Neonatal thrombosis: causes, pathogenesis, treatment features

Thrombosis in vasculitis: from pathogenesis to treatment

In recent years, the relationship between inflammation and thrombosis has been deeply investigated and it is now clear that immune and coagulation systems are functionally interconnected. Inflammation-induced thrombosis is by now considered a feature not only of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, but also of systemic vasculitides such as Behçet's syndrome, ANCA-associated vasculitis or giant cells ...

Pathogenesis, Clinical Features, and Diagnosis of Thrombosis in the Newborn

Neonatal ascending aorta thrombosis: A case report

Thrombotic events are very unusual in neonatal period. This congenital anomaly may be caused by certain risk factors such as polycythemia, perinatal asphyxia, septicemia, maternal diabetes, dehydration, and low cardiac output, or it may occur upon catheterization of central lines. A 20-day-old neonate was referred to our ward with primary signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP). Echocardiog...

Neonatal thrombosis.

Neonatal thromboembolic events, both arterial and venous, are rare but increasingly recognised problems in tertiary care neonatology. The pathophysiology of these events in the context of the neonatal haemostatic system and the importance of both inherited and acquired prothrombotic disorders remain poorly defined. Similarly, optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in this setting are not...

Atherosclerosis: Pathogenesis, Clinical Features and Treatment

Worldwide, more people die of the complications of a disease that has been a companion ofmankind since antiquity than of any other cause. This disease is called atherosclerosis. Macroscopic and microscopic evidence of atherosclerosis has been found in the aortas and the carotid, coronary and femoral arteries of mummies from Egypt, North America and China dating from around 3000 BC to AD 400 (Cu...
