Brady - This is excellent, although a little complicated with so much on one slide - We always use Roman numerals for coag factors, so that 5a & 8a should be corrected - I’m not sure what you mean when you say that the PTT reflects primarily Factor XI since it will detect significant deficiencies in any of the Factors that it includes - Anyway, very nice job - I’m proud of you - Dennis

Need to make it just one step more complex and add Lovenox effect; probably on your lower left area, that is fairly empty, Mainly affecting factor X on a 4:1 basis over heparin, with minimal effects on thrombin and other factors.
