  2. 21. 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

  4. 22. Pro- and anticoagulant mechanisms in coronary artery disease. Clinical studies on factor VII and resistance to activated protein C

    Author : Johan Holm; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein C; Factor VII; blood coagulation; myocardial infarction; APC resistance; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; warfarin;

    Abstract : The triggering mechanism in myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina involves coronary thrombus formation following plaque rupture. Coagulation is initiated by tissue factor that activates factor VII (FVII), and is inhibited by protein C and its co-factor protein S. READ MORE

  5. 23. Interaction of human blood platelets, lymphocytes and monocytes with vascular laminin isoforms

    Author : Gezahegn Gorfu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vascular laminin isoforms; extracellular matrix; integrins; cell adhesion; cell migration; high endothelial venules; lymphocytes; monocytes; platelets; leukocyte extravasation;

    Abstract : Inflammatory and immune responses play a fundamental role in both health and disease, and leukocytes are important actors in these processes. Migration of the leukocytes to sites of injury or inflammation is a crucial component of innate and adaptive immunity. It is currently accepted that leukocyte extravasation is a multistep process.

  6. 24. Venous thrombosis in children : the roles of vascular access and critical illness

    Author : Åsa Östlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Venous thromboembolism (VT) is a rare event in the general pediatric population. However, the incidence in hospitalized children is higher and has increased dramatically reaching 58 per 10 000 children. The single most important risk factor for pediatric VT is the presence of a central venous catheter. READ MORE

  7. 25. Hemocompatibility of materials for use in prosthetic heart valves

    Author : Yanqi Yang; Eric G. Butchart; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Heart valve prosthesis; mechanical heart valves; bioprosthetic heart valves; biomaterials; hemocompatibility; blood-material interaction; in vivo test; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Thromboembolism (valve thrombosis and systemic embolism) is the main drawback of mechanical heart valve prostheses. The patients carrying these valves have to be subjected to life-long anticoagulant therapy to reduce thromboembolism. READ MORE
