Heparinoids: Atrixia
Heparinoids are possibly the newest class of anticoagulants. Currently, there is only one drug in this class, Atrixia. Atrixia is a subcutaneous injection that is give once a day. It is usually used short term (only 5-9 days). It is the only anticoagulant that inhibits only factor Xa and does not affect thrombin.
Atrixia is typically taken once daily
Atrixia is new and therefore may be expensive
Atrixia is another anticoagulant option

Respecting those you don't respect-From Crucial Converstations Blog


Dialogue requires Mutual Respect, but this doesn’t mean you can only maintain dialogue with your buddies or with people you really admire. You can respect even those you mistrust or dislike.
Respect doesn’t require solid friendships…but it does call for the ability to see the humanity in others. It means that we see others as worthy of the civility we owe any human being—that no matter what happens in the conversations, we’re not going to violate the other person’s dignity. Period.

No diamonds.
