stop or prevent bleeding, tend to cluster in lung blood vessels of people with decompensated pulmonary hypertension (PH), a lung disease characterized ...

Investigators have identified a platelet count threshold that appears prognostic in patients with ESKD hospitalized in the ICU. Platelet counts above and below a threshold of 222 × 10 9 /L are ...
