30,488 | [D-dimer analysis in diagnosis of venous thromboembolism is reliable]. | Analysis of D-dimer as an alternative to costly radiological examinations for excluding venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains controversial. In part this appears due to varying analytical performance of different D-dimer assay methods. We have evaluated a D-dimer method from BioPool, Sweden. Samples for D-dimer analysis... |
30,489 | [Treatment of deep vein thrombosis. When to use which substance?]. | Current antithrombotic therapy of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) consists of an initial course of heparin, followed by the secondary prevention with oral anticoagulation (OAC). Low molecular weight heparin has several advantages over unfractionated heparin, however, renal insufficiency has to be observed to avoid accumulat... |
30,490 | Thrombophilic polymorphisms--factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T mutations--and preterm birth. | To evaluate the influence of three common thrombophilic polymorphisms, factor V Leiden (FV), prothrombin G20210A (PT), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T mutations, on preterm birth of unknown cause.</AbstractText>A single-centre case-control study of women with preterm infants < or =35 weeks of g... |
30,491 | Is Hughes-Stovin syndrome Behçet's disease? | Hughes-Stovin syndrome (HSS) is a rare clinical disorder, which has been described as the presence of pulmonary artery aneurysm in the setting of systemic thrombosis. The term "Incomplete Behçet's Disease" has also been used to describe this syndrome due to the clinical and histopathological similarities between B... |
30,492 | Venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer. Part II. Current treatment strategies. | Patients with cancer have an increased risk of thromboembolism. This complication is connected to a variety of different factors and is influenced by the conditions described in Virchow's triad: stasis, vascular endothelial damage, and hypercoagulability. Once thromboembolism is diagnosed, treatment in patients with ca... |
30,493 | Venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer. Part I. Survey of oncology nurses' attitudes and treatment practices for ambulatory settings. | Patients with cancer have a higher incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Little information currently exists on VTE and the understanding and beliefs of oncology nurses. Therefore, the attitudes and treatment practices of ambulatory oncology nurses were surveyed to determine the current knowledge base of VTE in pa... |
30,494 | Congenital absence of inferior vena cava as a rare cause of pulmonary thromboembolism. | Interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) with azygos continuation is an uncommon vascular anomaly that results from aberrant development during embryogenesis. We report a rare case of this anomaly, presenting with massive pulmonary embolism. Subsequent evaluation with abdominal CT scan revealed the congenital absen... |
30,495 | Behçet's disease in Moroccan children: a report of 12 cases. | We report 12 cases of Behçet's disease (BD) in children. The mean age of symptom onset was 12.4 years. Four patients (33.3%) had a past familial history of BD. Clinical manifestations were: oral aphtosis (n = 12), genital aphtosis (n = 9), ocular involvement (n = 9), neuro-Behçet (n = 6), venous thrombosis (n... |
30,496 | A miniature and mobile intermittent pneumatic compression device for the prevention of deep-vein thrombosis after joint replacement. | The WizAir-DVT is a miniature, lightweight (690 g), battery-operated and mobile intermittent pneumatic compression device (ICD), which enables continuous intraoperative use and immediate patient mobilization postoperatively. We compared its efficacy with a commonly used ICD, the Kendall SCD. Peak femoral vein flow velo... |
30,497 | Hyperhomocysteinemia in central retinal vein occlusion in young adults. | Several investigators have tried to assess the role of hyperhomocysteinemia and the 677C-T mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene as risk factors in retinal vein occlusion with contrasting results. Aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between increased homocysteine plasma level a... |
30,498 | Surgical treatments of central retinal vein occlusion. | Central retinal vein occlusion is a common retinal disease with usually severe complications. At present no safe treatment exists promoting the recovery of lost vision. Several surgical approaches to modify the natural course of the disease have been proposed in recent years. These options include laser-induced chorior... |
30,499 | A case of Legionnaires' disease with extensive concurrent deep vein thrombosis. | A previously healthy 37-y-old male presented with community-acquired pneumonia and extensive upper limb deep vein thrombosis.
