The aim of this study was to investigate prospectively the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after surgery for morbid obesity. The series comprised 116 consecutive patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The median age and body mass index were 35 years (range 19-59 years) and 42 kg/m2

Evidence suggests that isolated intracranial hypertension (iIH) is often associated with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). In eight patients referred to our Institution for iIH who were later shown to harbor CVT we have performed a comprehensive coagulation work-up, including genetic tests for

Effect of leptin in platelet and endothelial cells. Obesity and arterial thrombosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We demonstrated that leptin showed effects on both platelets and endothelial cells through its functional receptor. These effects are the vector to inducing thrombotic tendency. Leptin concentrations used in our experiments correspond to that of leptin in the circulation of obese individuals. Thus

We report the case of a morbidly obese 49-year-old female found to have a 16×14×10 cm high grade myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh initially diagnosed as a hematoma. Recent initiation of rivaroxaban for a coincident ipsilateral popliteal vein thrombosis placed hematoma high in the differential

[Thrombosis of the cerebral venous sinuses in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in young obese females: is it a real problem?].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IICH) typically presents in young women with obesity or a recent weight increase. The differential diagnosis of IICH includes thrombosis of the cerebral venous sinuses (TCVS), which can also present as an isolated intracranial hypertension syndrome.
