Neurologic manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not precisely estimated. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) is rare and only 1.6% of total CVTs are associated with IBD [1-5]. CVT occurs in only 1.3-6.4% of adults and 3.3% of children with IBD [2-5]. A 44-year-old female presented to the emergency department with fever of up to 38 ̊C, abdominal pain and hemorrhagic diarrhea....

A pregnant woman with inherited thrombophilia (factor II mutation--20210A) had two late pregnancy losses. The first pregnancy was not well documented, but the second pregnancy was complicated by fetal thrombophilia and umbilical artery thrombosis, proven after fetal death. During the third pregnancy enoxaparine was introduced in the therapy and early amniocentesis was performed. Fetal thromboph...

Monitoring of anti-Xa activity (aXa) levels is not routinely required in patients receiving enoxaparine at prophylactic dosages, since aXa is supposed to stay below the manufacturer's recommended range in patients treated for venous thrombosis (0.5-1 IU/ml). In order to aXa in elderly subjects receiving prophylactic enoxaparin, 68 consecutive patients (mean age 82.5 +/- 10.7 years) hospitalized...

UNLABELLED Heparin and enoxaparin possess anti-inflammatory properties. We compared the effects of these drugs on inflammatory biomarkers in patients with ST-segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Thirty four patients with STEMI randomly separated in two groups and received standard doses of heparin and enoxaparin. The serum concentration of Serum Amyloid A (SAA), C-Reactive Protein (C...

Delayed onset low molecular weight heparin induced skin necrosis is a rare adverse event. It usually occurs at the site of injection, and typically develops within 2 weeks starting therapy. However, in our case, we presented 62-year-old woman who on Hemodialysis twice week. Her hemodialysis prescription included Enoxaparine 0.2 cc IV as anticoagulant. On her third month regular hemodialysis, sh...

A 74-year-old male patient was admitted to our emergency department with post-MI angina. On account of the anginal complaint that continued for three days, a coronary artery angiography was undertaken. A percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed, followed by the implantation of a coronary stent, and coronary perfusion (TIMI-3) was achieved in the left anterior descending arte...
