clotting

With some additional clotting factors and tissue sealing agents (tranglutaminase comes to mind), rapid wound closure looks pretty feasible.

The addition of a clotting agent would stop venous oozing, but wouldn’t affect hemodynamics of the patient.

Apparently they're really good to use when re-attaching a finger, they prevent pooling and release a blood-thinner to prevent clotting.

Or does the extra-rapid clotting actually trap pathogens within the solid matrix, preventing them from spreading further into the body?

What about artificial heart parts, which have problems with blood clotting, presumably because it sticks to the surfaces and stops moving.

Oh and DHA supplements also have a nasty side effect of preventing blood clotting, damaging immune response and increasing LDL levels.

No wait, that doesn't work, I mean blood clotting!

They had various powders to put in wounds that did actually aid clotting or accelerate healing, but they didn't know why at the time.

The functions of platelets are related to the clotting of blood.

That leads to understanding blood clotting and the role of bacteria.

My seven-year-old son has a friend with hemophilia; if he didn't get regular infusions of clotting factor and similar treatments, he might live for another ten years--fifteen, tops.

Other scientists have tried to prove his examples weren't irreducibly complex (e.g., dolphins and puffer fish have steps removed from their blood clotting reaction compared to humans), but yeah.

He has the "irreducibly complex" theory, and a few examples of biochemical reactions (human blood clotting is one) that he believes are irreducibly complex.

If you're delaying on this point out of some idea of wanting to "try to fix things first" or "not wanting to be the bad guy," you're just shooting yourself in the foot and downing blood thinners to keep the wound from clotting.

However we still cannot fully counteract the negative effects of sitting, to quote the article which I linked in my previous post: "Adding to the mounting evidence, Hamilton recently discovered that a key gene (called lipid phosphate phosphatase-1 or LPP1) that helps prevent blood clotting and inflammation to keep your cardiovascular system healthy is significantly suppressed when you sit for a few hours.
