  2. 6. Venous thromboembolism. Aspects on risk factors, diagnostic tools and treatment with thrombin inhibition

    Author : Karin Wåhlander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism; Factor V Leiden; prothrombin gene G20210A; thrombin inhibition; ximelagatran; melagatran; PT; APTT; D-dimer.;

    Abstract : Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a multifactorial disease. The aims of the present thesis were to investigate Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A mutations as potential risk factors for VTE during and after major surgery, to compare different D-dimer assays and evaluate their usefulness in the diagnosis of DVT, to investigate clinical effects, safety and pharmacokinetic properties of an oral thrombin inhibitor (ximelagatran) when treating VTE and finally to investigate the usefulness of coagulation assays (APTT and PT) during treatment with thrombin inhibition.

  4. 7. Effects of early functional mobilization after acute Achilles tendon rupture repair

    Author : Susanna Aufwerber; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Patient outcome after Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) varies greatly, and complications such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and tendon elongation are common. Although accelerated rehabilitation is considered safe, the optimal content of the rehabilitation protocol is still unknown. READ MORE

  5. 8. Studies on venous function after deep venous thrombosis

    Author : Lena M Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : venous plethysmography;

    Abstract : Background: The incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is estimated to be about 1-2/1000 per year of which approximately 4 % are located in the arm veins. Some of the most important late effects of a DVT are chronic venous dysfunction and the development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). READ MORE

  6. 9. On diagnostic procedures in pulmonary embolism

    Author : Mårten Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CTPA; D-dimer; deep venous thrombosis; pre-test probability score; pulmonary arteriography; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism; von Willebrand factor antigen; Wells score.;

    Abstract : Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are two entities of venous thromboembolism (VTE). PE is a common cause of mortality and morbidity. The symptoms and signs of PE are difficult to interpret, and the diagnosis is difficult to establish. READ MORE

  7. 10. Venous thromboembolism: Risk factors, comorbidities, and treatment-associated risk of bleedings

    Author : Katarina Glise Sandblad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Venous thromboembolism; Registries; Overweight; Body mass index; Incidence; Cardiovascular disease; Anticoagulants; Apixaban; Rivaroxaban; Warfarin; Hemorrhage;

    Abstract : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease, consisting mainly of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Since VTE often is a preventable disease, knowledge of risk factors is critical. Following a VTE, many patients are subjected to extended anticoagulant treatment. READ MORE
