Line Olrik Berthelsen Time and Place: Friday 19 November 2010 at 14:00 p.m. in Lecture Hall A1-01-01 (1-01), Bulowsvej 17, Ground Floor, 1870 Frederiksberg C Subject Area: Veterinary Hemostasis and Thrombosis Title of PhD Thesis: Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation; Development and Standardization of a non-clinical rabbit Model Title of Lecture: Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation; Development and Standardization of a non-clinical rabbit Model Summary: The overall hypothesis of the present thesis is that a disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) scoring system can be applied to a rabbit model of thromboplastin induced DIC. This approach could lead to a standardized and clinical relevant animal model of non-overt and overt DIC, which would ease the comparison of findings in animal models of DIC to human DIC in the search of treatment modalities for DIC.
