Platelets in thrombotic disorders: quantitative and qualitative platelet disorders predisposing to arterial thrombosis.

abstract：:Continuous daily treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia has been associated with a marked decline in the plasma drug concentration at the time of relapse. Recent pharmacologic studies have attempted to determine the reasons for the progressive reduction of plasma co...
