BACKGROUND
There are few data on the relationship of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) to pathologically proven brain infarcts. We tested the hypothesis that aPLs are associated with a higher odds of brain infarcts among older, community-dwelling individuals who came to autopsy.
RESULTS
Specimens
Annexin A5 is a phospholipid binding protein with high affinity for phosphatidyl-serine, which is externalized by cells undergoing programmed cell death. An increased programmed cell death rate has been reported in the heart after myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study was to correctly
In the plasma of patients with acute myocardial infarction the values for phosphatidyl ethanolamine are on the average 50% to 100% higher than in patients with chronic coronary heart disease and up to 400% higher than in normal individuals. Those for phosphatidyl serine are about 50% higher than in
A 51 year old man with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia presented with a malabsorptive syndrome related to extensive small bowel lymphangiectasia caused by immunoglobulin accumulation. The patient's plasma had strong lupus anticoagulant activity and the IgM lambda paraprotein displayed specificity
Annexin A5 (AnxA5) is a protein with high affinity for phosphatidyl serine, a phospholipid exposed on the cell surface during apoptosis. This phenomenon has been used for determination of cell death after myocardial infarction. To evaluate the potential of (99m)Tc-AnxA5 for in vivo scintigraphy of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the presence of membrane "flip flop" in ischaemic human myocardium, we assessed depositions of apolipoprotein H (apoH; beta 2-glycoprotein 1) in ischaemic myocardium. Serum protein apoH can bind to negatively charged phospholipids and can also inhibit blood coagulation in
Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) have an 11% risk of stroke by the age of 18. Chronic transfusion applied in patients detected to be at risk by transcranial Doppler allows a significant reduction of stroke risk. However, chronic transfusion exposes to several adverse events, including
