Fibrinolysis: Biochemistry, Clinical Aspects, and Therapeutic Potential

Fibrinolysis: Biochemistry, Clinical Aspects, and Therapeutic Potential.

The fibrinolytic system is responsible for physiological lysis of hemostatic plugs once vascular integrity has been restored after injury. The formation and regulation of plasmin proceeds in a very similar way to the formation and regulation of thrombin in the coagulation cascade.1 Complex regulatory pathways, which include cell surfaces, the fibrin surface, the structure of the fibrin clot, an...

Ocular Lymphoma: Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Aspects

Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...

Basic and clinical aspects of fibrinolysis and thrombolysis.

Giardiasis: clinical and therapeutic aspects.

Malabsorption was present in 29 of 40 symptomatic patients with giardiasis. Twenty-three had impaired D-xylose absorption; in 20 vitamin B12 absorption was low, and 15 patients had steatorrhoea. More severe malabsorption was associated with more marked histological abnormalities. Metronidazole, 2-0 g as a single daily dose on three successive days, produced a parasitological cure rate of 91%. I...
