Introduction Mono-Embolex® is a so-called anticoagulant, i.e. a drug that inhibits blood coagulation (anticoagulant) and is thus used primarily for the prophylaxis and therapy of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The active ingredient of the preparation Mono-Embolex® is certoparin sodium. The active ingredient Certoparin belongs to the class of low molecular weight (=fractionated) heparins. These … Mono-Embolex
Fields of application Low molecular weight heparins such as the active ingredient certoparin in Mono-Embolex® are suitable for thrombosis prophylaxis and thrombosis therapy. Thrombosis is a disease that occurs in the blood vessels. A blood clot is formed via the coagulation cascade, which closes the blood vessel. Often thromboses are localized in the veins and … Fields of application | Mono-Embolex
Therapy monitoring In contrast to a standard heparin, the fluctuations of the drug level in the body are significantly lower with low-molecular-weight heparin. For this reason, therapy monitoring is usually not absolutely necessary. Exceptions are patients who have an increased risk of bleeding and/or patients who suffer from renal insufficiency. In such cases, the determination … Therapy monitoring | Mono-Embolex
Pregnancy and lactation There is a lot of experience regarding the use of low molecular weight heparins in pregnancy. In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, no harmful effect on the embryo could be observed when using Mono-Embolex®. This finding is based on approximately 2,800 observed pregnancies under Certoparin therapy. Mono-Embolex® does not appear to … Pregnancy and lactation | Mono-Embolex
Definition – What are chromosomes? The genetic material of a cell is stored in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and its bases (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine). In all eukaryotic cells (animals, plants, fungi) this is present in the cell nucleus in the form of chromosomes. A chromosome consists of a single, coherent DNA … Chromosomes
What functions do the chromosomes have? The chromosome, as the organizational unit of our genetic material, serves primarily to ensure an even distribution of the duplicated genetic material to the daughter cells during cell division. For this purpose, it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the mechanisms of cell division or the cell … What functions do the chromosomes have? | Chromosomes
What is the normal set of chromosomes in humans? Human cells have 22 sex-independent chromosome pairs (autosomes) and two sex chromosomes (gonosomes), so a total of 46 chromosomes make up one set of chromosomes. Autosomes are usually present in pairs. The chromosomes of a pair are similar in shape and sequence of the genes and … What is the normal set of chromosomes in humans? | Chromosomes
What is a chromosomal aberration? The structural chromosomal aberration basically corresponds to the definition of chromosomal mutation (see above). If the amount of genetic material remains the same and is only distributed differently, this is called a balanced aberration. This is often done by translocation, i.e. the transfer of a chromosome segment to another chromosome. … What is a chromosomal aberration? | Chromosomes
What is a chromosome analysis? Chromosomal analysis is a cytogenetic method used to detect numerical or structural chromosomal aberrations. Such an analysis would be used, for example, in cases of immediate suspicion of a chromosomal syndrome, i.e. malformations (dysmorphies) or mental retardation (retardation), but also in infertility, regular miscarriages (abortions) and also certain types of … What is a chromosome analysis? | Chromosomes
Blood coagulation disorders Like every system in our body, the coagulation system can also have various disorders. Since coagulation depends on many factors and substances in the tissue or blood, it is particularly important that no irregularities occur. At the same time, this makes the coagulation cascade very susceptible to errors. Depending on which factor … Blood coagulation disorders | Blood Coagulation
Influence of medication on blood coagulation Blood clotting can be influenced by various drugs. First of all, there are two large groups of drugs that are used specifically to influence coagulation. On the one hand there are anticoagulant drugs. They are also called anticoagulants. These include vitamin K antagonists (Marcumar®), aspirin and heparins. They delay … Influence of medication on blood coagulation | Blood Coagulation
Introduction Blood is responsible in our body for, among other things, the exchange and transport of oxygen, the supply of nutrients to the tissues and organs and the transfer of heat. It circulates constantly through the body. Since it is liquid, there must be a way to stop the blood flow at the site of … Blood Coagulation
