BACKGROUND
Anticoagulants, e.g. low-molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) are prescribed to women at risk for pregnancy complications that are associated with impaired placentation and placental hypoxia. Beyond their role as anticoagulants these compounds exhibit direct
Exposure of the vessel wall to hypoxemia is a central feature of ischemic cardiovascular disease. This led us to examine the perturbation of endothelial cell properties under hypoxia. An atmosphere of pO2 of 12 mmHg is not lethal to the endothelial cells for up to five days, but barrier function was
Obstructive sleep apnoea is a risk factor for pulmonary embolism. Elevated D-dimer levels and other biomarkers are associated with recurrent pulmonary embolism. The objectives were to compare the frequency of elevated D-dimer levels (>500 ng·mL(-1)) and further coagulation biomarkers after oral
Although oxygen deprivation has long been associated with triggering of the procoagulant pathway and venous thrombosis, blood hypoxemia and stasis by themselves do not lead to fibrin formation. A pathway is outlined through which diminished levels of oxygen activate the transcription factor early
In response to hypoxia, an inflammatory cascade is initiated and microvascular injury ensues. Specifically, within 10 min, leukocyte adherence to the endothelium begins, and leukocyte emigration and vascular leak soon follow. Activated protein C (APC) has been reported to have both anticoagulant and
As the cells forming the luminal vascular surface, endothelium is exposed to alterations in the vascular microenvironment, such as hypoxaemia. In this report we demonstrate that hypoxia, with pO2 as low as 12-14 mmHg, was not toxic to endothelium, but reversibly modulated central cellular functions
Nontraumatic spontaneous rupture of a bronchial artery aneurysm is rarely seen. In this report, we described such a phenomenon in a patient induced by usage of anticoagulant agent. The patient had no antecedent history of trauma, hypertension, or apparent aortic pathology. The patient who had been
A patient was born with transposition of the great arteries, double-outlet right ventricle, interrupted aortic arch, and a ventricular septal defect and underwent a Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure with a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt at 14 days old. Three months later, this patient presented with
In bovine aortic or capillary endothelial cells (ECs) incubated under hypoxic conditions, cell growth was slowed in a dose-dependent manner at lower oxygen concentrations, as progression into S phase from G1 was inhibited, concomitant with decreased thymidine kinase activity. Monolayers grown to
Patients suffering from tissue ischemia, who would greatly benefit from angiogenesis-promoting therapies such as hypoxia preconditioned blood-derived secretomes commonly receive oral anticoagulation (OA) and/or have diabetes mellitus (DM). In this study, we investigated the effect of OA
Critically ill hypoxemic patients without significant radiological changes on the chest x-ray present a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Three patients with patent foramen ovale and a patient with a spontaneously closed congenital ventricular septal defect which reopened due to ischemic changes
OBJECTIVE
Coagulation activation is an integral part of sepsis pathogenesis. Experimental data suggest that endothelial exposure to hypoxia activates coagulation. We aimed to test the hypothesis that the quantity of exposure to global tissue hypoxia is associated with the degree of coagulation
Hypoxemia is a relatively common complication in the immediate postoperative period after cardiac surgery under cardio-pulmonary bypass, usually due to pulmonary disease. When this does not improve with oxygen therapy and in the absence of pulmonary disease, it may be due to a right-to-left shunt.
Intrapulmonary occult bleeding is a serious complication of anticoagulants. Diagnostic difficulties are such that this complication is rarely described: 8 cases in the literature. The authors report two new cases. In both of these patients oral anticoagulant therapy resulted in a severe haemorrhagic
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in intensive care patients.
METHODS
Comparative study.
METHODS
A 10-bed general intensive care unit.
METHODS
Between 1 January 1992 and 31 May 1993, 61 patients prospectively identified with
