BACKGROUND Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but fatal complication of hyperthyroidism that is induced by the hypercoagulable state of thyrotoxicosis. Although it is frequently difficult to diagnose CVT promptly, it is important to consider it in the differential diagnosis when a
BACKGROUND
Thyroid storm is a serious condition of thyrotoxicosis. Hyperthyroidism often presents with thrombotic events, especially at cerebral sites; however, the possible association between a lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT) and thyroid storm has not been previously reported. We
BACKGROUND
Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) are being preferred to unfractionated heparin (UFH) because of their superior convenience and a comparable or slightly better toxicity profile. Whether LMWH has an inhibitory effect on aldosterone that causes hyperkalemia is yet
We present a case of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) during pegylated interferon (peg-IFN)-alpha2b plus ribavirin treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). A 67-year-old man, who had been under treatment for hypertension and diabetes mellitus, was admitted to our hospital for peg-IFN-alpha2b plus
BACKGROUND
The value of order sets for clinical decision support has not been established.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether introduction of admission order sets increases the proportion of inpatients receiving deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis.
METHODS
Before-after study.

Blood stasis is one of the key risk factors in deep vein thrombosis. Localized blood oxygen and glucose depletion are main characteristics observed during stasis. However, the causal chain leading to clot formation is still obscure. According to our hypothesis, energy depletion causes opening of
A 34-year-old woman with primary antiphospholipid syndrome was admitted to the Gastroenterology Department of our hospital with fever, acute abdomen, watery diarrhea, and extremely high levels of inflammatory parameters. She had a history of left lower limb deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary
The antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis including hepatic veins. Although transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or liver transplantation have been considered for Budd-Chiari syndrome, treatment options for patients with complete obstruction
Cyclovirobuxine D is an active compound extracted from Buxus microphylla, which has been used for treating acute myocardial ischemia in China. The present study was to investigate its mechanism on myocardial ischemia. Cyclovirobuxine D significantly increased cardiomyocytes viability injured by
BACKGROUND
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a complication of immobilizing illness in both inpatient and outpatient settings and can lead to serious complications such as pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT and PE are collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism.
OBJECTIVE
To develop DVT and PE risk
Objective: Multiple case reports have implicated the use of heparin for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis with bilateral adrenal hemorrhage. Only 1 previous report has described this with the low molecular weight product, dalteparin.
BACKGROUND
Studies evaluating the accuracy of the SimpliRED D-dimer assay for venous thromboembolism (VTE) have used a capillary fingerstick blood sample, which requires the test to be performed immediately at the bedside. Initial studies showed a sensitivity for VTE of 90% to 95% when the assay was
In January 2003, a 70-year-old female consulted a doctor for a fever of unknown origin. She had microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, BUN 41 mg/dL, Cr 2.1 mg/dL and MPO-ANCA 44 U/mL, and was suspected of having ANCA-associated nephritis. A renal biopsy was not conducted because the patient had just
The aim of this study was to determine whether diabetes could be ameliorated in totally pancreatectomized baboons by heterotopic intraperitoneal autotransplantation of the tail of the pancreas with the duct unligated. Twenty-five baboons were made diabetic by total pancreatectomy. Six untreated
The Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the exocrine glands with extraglandular manifestations in up to 25% patients. Renal involvement occurs in 18.4-67% of cases, with tubulointerstitial nephritis being the most frequent pathology. We
