Abstract
The JAK2(V617F)mutation is recurrent in polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, which are myeloproliferative neoplasms frequently associated with arterial and venous thromboembolism. It has also been reported as a marker for occult myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) in patients with splanchn...

Abstract
The study was stopped prematurely after 50 of a planned 167 patients were enrolled when a scheduled interim analysis detected a venous thrombosis rate that was considered unacceptably high by the study oversight committee (thrombosis was symptomatic in 20% of patients [10 of 50]). Venous thrombosis...

Abstract
Previous meta-analyses suggest that treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk for death. Additional randomized trials have been recently completed.
To summarize the effects of ESA treatment on clinical outcomes in patients with anemia...

Abstract
Patients with chronic liver disease are susceptible to bleeding and thrombotic complications of their disease, but the incidence of thrombosis and what predisposes them to thrombotic disease is largely unknown.

Abstract
The risk of recurrent CSVT is low and is higher in the first year after discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment and among men. Mild thrombophilia abnormalities are not associated with recurrent CSVT, but severe thrombophilia entails an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs or...

Abstract
A 75-year-old woman with thrombocythemia underwent distal gastrectomy. Preoperative platelet count was 103 x 10(4) x mm(-1). General anesthesia was given and heparin 20 units x kg(-1) was administered intravenously for prevention of deep vein thrombosis. Operation was finished uneventfully. On the n...

Abstract
Our findings suggest that JAK2V617F occurs in a high proportion of patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis, and reinforces the diagnostic utility of JAK2V617F testing in this setting....
