normal hemostasis requires balanced regulation of prothrombotic and antithrombotic factors. inherited alteration of factor v and prothrombin gene, the g20210a mutation, increases the resistance of factor v to degradation and booster production of prothrombin respectively. these alterations can increase hypercoagulability leading to thrombotic consequences. we aimed to assess the frequencies of ...

TO THE EDITOR: Combined factor V and VIII deficiency, a rare autosomal recessive coagulopathy, was first defined by Oeri et al. in 1954 [1]. Although it is seen worldwide, Mediterranean countries have higher prevalence rates [2]. The presentation varies from mild to serious bleeding symptoms such as easy bruising, menorrhagia, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, intramuscular bleeding, and post-opera...

Patients with combined hyperlipemia have lipid abnormalities associated with an increased tendency to develop atherosclerosis and thrombosis. This tendency may be accelerated during postprandial hyperlipemia. In the present double-blind parallel study, 41 patients with combined hyperlipemia and serum triacylglycerols between 2.0 and 15.0 mmol/L and serum total cholesterol .5.3 mmol/L at the end...

conclusions the prevalence of both fv and fii variants are population based. iran is an ethnically diverse country. therefore, for a comprehensive analysis of a potential association of fv and/or fii mutations with stroke among iranian population, epidemiological studies could be conducted among different ethnic groups. patients and methods the study population consisted of 153 patients of diff...

Combined factor V and VIII deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with incidence of one in 10,00,000. We reported case seventy-one-year-old patient third degree uterovaginal prolapse, diagnosed as combined the successful perioperative management during vaginal hysterectomy. With our experience this, we conclude that for patient's correction should be given at least 2 weeks post opera...

The classification of factor VIII deficiency, generally used based on plasma levels of factor VIII, consists of severe (<1% normal factor VIII activity), moderate (1% to 4% factor VIII activity), or mild (5% to 25% factor VIII activity). A recent communication described four individuals bearing identical factor VIII mutations. This resulted in a severe bleeding disorder in two patients who carr...

PURPOSE To determine whether different coagulation-balance genetic polymorphisms explain the variable clinical outcomes of photodynamic therapy with verteporfin (PDT-V) in Caucasian patients with occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS The clinical records of consecutive patients with AMD-related occult CNV, treated with PDT-V...
