  2. 1. Pre-Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Radiotracer for the Diagnosis of DVT and Pulmonary Embolism

    Author : David Edwards; Håkan Ahlström; Stuart McCully; Hans Johnsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Radiology; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are different aspects of a single condition, venous thrombo-embolic disease (VTE), a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. Rapid diagnosis is critical, as timely medical intervention can have a substantial beneficial effect on the mortality rate. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thromboembolism following orthopaedic surgery : outcome and diagnostic procedures after prophylaxis in lower limb injuries

    Author : Lasse Lapidus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Orthopaedic surgery; deep vein thrombosis DVT ; pulmonary embolism PE ; colour duplex sonography; phlebography; fracture surgery; Achilles tendon rupture.;

    Abstract : Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) frequently occur after major orthopaedic surgery. The clinical assessment of DVT and PE is unreliable and most cases are asymptomatic. However, even in asymptomatic DVTs, the risk for a PE is considerable. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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.

  6. 4. Acute achilles tendon rupture : predictors and intervention to promote outcome

    Author : Erica Domeij Arverud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Achilles tendon rupture;

    Abstract : Background: Orthopaedic trauma and surgery is still associated with major complications related to immobilization, which results in reduced circulation, thromboembolic events, impaired healing and functional deficits. An acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is associated with a high risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and varied extent of impaired physical ability. READ MORE

  7. 5. VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN EPIDEMIOLOGY AND RISK FACTORS

    Author : Nazim Isma; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; Venous thromboembolism VTE ; risk factors; factor V leiden FVL ; socioeconomic status SES ; upper extremety deep venous thrombosis UEDVT ; haemoglobin Hb ; low molecular weight heparin LMWH ; labour;

    Abstract : Despite the fact that venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality there is still insufficient information on VTE risk factors and patient characteristics in the general population. Previously published incidences of VTE (deep venous thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism [PE]) vary from 71 to 192 per 100,000 individuals per year. READ MORE
