REDUCED CLOT STRENGTH UPON ADMISSION, EVALUATED BY THROMBELASTOGRAPHY (TEG), IN TRAUMA PATIENTS IS INDEPENDENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED 30-DAY MORTALITY

Reduced clot strength upon admission, evaluated by thrombelastography (TEG), in trauma patients is independently associated with increased 30-day mortality

Abstract Introduction Exsanguination due to uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of potentially preventable deaths among trauma patients.About one third of trauma patients present with coagulopathy on admission, which is associated with increased mortality and will aggravate bleeding in a traumatized patient.Thrombelastographic (TEG) clot str

Heterologous overexpression of bacterial hemoglobin VHb improves erythritol biosynthesis by yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Abstract Background Yarrowia lipolytica is an unconventional yeast with a huge industrial potential.Despite many advantages here for biotechnological applications, it possesses enormous demand for oxygen, which is a bottleneck in large scale production.In this study a codon optimized bacterial hemoglobin from Vitreoscilla stercoraria (VHb) was over
