Adhesiveness of Blood Platelets in Arteriosclerosis Obliterans, Thromboangiitis Obliterans, Acute Thrombophlebitis, Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease

Adhesiveness of blood platelets in arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboangiitis obliterans, acute thrombophlebitis, chronic venous insufficiency and arteriosclerotic heart disease.

Blood zinc levels in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboangiitis obliterans and Takayasu's disease.

Serum zinc concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 30 normal males, 17 normal females, 20 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans, 26 patients with thromboangiitis obliterans, 40 patients with Takayasu's disease. The mean serum zinc concentration was 93.9 +/- S.E.4.0 mug/100 ml in the normal male controls, 75.1 +/- 3.3 mug/100 ml in patients with arteriosclerosis ...

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease)

Thromboangiitis Obliterans is a non-atherosclerotic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, which has a strong association with tobacco. We present current concepts on the pathophysiology and diagnosis, as well as a review in treatments.

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease)

Thromboangiitis obliterans or Buerger's disease is a segmental occlusive inflammatory condition of arteries and veins, characterized by thrombosis and recanalization of the affected vessels. It is a non-atherosclerotic inflammatory disease affecting small and medium sized arteries and veins of upper and lower extremities. The clinical criteria include: age under 45 years; current or recent hist...
