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 ...

conclusions invasive treatment of dialysis patients for cvc related complications is effective and durable during mid-term follow up with no re-intervention, clinical episode of vte or death. cta is a reliable mean for the diagnosis of cvc related complications. methods this is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of dialysis patients treated for cvc-related complications an...

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...

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...

pulmonary thromboembolism (pte) has a wide spectrum of presentations, and its c ardinal manifestations include chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope. syncope as an initial presentation of pte occurs in 10-14% of patients and is not restricted to massive ptes. it can also occur in the setting of non- massive cases probably due to a vasovagal mechanism or the occurrence of conduction disturbances in p...

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 ...

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...

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...
