Comparison between Revascularization and Optimal Medical Therapy in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris

Background and Purpose: Regarding usefulness of revascularization versus optimal medical therapy in patients with stable angina pectoris, data are challenging. The aim of this 12-month follow-up study was to compare the survival benefit associated with revascularization versus optimal medical therapy on the patients with stable angina pectoris. Materials and Methods: A prospective clinical s...

Prevalence of Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Syrian Patients with Thrombosis

Background: Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are a heterogeneous family of anti-bodies associated with thrombosis and other complications. Objective: To study the prevalence of aPL in patients with thrombosis at Aleppo University Hospitals, Syria. Methods: One hundred and fifty-seven patients with venous and arterial thrombosis and 63 healthy controls were studied. Anticardiolipin antibodies (...

Differences in functional activity of anticardiolipin antibodies from patients with syphilis and those with antiphospholipid syndrome.

Anticardiolipin antibodies are produced both in patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and in patients with syphilis, but lupus anticoagulant activity has been reported only for the former group. To understand these differences, affinity-purified immunoglobulin G anticardiolipin antibodies from APS (n = 11) and syphilis (n = 5) patients were compared. Only the antibodies from the APS...

Anticardiolipin and Antibeta2glycoproteinI Antibodies in Patients with Hepatitis B and C Infections

Background: The clinical significance of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and some other viral infections is controversial. Objective: To study the prevalence of anticardiolipin antibody (ACLA) and antibeta2glycoproteinI antibody (antibeta2GPI antibody) in HCV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected patients and its association with liver clinical parame...
