Routine chemoprophylaxis for travel-associated thrombosis? No.

• Travel and thrombosis are associated. Four case-control studies [1-4] and five cohort and randomized controlled studies [5-9] have clearly established that thrombosis is associated with travel. In the four case-control studies, 11.8% of patients with venous thromboembolism had a history of recent travel, by air or other means of transportation, compared to 6.3% of controls with an odds ratio ...

Perioperative fluorocholangiography with routine indication versus selective indication in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Therapeutic angiogenesis: new indication for endothelial NO synthase gene transfer.

Evidence continues to accumulate on the importance of NO in angiogenesis.1–7 A number of angiogenic substances, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), stimulate production of NO in endothelial cells.8,9 In vivo biosynthesis of NO is essential for angiogenesis induced by tissue ischemia.3 Angiogenesis is severely impaired in ischemic hindlimb of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)defici...

No indication of Coxiella burnetii infection in Norwegian farmed ruminants

Recognising the increasing prevalence of the infection in neighbouring countries, the aim of the study was to perform a survey of Norwegian farmed ruminants for the prevalence of C. burnetii infection.
