Lupus anticoagulant was found in the plasma of 4 patients who presented with late-onset epileptic seizures. Three of the patients had clinical or electroencephalographic evidence of focality. No significant cerebral pathological findings were detected by the computed tomogram except for an old
Thrombin is a serine protease playing an essential role in the blood coagulation cascade. Recent work, however, has identified a novel role for thrombin-mediated signaling pathways in the central nervous system. Binding of thrombin to protease-activated receptors (PARs) in the brain appears to have
The relationship between lupus anticoagulants and antibodies directed against negatively charged phospholipids, as measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, was explored in a series of plasma samples from 100 patients with well-characterized lupus anticoagulants. Only 73% of the patients had
We have identified an inhibitor of the protein C anticoagulant pathway in the plasma of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of recurrent deep vein thrombosis, fetal wastage, and seizures. The patient's plasma contained anticardiolipin antibodies as well as a weak lupus
We identified 100 patients (51 males and 49 females) as having the lupus anticoagulant. The following diagnoses were found in the patient population: human immunodeficiency virus positivity, 20%; systemic lupus erythematosus, 10%; prolonged preoperative activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),
Use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), including dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban or betrixaban provides a safe and convenient alternative to the traditional anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists or heparin derivatives. Many patients receiving
Anticoagulant rodenticides are the largest group of poisons used to kill harmful rodents. Their fundamental mode of action consists in the inhibition of the vitamin K epoxide reductase, which causes blood-clotting alteration, ultimately leading to hemorrhagic events as the cause of death. In this
The safety of ECT in patients receiving anticoagulants is reviewed. In patients who failed to respond to drug therapy and in some whose cardiovascular conditions precluded the use of antidepressant drugs, the authors successfully carried out five courses of ECT in depressed patients maintained on
A 46-year-old male with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy was admitted to the neurological department for convulsive seizures just after lamotrigine was discontinued. On admission he was awake but had a right-sided hemiparesis with Babinski sign and ataxic finger-nose test on the left side. An MR scan
A 29-year-old man with ulcerative colitis was admitted to our hospital because of convulsions and a headache. Before admission, oral prednisolone had been administered due to his ulcerative colitis relapse. Computed tomography revealed a low-density area in the right frontal pole suggestive of a
We present the unusual case of 16-year-old girl who developed intractable convulsions five days after the onset of a cold. Meningeal signs, lymphopenia, proteinuria, and lupus anticoagulant were also present. Treatment with anticonvulsants, antituberculous agents, and adenine arabinoside were
Seven neonates who presented with either lethargy (four infants) or seizures (three infants) were found by magnetic resonance (MR) phase imaging to have idiopathic cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Examination showed only hypotonia or hyperreflexia. The presence of CVT was suggested by unenhanced
Lupus anticoagulant associated with thrombocytopenia, thrombosis or recurrent abortions was diagnosed in 2 epileptic patients chronically treated with anticonvulsant drugs. The immunoglobulin fractions containing the anticoagulant activity were isolated and characterized. A search for lupus
Background: Exposures to bromethalin rodenticides have increased since restrictions were placed on long acting anticoagulant rodenticide (LAAR) registrations in 2008. Bromethalin works, in part, by uncoupling mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Toxicity in humans is not well
