Swine flue is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease caused by a subtype of influenza A virus. Herein we present three patients with H1N1 infection complicated with pulmonary thromboembolism. The patients had chest pain and unexplained dyspnea. Imaging studies showed bilateral hilar predominance. Computed tomographic angiography confirmed bilateral thromboembolism (an unusual presentatio...

international travel has become increasingly common and accessible, hence, about two billion passengers undertake international and domestic air travel each year. venous thromboembolism (vte) is a serious public health disorder which may occur following prolonged travel, especially after air travel. a direct relation between vte development and prolonged travels has been documented, while some ...

atrial fibrillation (af) is a commonly encountered arrhythmia in our daily practice. every year a huge bulk of data is published about different management strategies, new antiarrhythmic drugs, anticoagulation protocols and ablation procedures in these patients. in this review article, we discuss different management strategies and new antiarrhythmic drugs as well as those commonly used. we wil...

the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and incidence of venous thromboembolism among critically ill medical surgical patients. in this cross sectional and retrospective study, we observed 243 patients who were first admitted at the intensive care unit. patients who were diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis or embolism either by clinical or paraclinical methods were enrolle...

results the incidence of diagnosed thrombo-embolic complication was 32 of 1,153 admitted patients (2.8%; 95% confidence interval: 1.9 to 3.9) with a median interval of 14 days after anti-tb treatment initiation. the incidence of dvt and pte was 2% and 1%, respectively. thrombo-embolic events and dvt were more common in men than in women: 4.2% versus 1.3% (p = 0.003) and 3.5% versus 0.4%, respec...

introduction: several lines of evidence suggest that the factor xiii (fxiii) 100 g/t polymorphism may influence susceptibility to deep venous thromboembolism (dvt). to explore this hypothesis, we investigated whether this polymorphism is associated with the predisposition to dvt. we also predict the possible impact of residue substitution at codons 34 (val34leu) in a subunits of the fxiii coagu...

thrombophilia increases the incidence of pulmonary thrombosis significantly. various hereditary and acquired factors are known for thromboembolism. the hereditary factors are two common genetic autosomal mutations including factor v leidan mutation and prothrombin gene mutation. a descriptive- analytical design was conducted on 60 patients with thromboembolism who met the inclusion criteria. tw...
