Enoxaparin is a low-molecular-weight heparin used in the prevention and treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism and other thrombotic disorders. The most common adverse reactions to enoxaparin are ecchymosis, skin necrosis, urticaria, angioedema, and eczema. The first 2 cases of bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis in areas distant from heparin injection sites were described in 2006. We present the cas...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence and to establish which factors were associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic complications in an historic cohort of 117 consecutive and unselected patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Sixty-eight patients (58%) underwent medical treatment and/or splenectomy and 33 (48% of treated) achieved a complete sta...

BACKGROUND Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is characterized by angiodysplastic lesions. So far, knowledge is limited on the vascular architecture and rate of occult manifestation of telangiectases. Contact endoscopy has not been used for this task before. METHODS Eleven patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia were examined with contact endoscopy to identify occult telangiect...

BACKGROUND Vascular complications following laparoscopic techniques may often be attributed to the incomplete control of bleeding sites at laparoscopy. When confronted with post-laparoscopy symptoms of hemodynamic insufficiency, the surgeon may infer the existence of hemorrhagic complications neglected at the laparoscopic session. METHODS The author reviewed two otherwise normal cases of lapa...

Surgical decompression of osteomyelitis in pediatric patients should be an essential part of therapy in most cases. The initial deferral of prompt decompression in two patients because of underlying chronic, hemorrhagic (thrombocytopenic) disorders-one with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and one with Gaucher's disease-resulted in more serious and prolonged courses of the infectious processes. The com...

OBJECTIVE The main goal was to explore the different toxin properties (proteolytic, hemorrhagic, and neurotoxic) of Leptodeira annulata ashmeadii Duvernoy's gland secretion (DGS). METHODS To separate and characterize the different proteins present in L. annulata ashmeadii DGS, 20% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was run. To partially purify the proteolytic...

severe thrombocytopenia with bleeding is rarely reported in children with brucellosis, and recurrent epistaxis is extremely rare. brucellosis with hemorrhage should be differentiated from viral hemorrhagic fever, malignancy, and other blood disorders. bone marrow aspiration (bma) is mandatory to differentiate from other blood diseases. an 8-year-old boy was admitted with recurrent epistaxis, pe...

OBJECTIVE To estimate seroprevalence of antibodies against the serogroup of epizootic hemorrhagic disease viruses (EHDVs) and describe spatial distribution of antibodies against EHDV among cattle herds in Illinois and western Indiana. SAMPLE POPULATION 9,414 serum samples collected from cattle in 60 herds over 3 transmission seasons. PROCEDURES Serum samples were tested for antibodies again...

1029-1032. 1g5g.-The effectiveness of levarterenol in the treatment of shock resulting from prolonged oligemia was studied in the dog. The survival time of animals receiving levarterenol and whole blood therapy was significantly greater than that of animals receiving a placebo and whole blood. The results of the experiments indicate that levarterenol is an effective adjunct to whole blood thera...
