BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common and severe complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Inflammation has been proved to play a role in DVT. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are biomarkers for systemic inflammation. The aim of the study is to investigate the predictive value of NLR and PLR for acute TJA-induced DVT. METHOD...

introduction: deep vein thrombosis (dvt) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care unit (icu) patients despite use of prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of dvt among medical and surgical icu patients. methods: in this cross sectional study, patients older than 18 years who were hospitalized in the icu of imam hosse...

Accurate diagnostic assessment of suspected ipsilateral recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major clinical challenge because differentiating between acute recurrent thrombosis and residual thrombosis is difficult with compression ultrasonography (CUS). We evaluated noninvasive magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging (MRDTI) in a prospective study of 39 patients with symptomatic recurre...

Paget-Schroetter Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the thrombosis of axillary and/or subclavian vein due to repetitive activity upper extremity. This effect results in exertion-induced deep venous (DVT) In literature, it has been reported more frequently among adult population. We aimed introduce 15-year-old female patient who suffered an acute DVT left extremity, and her successful...

INTRODUCTION Mature circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) have been described in several conditions associated with endothelial injury. Their role in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has not been previously evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this pilot study we evaluated the time course of CEC and EPC release after vena cava experimental DVT in mice,...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis is underutilized, and there is a paucity of data reflecting the incidence of DVT in Indian Intensive Care Unit (ICU) population. We sought to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for DVT in medical and surgical ICU patients with DVT prophylaxis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ICU patients more than 18 years old, expected to be in the I...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary embolism (PE) remain significant causes of morbidity, mortality in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Since incidence of DVT after SCI in Korean population has not been much studied, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 185 SCI patients admitted for acute rehabilitation unit to investigate the incidence of DVT. Color Doppler...

Deep vein thrombophlebitis (DVT) and septic pulmonary emboli (PE) are rare in children. The association of DVT and acute disseminated staphylococcal disease (DSD) during childhood has not been previously reported. We report 3 children who developed a triad of DVT, septic PE, and acute osteomyelitis with Staphylococcus aureus cultured from blood and bone. One child succumbed, while 2 survived fo...

INTRODUCTION — Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are two manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE contributes to significant morbidity and mortality both in the community and in hospital. The mainstay of therapy for DVT is anticoagulation, provided there is no contraindication. Following initial anticoagulation, patients with DVT are anticoagulated further ...

deep vein thrombosis (dvt) is an important life threatening condition that is difficult to diagnose, particularly in the early stages. looking for dvt in lower limb can be considered ancillary in suspected cases of pulmonary embolism (pe) indirectly highlighting a cause and effect relationship of a single disease (i.e cause being dvt and effect is the assault on the lung vasculature). prompt an...
