BACKGROUND Pericardiocentesis (PCC) had been taught as a mandatory skill in the
Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®) course as a bridge to definitive surgical therapy for …

Stromal cell‐derived Factor‐1α (SDF‐1α) stimulates the migration of bone marrow (BM)
cells, similar to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We previously demonstrated that …

BACKGROUND Coagulopathy following trauma is associated with poor outcomes.
Traumatic brain injury has been associated with coagulopathy out of proportion to other …

The Ewing's sarcoma cell line TC71 overexpresses vascular endothelial growth factor
