  2. 1. Hepatic and Portal Vein Thrombosis : studies on epidemiology and risk factors

    Author : Rupesh Rajani; Sven Almer; Tomas Lindahl; Dominique-Charles Valla; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) i.e. thrombosis in the hepatic veins and/or inferior vena cava, and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are rare disorders. Epidemiological data are scarce and previous reports have been from highly specialised referral centres. READ MORE

  4. 2. Clinical probability assessment and biochemical markers in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis

    Author : Johan Elf; Malmö Klinisk koagulationsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Venous thrombosis; APC-PCI complex.; D-Dimer; Clinical probability; Diagnosis;

    Abstract : The combination of pre-test clinical probability assessment and D-dimer test is now widely applied in the diagnostic process of DVT. The general objective of the present investigation was to validate these results in a Swedish routine emergency setting were the prevalence of the disease is high and were the clinical probability assessment was handled by many junior physicians.

  5. 3. Epidemiology of venous thromboembolism with focus on risk markers

    Author : Magdalena Johansson; Lars Johansson; Marcus Lind; Jan-Håkan Jansson; Gerd Lärfars; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Venous thromboembolism; venous thrombosis; deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; incidence; risk markers; diabetes; glucose; alcohol consumption; alcohol dependence; physical activity; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a vascular disease with an incidence of approximately 140 cases per 100,000 person-years in adults. The incidence of VTE has increased over the last decades, and more than 20% of affected individuals die in the first year after diagnosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Treatment of deep vein thrombosis and risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism

    Author : Per Lindmarker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; low molecular mass heparin; therapy; outpatients; recurrent; risk factors; APC-resistance; factor V G1691A; prothrombin G20210A; side;

    Abstract : A cute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are different clinical presentations of the same underlying disease, namely venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is a common and potentially fatal condition. Risk factors associated with the first and probably also subsequent events of VTE are hereditary or acquired. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of a Method to Measure Plasma Levels of Activated Protein C in Complex with Protein C Inhibitor

    Author : Karin Strandberg; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein C inhibitor; activated protein C; hypercoagulability; deep vein thrombosis; Clinical chemistry; myocardial infarction; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are conditions caused by thrombus formation with activation of the coagulation system. The plasma concentration of the complex between activated protein C (APC) and protein C inhibitor (PCI), APC–PCI complex is increased in such states. READ MORE
