Forms: form: hirudines
Etymology: From Latin hirūdō (“leech”).
Senses: examples: text: Weill and Nouriquand conclude that under certain conditions hemorrhage may develop after leech applications in consequenc of a hemophilia due to hirudine. Investigations have been made showing that hirudine is a nucleoproteid, which they hope to demonstrate in the blood of such patients.
ref: 1912, E. Weill, C. Nouriquand, “Secondary Hemorrhage Following the Application of Leeches”, in The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, volume 143, page 130:
text: The antagonistic action of hirudine may be exerted at several stages of the coagulation of the blood. Hirudine can retard indefinitely the transformation of proserozyme into serozyme, can markedly retard the reaction between serozyme and cytozyme which produces thrombin, and can function as an antithrombin and neutralize the thrombin when the latter is formed.
