international travel has become increasingly common and accessible, hence, about two billion passengers undertake international and domestic air travel each year. venous thromboembolism (vte) is a serious public health disorder which may occur following prolonged travel, especially after air travel. a direct relation between vte development and prolonged travels has been documented, while some ...

abstract:Acute Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease associated with the significant morbidity and mortality. We reviewed clinical outcomes systematically with Dabigatran as a direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) for treatment of acute VTE. We used Ovide, PubMed, Cochrane (CENTRAL), EMBASE, Scopus, Science Direct, LILAC(for article written not English) and also Iranian database; Magiran...

IMPORTANCE Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates are widely reported quality metrics soon to be used in pay-for-performance programs. Surveillance bias occurs when some clinicians use imaging studies to detect VTE more frequently than other clinicians. Because they look more, they find more VTE events, paradoxically worsening their hospital's VTE quality measure performance. A survei...

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in about 5 percent of patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries. Prophylaxis of VTE is recommended using unfractionated heparin (UF) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in high-risk patients. In spite of advantages and confirmed cost-effectiveness of LMWH, high costs of enoxaparin branded preparations limit its use. We aimed to compare the efficacy and...

BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) clusters in families, but the familial risk of VTE has not been determined among adoptees. The aim was to disentangle the contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the familial transmission of VTE. METHODS AND RESULTS The Swedish Multi-Generation Register was used to follow all Swedish-born adoptees born from 1932 to 2004 (n=80,214) between ...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To better understand the experience of venous thromboembolism (VTE) from the points of view of patients with cancer during various stages of the cancer experience. RESEARCH APPROACH Qualitative, descriptive. SETTING Various inpatient and outpatient units of a large urban university-affiliated hospital in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. PARTICIPANTS Purposive sample of 10 part...

The clinical relevance of antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) in patients without systemic lupus erythematosus who have venous thromboembolism (VTE) in unknown. Limited evidence suggests that there is an association between the presence of APLA and both initial and recurrent episodes of VTE and that patients with APLA and VTE are resistant to warfarin therapy. Unselected patients with a first ep...
