Hemostasis during Extreme Exertion This review summarizes recent literature on the effect of #extremeexertion of both short and long duration on #coagulation, #fibrinolysis, and recovery of #hemostaticbalance. ow.ly/Xn2j30l7QBh

Dr. Hilde Kelchtermans gave an interesting lecture about thrombin generation in APS patients. #APS #APSpatients #highriskAPS #thrombingeneration #ISTHSSC2018

Since we have a Scanning EM available at Synapse Research Institute, very interesting collaborations have been going on. Below is shown how a fibrin biofilm covers a blood clot and protects it from microbial invasion. ow.ly/izti30kNGYP

Lecture at the ISLH 2018 by Professor Coen Hemker: "Thrombin Generation: Concept; Methodology; Pitfalls and Evolution".

So many new innovations currently at our Research Institute. Our research is just as exciting as watching a James Bond movie!

Synapse Research Institute and Ghent University Hospital initiated a European multicenter study to measure antibodies in order to obtain more information on APS (the AntiPhosholiphid Syndrome). This "APS multicenter study" is still running and results are promising!

We are delighted to announce the 11th Meeting of the European Forum on Antiphospholipid Antibodies, which will be held in Maastricht on September 25-26, 2018. Save the date and register via our website! apsmaastricht.com/

The current study contributes to the translation of flow cytometry based platelet function testing from a scientific tool to a diagnostic test. ow.ly/o0Kk30iuhCi
