BACKGROUND In some but not all studies, men with venous thrombosis had a higher risk of recurrence than women. Information on women with initial hormone-related thrombosis is scant. OBJECTIVE We assessed the incidence of recurrent thrombosis by gender, and among women using exogenous hormones or pregnant/postpartum at the time of index thrombosis. PATIENTS/METHODS A total of 508 men and wom...

Venous thrombosis which mainly manifests as deep vein thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism occurs in 1 per 1000 per year. It occurs due to interacting genetic, environmental and behavioral risk factors. The strongest risk factors are certain types of surgery and malignancies. Over the last decade many new risk factors for venous thrombosis have been identified. Venous thrombosis has a hi...

The association between air travel and deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism "economy-class syndrome" is well described. However, this syndrome does not describe any association between long duration travel and arterial thrombosis or coexistence of venous and arterial thrombosis. We present a case of concomitant deep venous thrombosis, acute femoral artery thrombosis, and bilateral p...

Stent thrombosis is rare but can lead to potential severe consequence. The incidence is relative higher in drug-eluting sent than bare-metal stent implantation. Dual antiplatelet therapy is the major treatment to avoid early and late stent thrombosis. Simultaneous two stents thrombosis is rare. Although mechanical or/and procedure factors may predispose to stent thrombosis occurred, simultaneou...

Nephrotic syndrome is a glomerular disease commonly seen in paediatric population. The characterized by hypercoagulable state and risk of thromboembolic complications. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) rare complication children associated with nephrotic an incidence 0.67/100000 very few case reports described. 12-year-old girl steroid dependent syndrome- minimal change disease, background recen...

background: hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is a primary liver cancer that frequently causes mortalities. transarterial chemoembolization (tace) is a new palliative treatment for advanced stages of hcc. in this study, we have assessed the results of tace on a group of iranian patients with advanced hcc treated at imam khomeini general hospital. materials and methods: this was a case series, coho...

introduction : activated protein c (apc) inactivates factor v by cleavage of its heavy chain at arg306, arg506, arg679, and lys994. mutational changes, which abolish apc cleavage sites, may predispose thrombosis by altering the inactivation process of factor v.  factor v leiden (arg506glu) has been demonstrated as a strong risk factor for thrombosis. in the current study, we have studied whethe...

introduction septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (cst) is a rare condition that can result in high mortality and morbidity rates if not treated immediately. cst may be aseptic or septic. less common primary sites of infection include the tonsils, soft palate, middle ear, and orbit. reported cases of middle ear infection are very rare, and response to treatment is poor. conclusions findings of lab...

heparin- induced thrombocytopenia (hit) is an antibody mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy which is classified into two subtypes, hit i which is non-immune, spontaneously reversible thrombocytopenia and; hit ii which is an autoimmune-mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy. in this case report, we described a 65-year old male patient with hit ii after coronary artery bypass grafting. ...
