Abstract
Upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis is less common than lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis. However, upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis is associated with similar adverse consequences and is becoming more common in patients with complex medical conditions requiring central venous catheters...

Abstract
We investigated the antithrombotic effects of proanthocyanidins in a rat model of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and examined the underlying mechanisms.
DVT was induced in rat model by inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation. Grape seed proanthocyanidins extract (GSPE, 400 mg/kg/d) dissolved i...

Abstract
We hypothesized that trauma surgeons have varying opinions regarding duplex ultrasound screening for DVT in asymptomatic trauma patients, which result in varying practice patterns.
We conducted two web-based surveys regarding the use of duplex ultrasound screening for DVT in asymptomatic trauma pati...

Abstract
Graduated compression stockings are widely used for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis. Although below-knee stockings are used more often than thigh-length stockings, no reliable evidence indicates that they are as effective as thigh-length stockings.
To compare the effectiveness of thigh-leng...

Abstract
Androgen-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer (PC) is usually sensitive to docetaxel chemotherapy. Nevertheless, docetaxel resistance frequently appears after several cycles of treatment, raising the problem of salvage treatment for docetaxel-resistant PC patients. Although the combina...

Abstract
One option for using organs from donors with a suboptimal nephron mass, e.g. expanded criteria donors (ECD) kidneys, is dual kidney transplantation (DKT). In adult recipients, DKT can be carried out by several techniques, but the unilateral placement of both kidneys (UDKT) offers the advantages of s...

The association between total hip arthroplasty and subsequent postoperative deep venous thrombosis is of particular concern because it can lead to symptomatic venous thromboembolic events. However, controversy remains about the optimal approach to prophylaxis. Some authors recommend the use of vario...

Venous thromboembolism remains the most common cause of hospital readmission and death after total joint arthroplasty.

Activated protein C resistance (APC-R) because of clotting factor V Leiden mutation (FVL; Arg506Gln; G1691A) is a risk factor for the development of venous thromboembolic disorders (VTE). APC-R/FVL was reported to be very high in White patients with VTE (15% to 65%) and healthy populations (1% to 15...

We hypothesised that factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors would interfere more gradually with this feedback activation loop than thrombin inhibitors, thereby achieving a better balance between haemostasis and prevention of thrombosis. In this study, we compared the effects of TAK-442, a novel FXa inhibitor, v...
