Do circulating tumor cells play a role in coagulation and thrombosis?
Cancer induces a hypercoagulable state, and patients with cancer who suffer a thrombotic event have a worse prognosis than those who do not. Recurrent pathologic thrombi in patients with cancer are clinically managed with anticoagulant medications; however, anticoagulant prophylaxis is not routinely prescribed owing to a complex variety of patient and diagnosis related factors. Early identifica...
متن کاملUrolithiasis – do ureaplasmas play a role in etiology.
Background and Objective: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by urease-producing organisms, including ureaplasmas may contribute to the formation of urolithiasis. We aimed to determine the frequency of U. parvum and U. urealyticum among urology hospital patients with urinary stones. Methods: The study group included 30 men with urolithiasis.

متن کاملBehçet’s Disease: Do Natural Killer Cells Play a Significant Role?
Behçet's disease (BD) is a complex inflammatory disease, of unknown etiology. While disease pathogenesis remains unclear, a strong relationship between BD and HLA-B*51 has been established over the last 30 years. A number of theories exist regarding the cause of BD; however, few are able to account for the increased rates of HLA-B*51 positive individuals, particularly around the Mediterranean b...
متن کاملRole of tissue factor in thrombosis. Coagulation-inflammation-thrombosis circuit.
Tissue factor (TF) plays a role in thrombogenesis. TF initiates blood coagulation resulting in the generation of protease coagulant mediators (FVIIa, FXa, and FIIa) and fibrin production. TF hypercoagulablility directly contributes to thrombus formation resulting from the major events of fibrin deposition and FIIa-induced platelet activation/aggregation. In addition, blood coagulation indirectl...
متن کاملWhat role do coagulation disorders play in the pathogenesis of leptospirosis?
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, spread by the urine of infected animals. It is a major public health problem, especially in developing countries, where circumstances for transmission are most favourable. The clinical picture varies from mild disease to a severe illness with haemostatic derangements and multiorgan failure eventually leading to death. Although the haemorrha...
