Provoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is traditionally considered a transient acute disorder requiring a limited duration of anticoagulant therapy. Patients who suffer deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) following major surgery, major trauma, or periods of immobility are generally
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)
Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and
Background of the Project including Preliminary Observations Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, complicate up to 10% of pregnancies worldwide, constituting one of the greatest causes of fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal mortality, and
1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a frequently occurring neurological disease of the elderly and common in daily neurosurgical practice. It consists of an extracerebral encapsulated collection of mostly liquefied old hematoma, located between the dura and arachnoid.
Research design This study is a double blind randomized clinical trial to determine differences in wave amplitude P50 and N95 on pattern ERG examination, visual field defects (LP) with Humphrey HFA (Humphrey Field Analyzer) II-i 750, 24-2 threshold and ganglion cell thickness with OCT CirrusTM
All consecutive patients who had their first-ever ischemic stroke symptoms within the previous month will be asked to enroll in the study. Baseline measurements will be assessed in all patients. Patients without language problems or life-threatening conditions will be asked to answer the structured
Background/Question: A significant number of children who present to the Emergency Department (ED) with headache or migraine undergo head imaging with Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, there is relatively low yield in imaging neurologically normal patients based
Anemia and transfusion are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in the cardiac surgical patient population. Even so, active preoperative anemia management is not currently the standard of care at our institution. Cost associated with erythrocyte transfusions at University of Texas
Migraine is prevalent in 10-12% of the population, with female preponderance (1). Migraine may cause a significant distress and reduction of the quality of life of the patients, of whom in almost a third of them the migraine attack reduces the ability to function. The main form of migraine is
1. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE:
Current obesity prevention emphasizes increasing physical activity and a low-fat, calorie restricted diet to produce a negative caloric balance. Caloric restriction is associated with decreases in energy expenditure. The other mainstay of obesity prevention increasing

2. Purpose of the Study:
In women undergoing ovulation
1. Purpose of the study: To determine whether low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) enoxaparin decreases the rate of maternal and perinatal composite morbidity in women who previously had a severe preeclampsia that occurred at less than 34 weeks' gestation.
2. Patients and methods: Multicenter,
Migraine is prevalent in 10-12% of the population, with female preponderance (1). Migraine may cause a significant distress and reduction of the quality of life of the patients, of whom in almost a third of them the migraine attack reduces the ability to function. The main form of migraine is
The peripheral blood has been established as a source of hematopoietic stem cells, providing an alternative source to bone marrow for hematopoietic reconstitution of patients with oncologic, hematologic, and genetic diseases. Although apheresis is less efficient than bone marrow harvesting for
