Derangement<\/em>:<\/p>\n

In\u00a0combinatorial<\/a>\u00a0mathematics<\/a>, a\u00a0derangement<\/b>\u00a0is a\u00a0permutation<\/a>\u00a0of the elements of a\u00a0set<\/a>, such that no element appears in its original position. In other words, a derangement is a permutation that has no\u00a0fixed points<\/a>.\u00a0[Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The body\u2019s cardiovascular system often is described as a network of one-way streets that connect the heart to other organs. Blood is the transport system, responsible for moving nutrients to the cells and waste away from them. A\u00a0common cold<\/a>\u00a0or a cut on the finger can lead to changes that help repair the damage, but when the body undergoes a more significant trauma, the blood can overreact, leading to an imbalance that can cause excessive clots or bleeding \u2014 and sometimes both.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Scientists call this \u201chemostatic derangement.\u201d In math, a derangement is a permutation in which no element is in its original position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Harlan Krumholz, a cardiac specialist at the Yale-New Haven Hospital Center, said no one knows whether blood complications are a result of a direct assault on blood vessels, or a hyperactive inflammatory response to the virus by the patient\u2019s immune system.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the theories is that once the body is so engaged in a fight against an invader, the body starts consuming the clotting factors, which can result in either blood clots or bleeding. In Ebola, the balance was more toward bleeding. In covid-19, it\u2019s more blood clots,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
