Platelet Physiology and Abnormalities of Platelet Function: (First of Two Parts)

Weiss, Harvey J.·1975·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

THE blood platelets, approximately 2 μm in diameter and numbering 200,000 to 400,000 per cubic millimeter, are produced in the megakaryocytes of the bone marrow by the coalescence of cytoplasmic membranes formed by invaginations of the megakaryocyte surface.1 Under normal circumstances, platelets circulate in the blood for 10 days as smooth, disk-shaped cells that are nonadherent to each other and to normal vascular endothelium. Their unique biologic properties are the changes that occur when the endothelium is broken or when disruption of the vessel allows the blood to come into contact with elements of the vessel . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
