Researchers advise that while the absolute risk remains low, women should be informed accordingly. People using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers in combination with hormonal contraceptives may…
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are specialized cellular fragments that form blood clots when we get scrapes and traumatic injuries. Conditions such as viral infections, autoimmune diseases,…
Researchers have developed a new compound, MPI 8, that offers a safer and more effective blood thinner by targeting a non-essential molecule in blood clotting….
Researchers have created a new tool using “vortex ultrasound” – a sort of ultrasonic tornado – to effectively break down blood clots in the brain….
The findings reveal a slight increase in risk after adenovirus vaccines, which should be taken into account when organizing immunization campaigns and planning future vaccine…
Combined birth control pill greatly increases the risk of blood clots in obese women. According to a paper recently published in ESC Heart Failure, a…
SuPAR Identifies Patients at High Risk of Blood Clot Formation A study from a COVID-19 cohort reveals an additional link between the immune system and…
Research uncovered an increased risk of pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) up to six months after COVID-19 infection, deep vein thrombosis (a…
The finding brings researchers closer to finding the exact cause of inflammation and clotting in severe COVID-19 patients. Scientists have discovered that “rogue” antibodies found…
Two large studies carried out independently in the UK both found a slight increase in risk of intracranial thromboses in some populations after the AstraZeneca…
After studying blood samples from 244 patients hospitalized for COVID-19, a group of researchers, including those who work at the National Institutes of Health, identified…
At 11:00 am ET today (November 1, 2021), the results will be released for research that studied Incidence of blood clot in brain after Johnson…
First evidence of inflammatory micro clots in blood of individuals suffering from Long COVID: This may be the cause of some of the lingering symptoms…
Scientists have identified how and why some COVID-19 patients can develop life-threatening clots, which could lead to targeted therapies that prevent this from happening. The…
New evidence shows that patients with Long COVID syndrome continue to have higher measures of blood clotting, which may help explain their persistent symptoms, such…
New research highlights the need for heightened awareness and early testing for patients with signs of clotting disorder following vaccination. New research has shown that…
Scientists now understand the mechanism that leads to platelet activation and clotting. A new lifesaving treatment for people suffering from vaccine-related blood clots has been…
Engineering researchers have developed a new technique for eliminating particularly tough blood clots, using engineered nanodroplets and an ultrasound “drill” to break up the clots…
