28,685 | Robot-assisted laparoscopic and open live-donor nephrectomy: a comparison of donor morbidity and early renal allograft outcomes. | Robot-assisted laparoscopic donor (RALD) nephrectomy, a new procedure for the removal of a kidney from a living donor, was performed on 13 subjects at our centre.</AbstractText>The immediate post-operative courses for these donors, and their respective recipients, were compared with those of 13 previous open live-donor... |
28,686 | Oral direct thrombin inhibitor ximelagatran compared with warfarin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty. | Warfarin, which requires coagulation monitoring, is associated with relatively high rates of thromboembolism despite providing adequate prophylaxis.

28,687 | Immunohistochemical study in dural arteriovenous fistulas and possible role of local hypoxia for the de novo formation of dural arteriovenous fistulas. | Although previous clinical and experimental studies investigated the pathogenesis of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs), the biological process leading to intracranial DAVFs so far remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the expression of vascular growth factors in order to elucidate the possible role of thes... |
28,688 | Systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis. | Ultrasound (US) has largely replaced contrast venography as the definitive diagnostic test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of US for clinically suspected DVT and identify study-level factors that might predict accuracy.</AbstractText>We undertook a sys... |
28,689 | Acute Budd-Chiari syndrome resulting from a pyogenic liver abscess. | Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare condition resulting from outflow obstruction of the liver. This syndrome due to a pyogenic abscess is rarely documented in the English literature. Here a male patient with acute Budd Chiari syndrome is presented. A 21-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of severe ri... |
28,690 | Postoperative portal vein thrombosis in patients with hepatosplenic mansonic schistosomiasis: relationship with intraoperative portal pressure and flow. A prospective study. | <AbstractText Label="BACKGROUND/AIMS" NlmCategory="OBJECTIVE">Portal vein thrombosis is a frequent postoperative complication after esophagogastric devascularization with splenectomy. The aim of this study was to analyze biochemical, hematological, coagulation blood tests and intraoperative portal vein hemodynamics aft... |
28,691 | Prothrombotic gene mutations and Crohn's disease; is there any association? | <AbstractText Label="BACKGROUND/AIMS" NlmCategory="OBJECTIVE">Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have an increased tendency for thromboembolism. In this study we aimed to determine the frequency of FV gene and Prothrombin G20210A gene mutations in a group of patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) and estimate its cor... |
28,692 | Portal venous system after endoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis--prospective study with Doppler sonography. | <AbstractText Label="BACKGROUND/AIMS" NlmCategory="OBJECTIVE">The aim of this prospective, clinical study was an ultrasonographic color Doppler evaluation of morphological and hemodynamic changes in the portal system prior to and after repeated, endoscopic injection sclerotherapy in patients with liver cirrhosis and he... |
28,693 | Subcutaneous venous reservoir implant: our experience in 1200 cases. | We present our experience in subcutaneous venous reservoir (SVR) implanting, laying emphasis on the surgical technique, the protocol followed for assessing difficulty, implant care and per- and post-implant complications and their management. Between March 1996 and December 2002 we installed 1200 SVRs on an outpatient ... |
28,694 | Radial optic neurotomy in central retinal vein occlusion: preliminary results. | To investigate the efficacy of radial optic neurotomy (RON) on visual prognosis and clinical findings in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).</AbstractText>Prospective, non-randomised, self-controlled comparative trial. Six patients with ischemic CRVO who had visual acuity (VA) less than or equal to 0.1 and duration ... |
28,695 | Thromboprophylaxis after cesarean delivery: a decision analysis. | To compare 4 strategies for managing patients after cesarean delivery.</AbstractText>Using decision analysis, we compared universal subcutaneous (SC) heparin prophylaxis, heparin prophylaxis only for patients with a genetic thrombophilia, use of pneumatic compression stockings (PCS), and no thromboprophylaxis. Outcomes... |
28,696 | Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava: three case reports and review of the literature. | We describe 3 cases of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and review the literature describing clinicopathologic features of 211 cases and the outcome. Of these, 74% of the cases affected women with median age of 52 years. The most common symptoms were abdominal pain or mass (57%), Budd-Chiari syndrome (17%... |
28,697 | Varicella zoster infection and pulmonary complications. | A 34-year-old immunocompetent man with varicella zoster (VZ) infection developed deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after suffering severe pneumonitis.

28,698 | Safety assessment of raloxifene over eight years in a clinical trial setting. | Osteoporosis is a chronic disorder that warrants long-term therapy. If benefits are to outweigh risks, the long-term safety profiles of these therapies must be favorable.
