background deep vein thrombosis (dvt) is a well-recognized complication in patients with cancer. chemotherapy and cancer surgery increase the risk of dvt in these patients. there are a few reports about the prevalence of dvt in patients with cancer regarding different managing modalities. objectives this study aimed to assess the prevalence of dvt in patients with cancer, who were hospitalized ...

BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major cause of pulmonary thromboembolism and sudden death. Thus, it is important to consider the pathophysiology of DVT. Recently, iron has been reported to be associated with thrombotic diseases. Hence, in this study, we investigate the effects of dietary iron restriction on the process of thrombus resolution in a rat model of DVT. METHODS We induce...

background: deep vein thrombosis (dvt) can be an ethnicity related disease and an important health issue for health-care systems. thus, domestic recognition of risk factors and disease characteristics seem to be inevitable. this study was designed to evaluate the epidemiology, basic characteristics, and risk factors in patients with dvt. materials and methods: in this descriptive cross-sectiona...

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are a common adjunct to hemophilia therapy, but the risk of CVC-related deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in hemophiliacs is not well defined. In a previous study, 13 patients with CVCs had no radiographic evidence of DVT. However, recent abstracts and case studies demonstrate that DVT does occur. Therefore, this study sought to determine the frequency of DVT in child...

After a first episode of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 30-50% of the patients will develop complaints suspect of recurrent DVT. Of these patients, only 20-30% do indeed have a recurrent episode of DVT. To identify patients with a true recurrent DVT, objective testing is mandatory in every patients. However, all the available tests have their limitations in patients with recurrent DVT. In this rev...

patients and methods using current procedural terminology (cpt) codes for orthopaedic trauma procedures, we identified a prospective cohort of patients from the 2006 to 2013 acs-nsqip database. using wilcoxon-mann-whitney and chi-square tests where appropriate, patient demographics, comorbidities, and operative factors were compared between patients who developed a dvt within 30 days of surgery...

large vessel involvement is one of the hallmarks of behcet’s disease (bd) but its prevalence varies widely due to ethnic variation or environmental factors. the aim of this study is to find the characteristics of vasculo-behcet (vb) in iran. in a cohort of 4769 patients with bd, those with vascular involvement were selected. different manifestations of disease were compared with the remaining g...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study aimed to assess preoperative risk factors for the incidence of deep venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). METHODS The diagnosis of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography. To examine the preoperative risk factors for DVT admitted for PLIF, comparative analysis of the...

BACKGROUND Because reported survival after venous thromboembolism (VTE) varies widely, we performed a population-based retrospective cohort study to estimate survival, compare observed with expected survival, and determine predictors of short-term (< or =7 days) and long-term survival (>7 days) after VTE. METHODS We followed the 25-year (1966-1990) inception cohort (n = 2218) of Olmsted Count...
