BACKGROUND The use of thrombolytic agents in the treatment of hemodynamically stable patients with acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PTE) remains controversial. We, therefore, conducted this study to compare the effect of thrombolytic plus anticoagulation versus anticoagulation alone on early death and adverse outcome following submassive PTE. METHODS We conducted a study of patients with ...

Rationale: Left bundle branch block is a diagnostic utility for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction equivalent. Consequently, administration of thrombolytic pivotal step. Emergent Sgarbosa criteria and their modification are considered helpful guide keys. Wavy triple an electrocardiographic sign (Yasser Sign) novel in hypocalcemia. Interestingly, the presentation COVID-19 pneumonia with ...

OBJECTIVE Intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy for carotid and vertebrobasilar stroke may result in a more rapid clot lysis and higher recanalization rates than can be achieved with intravenous thrombolysis and thus may warrant the more invasive and time-consuming therapeutic approach. We present an overview of all hitherto completed trials of intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy for carotid and ...

OBJECTIVE Electrocardiography (ECG) may be a practical guiding tool for prognostic infarct sizing in ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI). In this study, we sought to find a relation between the infarct size and the change in the QRS axis after thrombolytic therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with STEAMI who received thrombolytic therapy were selected retrospectively. The mea...

The medicinal value of earthworm has been widely known since the history of Asian ancient medicine. This present study aims to determine the mechanism of action and effect of a standardized extract of Lumbricus rubellus named as DLBS1033. The fibrinogen degradation, antiplatelet aggregation, and ex vivo antithrombotic assay using human blood were performed to study antithrombotic activity. Fibr...

OBJECTIVE To pool data on the role of thrombolytic agents in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and evaluate the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical studies in MEDLINE database from 1966 to August 2004 that studied the efficacy and safety in CPR with and without treatment with thrombolytic agents were assessed by a meta-analysis performed to evaluate the e...

Currently a new version of the distance education platform WeLearn [3] to be combined with an agent system ([1], also developed locally) for providing advanced services [2] is under development. In a previous stage of the project software was created to automatically derive keywords from documents, either from the different versions of metadata already contained (various Microsoft file formats,...

As our ability to store information increases, the mechanisms we employ to access that information become ever more important. In this paper, we present Archosum, a prototype of an organizational system that attempts to encapsulate the benefits of both hierarchical and keyword systems. By introducing abstract entities, Archosum provides a simple interface with which users can build and maintain...

The major factor influencing the outcome of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction is the " door to needle " time. For every hour that thrombolytic treatment is delayed after the onset of symptoms, 1.6 lives are lost per 1000 patients treated. 1 In many institutions the door to needle time exceeds one hour. Various attempts have been made to reduce unacceptable treatment delays. T...

BACKGROUND Thrombolytic therapy should only be used when expected benefits outweigh the risks. In order to obtain a precise estimation of prognosis, with and without thrombolytic therapy, we postulated that mortality reduction by thrombolytic therapy is a function of the area of myocardium at risk for necrosis. We developed a model to estimate the myocardial area at risk for necrosis from clini...
