BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism may be the earliest sign of cancer. Currently, there is a great diversity in practices regarding screening for occult cancer in a person who has an unprovoked venous thromboembolism. We sought to assess the efficacy of a screening strategy for occult cancer that included comprehensive computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis in patients who had a firs...
T he radiographic presentation of air within the mediastinal planes is usually an indication of serious breach of an intrathoracic luminal structure. The unprovoked appearance of pneumomediastinum demands exclusion of such serious pathology before a course of conservative management can be safely pursued. A case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a patient with a history of asthma in childhood...
The approach to a child who has experienced a first unprovoked generalized tonic-clonic seizure is challenging and at the same time controversial. How to establish the diagnosis, ways and means of investigation and whether treatment is appropriate, are different aspects of this subject. In this writing the above mentioned matters are discussed.
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiologic profile of epileptic seizures in the general population of a defined area of Northwest Greece. We also investigated the frequency of epilepsy in the same population. METHODS The study area was the District of Corfu representing a population of about 11,3000 inhabitants. Cases have been recorded prospectively in the fram...
Background Unprovoked (idiopathic) venous thromboembolism (VTE) with no obvious antecedent risk factors, is associated with a significant risk of subsequent occult cancer. Conversely, there is a heightened risk of VTE in cancer patients. This bidirectional risk can be estimated from population-based cohort studies conducted in East Asians. Methods A literature search using medical subject hea...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be the first clinical manifestation of an occult malignancy. We aimed to assess the value, in daily practice, of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) for occult malignancy diagnosis in patients with unprovoked VTE.All PET-CTs performed over 5-years period (from January 2009 to October 2013) in adult patients followed in the Dep...
Venous thromboembolism [VTE] is a common medical condition that has significant morbidity and mortality. Although stringent guidelines recommend lifelong anticoagulation for patients with unprovoked VTE, the optimal management strategy for their long term treatment remains controversial. Whereas in cancer-associated VTE and second unprovoked VTE lifelong anticoagulation is universally accepted,...
BACKGROUND Whether to continue oral anticoagulant therapy beyond 6 months after an "unprovoked" venous thromboembolism is controversial. We sought to determine clinical predictors to identify patients who are at low risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism who could safely discontinue oral anticoagulants. METHODS In a multicentre prospective cohort study, 646 participants with a first, unprov...
A collection of Practice Guidelines published in AFP is available at http:// www.aafp.org/afp/ practguide. Diagnosis and management of unprovoked first seizures, which occur in approximately 150,000 adults in the United States each year, pose a challenge for physicians. Assessment, treatment, and prevention of recurrent seizures are key. This guideline from the American Academy of Neurology (AA...
