Sometimes, major injury causes blood loss that results in improper clotting, or coagulopathy. Some researchers think a compound used in perfume to create jasmine fragrances could help save these patients.

High elevations can be a problem for humans. Since the air is thinner, you get less oxygen with every breath, leading to all kinds of negative side effects. But there are millions of people around the world who spend their whole lives at...

Today on SciShow news, dead person wisdom is helping enrich our understanding of the natural world - how did Vikings manage to be such awesome navigators? And is heart disease inherent in human beings? Scientists think mummies may have...

When the ancestor of cetaceans went back into the water some 50 million years ago, it left a few things behind—including the functioning of certain genes that seem like they’d be hard to live without.

High elevations can be a problem for humans. Since the air is thinner, you get less oxygen with every breath, leading to all kinds of negative side effects. But there are millions of people around the world who spend their whole lives at...

Sitting for long periods can cause blood clots due to impeded flow of blood. Sitting without moving much can cause the blood to clot according to the effects of gravity. This doesn’t happen during sleep since we do move our bodies during...

Does a Google search for itchy skin or a tickle in your throat lead to some scary results? Don’t start making funeral plans just yet! Before you fall down the internet rabbit hole, watch our video and learn how to use search results to...

Pulmonary Embolism is a potentially life-threatening medical condition caused when a blood clot (Embolus) gets stuck in a pulmonary artery. The origin of the embolus is most likely a Deep Vein thrombus (DVT) of the leg. I made an...

In this video, we explore the purpose and components of blood. We learn that blood carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body. This video is part of the 10-part series, Circulation and Respiration.

In this segment, we continue our discussion on Western diseases and explore how sugar, chronically elevated insulin, and inflammation lead to a diseased cardiovascular system.

The video explains the components of blood, which include plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It describes each component's role and how they work together to transport substances to and from body cells, defend...

In this video, we explore the basics of deep vein thromboses [DVTs] and pulmonary embolisms [PEs].

Strokes are primarily caused by blood clots in the blood vessels of the brain. An NSF-funded technology developed by Insera Therapeutics is designed to efficiently trap and remove these clots, even in some of the tiniest blood vessels....

Learn how the SHELTER (TM) device works and see it in action, removing a gummi bear "clot" from a model of blood vessels in the brain.

Sitting for long periods can cause blood clots due to impeded flow of blood. Sitting without moving much can cause the blood to clot according to the effects of gravity. This doesn’t happen during sleep since we do move our bodies during...

In this video, we discuss the Wells Criteria for Deep Vein Thromboses [DVTs].

This video discusses the formation of blood clots and the potential dangers they pose. It explains the components of a blood clot and how they form, both in a beneficial way to stop bleeding and in a harmful way that can lead to...

This is How Easy It Is to Lie With Statistics

In this video, we explore the mechanisms of action of drugs affecting some aspect of the clotting cascade including factor Xa, thrombin, and plasmin.

Head injury is the most common cause of blood clots in the brain, and is thought to cause strokes. Three minimal invasive catheter methods to retrieve clots have been developed. Coiling uses a coilable microwire to wrap around the clot...

In this video, we discuss:<br/>
1) Platele<br/>t functions
2) Platelet development from megakaryocytes

In this video, we explore:<br/>
1) the physiology of healthy blo<br/>od vessels,
2) the physiology of <br/>damaged blood vessels,
3) platelet function in hemostasis

A research team at MIT developed a novel nanoparticle that detects blood clots before they cause stroke or other adverse cardiac events. This non-invasive clot detection assay presents an fast and affordable method to screen for blood...

This CTE Health Sciences video focuses on the proper use, pronuciation and definitions of the medical terminology pertaining to the Cardiovascular System.<b<br/>r/>
