28,183 | Turbulent flow evaluation of the venous needle during hemodialysis. | Arteriovenous (AV) grafts and fistulas used for hemodialysis frequently develop intimal hyperplasia (IH) at the venous anastomosis of the graft, leading to flow-limiting stenosis, and ultimately to graft failure due to thrombosis. Although the high AV access blood flow has been implicated in the pathogenesis of graft s... |
28,184 | [Current issues in the initial phase of warfarin therapy]. | Warfarin is the most commonly used vitamin K antagonist (VKA), based on its demonstrated efficacy in the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thromboembolism. Optimal management of warfarin therapy is a daily challenge, mainly because of its complex pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In particular, the i... |
28,185 | Comparative evaluation of radial optic neurotomy and panretinal photocoagulation in the management of central retinal vein occlusion. | There is currently no treatment proven effective for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Radial optic neurotomy (RON) has recently surfaced as a new treatment for the disorder, however, and we compare here the visual acuity (VA) and arteriovenous transit time (AVTT) following RON and panretinal photocoagulation (PRP... |
28,186 | Effects of mild leg exercise in a seated position on haemostatic parameters under normobaric hypoxic conditions. | This study tested the hypothesis that in humans mild leg exercise affects haemostasis in normobaric hypoxia and thus avoids the development of a deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Eight young men breathed in a 15.4% oxygen in nitrogen gas mixture for 2 hrs while seated at rest (R) or seated and performing a 3-min mild leg e... |
28,187 | [Internal jugular vein spontaneous thrombosis. Clinical case and review of the literature]. | Internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJT) represents a potentially serious pathology that can be spontaneous or secondary to head and neck infections, surgery, venous catheterization and intravenous drug abuse among others. We report the case of a male affected with IJT without clear cause after performing a complete exam... |
28,188 | Therapy Insight: management of urology patients taking long-term warfarin anticoagulation therapy. | Chronic warfarin anticoagulation is commonly used to prevent thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism, and in the management of patients with mechanical heart valves. Interruption of long-term anticoagulation therapy for elective, planned urologic procedures in these patients creat... |
28,189 | [Pulmonary artery thromboembolism in patients with trauma]. | The study accrued 257 patients with mechanical traumas of varying severity and sites, complicated by post-traumatic phiebothrombosis. In 87 (33.85%) patients, traumatic disease was aggravated by pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PTE). In the course of the study we evaluated risk factors of PTE related to the patient's ... |
28,190 | Skin venous thromboembolism by combined oral contraceptive in a woman with acquired angioedema and Factor V Leiden mutation. | The purpose of this study is to report a case of acquired angioedema and Factor V Leiden mutation in a woman who had started taking an oral contraceptive (OC), and to review the literature.</AbstractText>A 44-year-old nonobese and nonsmoking woman was admitted to our hospital because of pain and progressive erythematou... |
28,191 | Risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Thai reproductive aged female: King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital experience. | To estimate the risk factors of VTE focusing on oral pill use, alcohol intake and smoking among women who attended at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2004.</AbstractText>The study design was case-control study. A Case was defined as the female inpatient who was diagnosed with... |
28,192 | Portal vein thrombosis after laparoscopic colectomy: thrombolytic therapy via the superior mesenteric vein. | Portal vein thrombosis is a rare but well-reported complication after laparoscopic surgery. We present a case of portomesenteric venous thrombosis that occurred 8 days after a laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy. Systemic anticoagulation failed to improve symptoms. The early postoperative state precluded the use ... |
28,193 | [Pharmacogenetics of the local thrombolysis in patients with deep vein thrombosis]. | Thrombophilia, the state of increased tendency for blood clotting, is considered the disorder of a complex etiology, caused by both environmental and genetic factors. As gene variants predisposing to thrombophilia and influencing the increased risk of vein thrombosis might influence response to local thrombolysis, the ... |
28,194 | Economic evaluation of enoxaparin as postdischarge prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elective hip surgery. | Clinical trials indicate enoxaparin thromboprophylaxis (Clexane) can be effective and safe when used in an outpatient setting and that extending the length of thromboprophylaxis with enoxaparin to the postdischarge period may be more effective than inpatient thromboprophylaxis alone. This may increase the cost of throm... |
28,195 | Medical management and adjuvant therapies in spinal metastatic disease. | Metastatic spinal tumors are an increasingly common and difficult problem encountered by neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons. To improve therapies and increase life expectancy for patients with tumors such as those of the breast and prostate, a global, systematic approach is required to maximize the preservation of n... |
28,196 | Evidence for the importance of extracranial venous flow in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by increased ICP without evidence for intracranial mass lesion. Although the pathogenesis remains unknown, some association was found with intracranial venous thrombosis. To our knowledge, the extracranial venous drainage was not systematically evaluated in th... |
28,197 | [Morbidity of unilateral and bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy according to the indication. Report of a series of 100 consecutive cases]. | Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the reference technique for the treatment of adrenal tumours. This retrospective study reports the experience of 100 consecutive laparoscopic adrenalectomies, in order to assess its indications, the incision, the morbidity and to determine the limitations of this procedure.</AbstractText>B... |
28,198 | Cancer related thrombophilia: clinical importance and management strategies. | Acquired thrombophilic state associated with a significant risk of thrombosis is frequently encountered in malignancy. Venous and arterial thromboembolism is a common complication and patients with cancer, also present with a hypercoagulable state, even in the absence of thrombosis. Furthermore, clotting activation may... |
28,199 | Low-molecular-weight heparin and calcium heparin in thrombosis prophylaxis in patients with percutaneous arterial and venous ports for colorectal liver metastases. | The evaluation of low-molecular-weight heparin use to prevent arterial and venous thrombosis in patients with indwelling arterial Port-a-Cath implants.</AbstractText>From 1996 to March 2003 we placed 370 indwelling hepatic arterial catheters with a minimally invasive approach. The left distal subclavian artery was appr... |
