29,086 | Elevated levels of leukocyte tissue factor mRNA in patients with venous thromboembolism. | Tissue factor (TF) mRNA levels in leukocyte and TF antigen in plasma were examined in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Although TF mRNA levels in leukocytes were higher in patients with DVT than in healthy volunteers, they were lower in patients with DVT than in those with solid cancer and those with dissemina... |
29,087 | Thrombophilic abnormalities and recurrence of venous thromboembolism in patients treated with standardized anticoagulant treatment. | Whether patients with hereditary or acquired thrombophilia have an increased risk for recurrence of venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of recurrence of venous thromboembolism in patients with and without thr... |
29,088 | Chlamydia conjunctivitis and central retinal vein occlusion. | To report a case of coexistent Chlamydia conjunctivitis and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in which both problems improved significantly after oral doxycyline.</AbstractText>Interventional case report.</AbstractText>A healthy 39-year-old man presented with follicular and papillary conjunctivitis, unresponsive to... |
29,089 | Acute pancreatitis combined with acute Budd-Chiari syndrome as the initial manifestation of small cell lung cancer. | Tumor metastasis to the pancreas is a rare but recognized cause of acute pancreatitis. Autopsy series have reported a 24-40% of pancreatic involvement in small cell lung cancer. However, only a very few cases of tumor-induced acute pancreatitis have been described. Budd-Chiari syndrome complicating lung cancer is a rar... |
29,090 | Temporary placement of the cava filter to the suprarenal segment of the inferior vena cava. | This paper describes successful results of temporary placement of the Russian removable cava filter "Zontik" to the suprarenal segment of the inferior vena cava for the time of performing cesarean section and for the short-term postoperative period in a patient with late pregnancy, venous thrombosis of the lower limbs ... |
29,091 | [The loss of work fitness and the course of invalidism in patients with limb vessel lesions]. | The growth of the sick rate of limb peripheral vessels associated with a severe outcome (trophic ulcers, amputation) exerts an appreciable effect on the lowering of quality of life in patients. This manifests by the prolonged loss of work fitness, change of the habitual occupation and disability establishment. Objectiv... |
29,092 | Deep venous thrombosis: behaviour of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte integrin pattern at baseline and after in vitro activation. | In a group of 18 subjects with acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT), evidenced by clinical examination and echo-color-Doppler, we examined the phenotypical expression of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) beta2-integrins (CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD18), obtained by using a flow cytofluorimeter. The evaluation was performe... |
29,093 | Low-molecular-weight heparins: an overview for the podiatric physician. | Deep venous thrombosis is a common but underdiagnosed medical condition. The epidemiologic features, economic impact, morbidity, and mortality of venous thromboembolism make it imperative that the podiatric physician be familiar with its pathogenesis as well as its pharmacologic treatment. Medical literature rooted in ... |
29,094 | Prospective comparison of indirect CT venography versus venous sonography in ICU patients. | The purpose of our study was to prospectively compare indirect CT venography (CTV) and duplex venous sonography in the evaluation of acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in ICU patients with suspected pulmonary embolism.</AbstractText>All ICU patients undergoing CT pulmonary angiography in the evaluation of acute pulmona... |
29,095 | Extended prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in major orthopaedic surgery. | The risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism continues after discharge from the hospital. Studies in patients undergoing hip replacement or hip fracture surgery consistently found the rate of asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis to be substantially reduced by extended out-of-hospital prophylaxis and meta-analyses demo... |
29,096 | Multiple versus single lumen umbilical venous catheters for newborn infants.<Pagination><StartPage>CD004498</StartPage><MedlinePgn>CD004498</MedlinePgn></Pagination><ELocationID EIdType="pii" ValidYN="Y">CD004498</ELocationID><Abstract><AbstractText Label="BACKGROUND" NlmCategory="BACKGROUND">Multiple lumen umbilical v... | Multiple lumen umbilical venous catheters (ML-UVCs) instead of single lumen UVCs (SL-UVCs) may decrease the need for additional venous lines. Although it seems self-evident that ML-UVCs would reduce the need of additional venous lines, the rates of associated complications might be different.</AbstractText>To compare t... |
29,097 | Interventional endovascular treatment for Budd-Chiari syndrome with long-term follow-up. | To present results of a 9 year followup of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stents placement in patients with Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) and to evaluate the clinical value and applicability of this approach.</AbstractText>44 consecutive patients with BCS (25 male and 19 female; average age, 42.6 years; a... |
29,098 | Placement of the VenaTech LP caval filter in the elderly: feasibility and clinical benefits of insertion via the arm. | To evaluate routine use of access sites in the arm for percutaneous caval filter placement (PCFP) in elderly patients. Neck arthritis, patient anxiety, access site thrombosis or fecal/urinary incontinence complicating jugular or femoral access may require alternative access sites in this population.</AbstractText>Acces... |
29,099 | Severe chronic venous insufficiency: magnitude of the problem and consequences. | The aim of this study was to characterize patients requiring hospitalization for severe chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) at the local and national levels and to analyze factors related to primary amputation. An administrative database (Nationwide Inpatient Sample, 1988-2000) and a single institution (1992-2000) were ... |
