[1] [2] [3] A propaganda poster of Việt Minh during World War Two showed the Vietnamese what they should do when they meet an American.
Blood transfusion also caused the transfer of platelets that can work along with coagulating factors for blood clotting to commence. [11] Different drugs can be prescribed depending on the type of disease. Vitamins (K, P and C) are essential in case of obstruction to walls of blood vessels.
Short Time "A progressive blood disorder in which the lymphatic system actually attacks the red blood cells, mistaking them for an invading virus. It is very rare. As the disease progresses, the lining of the cells become weakened to the point where they can no longer oxygenate the body, this of course, includes the brain."
Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss ...
Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It results in hemostasis , the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
As TTP progresses, blood clots form within small blood vessels (microvasculature), and platelets (clotting cells) are consumed. As a result, bruising, and rarely bleeding can occur. The bruising often takes the form of purpura, while the most common site of bleeding, if it occurs, is from the nose or gums.
Hypovolemia is a massive decrease in blood volume, and death by excessive loss of blood is referred to as exsanguination. [2] Typically, a healthy person can endure a loss of 10–15% of the total blood volume without serious medical difficulties (by comparison, blood donation typically takes 8–10% of the donor's blood volume).
