Hemostasis represents a group of balanced activities that keep the blood flowing It is a complete response system which has developed to guarantee blood fluidity and to limit blood loss after wounding, and adapts after exposure to infectious micro-organisms The failure of this control system causes ischemia, severe damage to the distal tissues and, ultimately, death This book provides an...
