      Touw, Carolina E.; Nemeth, Banne; Lijfering, Willem M.; van Adrichem, Raymond A.; Wilsgård, line; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Ramberg, Cathrine; Nelissen, Rob G. H. H.; Hansen, John Bjarne; Cannegieter, Suzanne C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-08)
      Background: Lower-leg injury and knee arthroscopy are both associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). The mechanism of VTE in both situations is unknown, including the role of procoagulant microparticles. This may provide useful information for individualizing thromboprophylactic treatment in both patient groups.<p> <p>Objective: We aimed to study the effect of (1) lower-leg trauma and (2) ...
    • Impact of preanalytical conditions on plasma concentration and size distribution of extracellular vesicles using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis 

      Jamaly, Simin; Ramberg, Cathrine; Olsen, Randi; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Webster, Paul; Sovershaev, Timofey; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      Optimal pre-analytical handling is essential for valid measurements of plasma concentration and size distribution of extracellular vesicles (EVs). We investigated the impact of plasma preparation, various anticoagulants (Citrate, EDTA, CTAD, Heparin), and fasting status on concentration and size distribution of EVs measured by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). Blood was drawn from 10 healthy ...
    • A modified clot-based assay to measure negatively charged procoagulant phospholipids 

      Ramberg, Cathrine; Jamaly, Simin; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Wilsgård, line; Sovershaev, Timofey; Snir, Omri; Hansen, Jesper (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-29)
      Growing evidence supports a role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) in haemostasis and thrombosis due to exposure of negatively charged procoagulant phospholipids (PPL). Current commercial PPL-dependent clotting assays use chemically phospholipid depleted plasma to measure PPL activity. The purpose of our study was to modify the PPL assay by substituting the chemically phospholipid depleted plasma ...
    • Plasma procoagulant phospholipid clotting time and venous thromboembolism risk 

      Ramberg, Cathrine; Wilsgård, line; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hindberg, Kristian; Sovershaev, Timofey; Snir, Omri; Hansen, John Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-20)
      Background - Negatively charged procoagulant phospholipids, phosphatidylserine (PS) in particular, are vital to coagulation and expressed on the surface membrane of extracellular vesicles. No previous study has investigated the association between plasma procoagulant phospholipid clotting time (PPL<sub>CT</sub>) and future risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).<p> <p>Objectives - To investigate the ...
    • The Role of Plasma Extracellular Vesicles and Procoagulant Phospholipid Activity in Venous Thromboembolism 

      Ramberg, Cathrine (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-11-05)
      Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the formation of a blood clot in, most commonly, the deep veins of the lower extremities and the pulmonary circulation. VTE is a prevalent disease associated with severe short- and long-term complications. Negatively charged procoagulant phospholipids (PPL), and phosphatidylserine (PS) in particular, are vital to efficient coagulation activation, and found expressed ...
    • Rosuvastatin treatment decreases plasma procoagulant phospholipid activity after a VTE: A randomized controlled trial 

      Ramberg, Cathrine; Hindberg, Kristian; Biedermann, Joseph S.; Cannegieter, Suzanne C.; van der Meer, Felix J.; Snir, Omri; Leebeek, Frank W. G.; Kruip, Marieke J. H. A.; Hansen, John Bjarne; Lijfering, Willem M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-25)
      Background - Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent cardiovascular disease with severe complications, including recurrence and death. There is a great need for alternative prophylactic treatment options as anticoagulation is accompanied by increased bleeding risk. Statins are reported to reduce the risk of incident and recurrent VTE, but the mechanisms are elusive. Procoagulant phospholipids ...
