30,582 | Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism following chickenpox. | An 11-year-old girl developed proximal deep venous thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary embolism associated with antiphospholipid syndrome following chickenpox. She responded to prolonged anticoagulation therapy. |
30,583 | Optimizing factor prophylaxis for the haemophilia population: where do we stand? | The hallmark of severe haemophilia, defined as a circulating level of factor (F) VIII (haemophilia A cases) or FIX (haemophilia B cases) of < 1%, is recurrent bleeding into muscles and joints (haemarthroses) from an early age of life. The inevitable result of such bleeding is progressive joint damage, leading to dis... |
30,584 | Physical therapy and imaging outcome measures in a haemophilia population treated with factor prophylaxis: current status and future directions. | Routine infusions of factor VIII to prevent bleeding, known as prophylaxis, and other intensive therapies are being more broadly applied to patients with haemophilia. These therapies differ widely in replacement product usage, cost, frequency of venous access and parental effort. In order to address residual issues rel... |
30,585 | Treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome in a liver transplant unit, the role of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt and liver transplantation. | Budd-Chiari syndrome is an uncommon cause of liver failure usually associated with an underlying hypercoagulable state.</AbstractText>To evaluate current trends in management of Budd-Chiari syndrome at our institution.</AbstractText>Twenty-two patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome underwent transjugular intrahepatic porto... |
30,586 | Daily vs twice daily enoxaparin in the prevention of venous thromboembolic disorders during rehabilitation following acute spinal cord injury. | Subcutaneous administration of low molecular weight heparin (eg, enoxaparin) has been shown to be safe and effective in the prevention of acute venous thromboembolic (TE) disease following acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in the rehabilitation setting. However, emerging evidence suggests that different dosing strategies ... |
30,587 | Zinopin--the rationale for its use as a food supplement in Traveller's thrombosis and motion sickness. | Venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) has been associated with periods of prolonged immobility during air, sea and road travel. Motion sickness (MS) has also been reported during both long and short journeys. Current prophylactic therapies for both these indications are generally associated with side effects. Physiological pro... |
30,588 | Risk of venous thromboembolic disease associated with hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy: a clinical review. | Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) represent a serious complication related to hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Evidence on hormonal contraceptive- and HRT-related VTEs is derived almost exclusively from observational studies and points to a 2- to 6-fold increased relative risk of VTEs wit... |
30,589 | Optimal antithrombotic management of anticoagulated patients with a history of myocardial infarction. | A common clinical dilemma exists for optimal antithrombotic management of a patient requiring oral anticoagulation (such as venous thromboembolism) and continued secondary myocardial infarction prophylaxis. Often aspirin will be continued concomitantly with the indicated oral anticoagulation therapy; however, additiona... |
30,590 | Septic thrombophlebitis of the coronary sinus with complete recovery after surgical intervention. | This case represents a unique presentation of septic thrombophlebitis of the coronary sinus in that the infection was localized to the coronary sinus, the etiology was unclear, and the patient recovered uneventfully after surgery. |
30,591 | Unilateral battery depletion in Parkinson's disease patients treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation may require urgent surgical replacement. | We describe 2 patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in whom unilateral stimulator battery depletion resulted in the rapid appearance of disabling PD symptoms (severe rigidity, bradykinesia and gait difficulty). Both patients did not resp... |
30,592 | Headaches in pregnancy. | Migraine and TTH are primary headache disorders that occur commonly during pregnancy. Migraine sometimes occurs for the first time with pregnancy. The majority of migraineurs improve while pregnant; however, migraine often recurs post partum. Some disorders that produce, headache, such as stroke, cerebral venous thromb... |
30,593 | Paradoxical embolism in a preterm infant. | Cerebral paradoxical embolism has not until now been described as a cause of cryptogenic stroke in newborn infants. A male infant was born at 27 weeks 2 days' gestational age by emergency Caesarean section in a twin pregnancy because of intrauterine growth retardation and absence of diastolic flow in the twin. His birt... |
30,594 | Masson's intravascular hemangioma masquerading as effort thrombosis. | An otherwise healthy 55-year-old white woman had acute onset of right arm swelling. No precipitating factors were identified. Venograms revealed an occluded subclavian vein, and catheter-directed thrombolysis was performed. After lysis a persistent residual intraluminal filling defect was identified, with persistent sy... |
30,595 | C-reactive protein and red cell aggregation correlate with late venous function after acute deep venous thrombosis. | Risk factors leading to development and subsequent progression of chronic venous insufficiency after acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are only partially identified. Inflammation and rheologic abnormalities might have a causative role. The purpose of this study was to investigate C-reactive protein (CRP), D -dimer, an... |
30,596 | Perforator vein incompetence in chronic venous disease: a multivariate regression analysis model. | In the presence of superficial and deep vein insufficiency the effects, if any, of concurrent incompetent perforator veins (IPVs) on clinical status are masked. On the basis of multivariate regression analysis, this study examines the significance of perforator vein incompetence across the clinical classes of CEAP (C-c... |
30,597 | Combined regional thrombolysis and surgical thrombectomy for treatment of iliofemoral vein thrombosis. | In at least half of patients with iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis post-thrombotic syndrome develops when only anticoagulant therapy is given. We combined thrombolysis, applied under ischemic conditions,with surgical thrombectomy to restore patency and valve function. The technique and the short-term and long-term resu... |
30,598 | Iliac compression syndrome and recanalization of femoropopliteal and iliac venous thrombosis: a prospective study with magnetic resonance venography. | Poor iliac vein recanalization has been associated with compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery (RCIA/LCIV compression); however, this finding has been difficult to confirm. In a baseline study, RCIA/LCIV compression was detected with magnetic resonance imaging in patients with deep v... |
30,599 | Re-evaluation of iliac compression syndrome using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with acute deep venous thromboses. | The majority of proximal deep venous thromboses (DVTs) are thought to have propagated as a contiguous column from the calf veins. However, several authors have proposed that ileofemoral DVT commonly originates in the left common iliac vein (LCIV) at a site of compression by the overlying right common iliac artery (RCIA... |
