The assessment of the adequacy of anticoagulation includes serial measurements of the activated clotting time (ACT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and thromboelastography (TEG).

The Cancer Gene Census (CGC; Futreal et al., 2004) is a regularly updated compilation of well-studied cancer genes, which classifies their mode of action as dominant or recessive, following the oncogene/tumor suppressor paradigm, LoF and Act (activated), hereafter.
RA acts activating specific gene transcription by binding to heterodimers of the RA receptor (RAR) and the retinoid X receptor (RXR), which then bind to RA response elements (RAREs) in regulatory regions of targets genes [13].
SPAD: Single pass albumin dialysis; MARS: Molecular adsorbent recirculating system; ALF: Acute liver failure; GEDI: Global enddiastolic volume index; ELWI: Extravascular lung water index; ACT: Activated clotting time; SVRI: Systemic vascular resistance index.
Cisplatin is thought to act by activating apoptosis and altering a number of other cellular parameters.
Some sRNA molecules act as repressors of translation and destabilize mRNA transcripts, but others act by activating and stabilizing target mRNAs [ 30- 32].
