Specific Effects of Fibrinogen and the γA and γ′-Chain Fibrinogen Variants on Angiogenesis and Wound Healing Open
In a newly formed wound, the natural fibrin network provides the first temporary matrix for tissue repair. Topical application of fibrin to a new wound may improve wound healing. A matrix of the common natural γ' fibrin variant may further…

The role of fibrinogen variants in cardiovascular diseases and wound healing Open
Maintaining the integrity and patency of the vascular system is essential for the viability\nof humans. When vascular injury has occurred, fast formation of a thrombus at the\nsite of injury is essential to seal the wound, resulting in hae…

γ’/total fibrinogen ratio is associated with short-term outcome in ischaemic stroke Open
Summary Fibrinogen γ’ (γ’) is a natural isoform of fibrinogen, and alters the rate of formation and the properties of clots. It could therefore affect outcome after ischaemic stroke. The prognostic significance of γ’ fibrinogen levels is, …

Elevated fibrinogen γ′ ratio is associated with cardiovascular diseases and acute phase reaction but not with clinical outcome Open
To the editor:
Recently, Nowak-Gottl et al reported on the association between the fibrinogen γ′/total fibrinogen ratio (γ′ ratio) and thromboembolism in children.[1][1] We and others previously reported on this association in adults.[2][…

Fibrinogen γ′ in Ischemic Stroke Open
Background and Purpose— To determine the contribution of fibrinogen γ′ levels and FGG haplotypes to ischemic stroke. Methods— Associations between fibrinogen γ′ levels, fibrinogen γ′/total fibrinogen ratio, and FGG haplotypes with the risk…

Relatively Alcohol-Resistant Mycobacteria Are Emerging Pathogens in Patients Receiving Acupuncture Treatment Open
Acupuncture has been gaining popularity as a form of alternative medicine. In the past, only blood-borne viruses and anecdotal reports of bacterial infections have been associated with acupuncture. We report on four patients with mycobacte…

Resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics of gram-negative bacilli isolated in Canadian hospitals. Open
A survey was made of the frequency of resistance to amikacin, gentamicin and tobramycin among aerobic gram-negative bacilli isolated over a 4-week period in 1979 at six large, geographically separated Canadian hospitals. In the entire seri…
