ASTM's temperature measurement standards provide the material and property specifications, as well as guides for the testing, calibration, and use of laboratory, industrial, and clinical instruments used in the determination of thermal variables, particularly temperature.
Factor XIII deficiency is a rare, genetic bleeding disorder characterized by deficiency of clotting factor XIII. Clotting factors are specialized proteins that are essential for the blood to clot properly.
A bleeding disorder occurs when blood does not clot fast enough. This results in too much bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time. Normal blood clotting is called coagulation. This complex process involves platelets and clotting or coagulation factors.
