Abstract:
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is a well defined inherited disorder of platelet function characterized by qualitative and qualitative defect in cytoadhesive membrane protein, glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (the platelet fibrinogen receptor). From January 1990 to October, 1999, five patients who presented with mucocutaneous bleeding were detected to have Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. Clinical and laboratory spectrum of this rare disorder was studied which revealed heterogeneity of disease with respect to nature and severity of bleeding unpredictable by laboratory findings.

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
