بررسی سطوح پلاسمایی محصولات تخریب فیبرینوژنFDP)) وD-dimer در بیماران سیروتیک با و بدون آسیت و ارتباط آن‌ها باMELD-score

    Received: 16 Oct, 2012 Accepted: 22 Dec, 2012      Background & Aims : Liver cirrhosis is associated with coagulation disorders due to decreased synthesis of clotting and inhibitor factors. It has been hypothesized that ascites plays an important role in hyperfibrinolytic state and increased risk of bleeding. We have studied the role of ascites in the hyper fibrinolytic state and relationsh...

Plasma Fibrinogen and D-dimer in Children With Sepsis: A Single-center Experience

Background & Objectives:  In sepsis, enhanced fibrin formation, impaired fibrin degradation, and intravascular fibrin deposition lead to a prothrombotic state. The current study aimed at measuring various coagulation parameters to predict an early marker for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods: The current prospective s...

The importance of the optimal volume in the treatment of locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma; brachytherapy or stereotactic radiotherapy?

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is commonly known as a radiosensitive tumor with the initial good response to radiation. Despite the improved outcome in loco regional control by the introduction of combining treatment, modern radiotherapy techniques and enhanced imaging studies, local recurrent after primary treatment with rate ranges from 15-58% in 5 years, stil...

A retrospective analysis of plasma D-dimer dynamic variation in terminal stage cancer patients: implications for disease progression.

Elevated D-dimer is frequently found among cancer patients especially for advanced stage patients. Activation of the coagulation system and the fibrinolytic cascade are supposed to be associated with higher risk of invasion, metastases and worse outcome. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic variation of plasma D-dimer and its relationship with other markers of the coagulation...
