thrombophilia/vomiting

Venous thrombophilia is the result of clotting changes namely of a hypercoagulable state together with blood flow and vessel wall changes. There is no need for all these components to be present in order for thrombosis to occur. As the matter of fact, thrombosis may occur even if only one of these

A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain since four days. She used anticoagulant drugs because of venous thromboembolism. Echography of the abdomen revealed a subcapsular hematoma of the liver. The patient recovered after

Hereditary hypercoagulability has been identified as risk factor in approximately 30% of cerebral venous thrombosis cases. We report three females with this association. A 38 years old female with a history of deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb, presented with headache, vomiting and a

BACKGROUND Herein, we present a case of seemingly unprovoked portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurring in the context of an acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and prolonged debilitating fatigue. UNASSIGNED A 46-year-old male airline pilot presented with a 2 week history of abdominal pain, nausea,

Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®), an oral oxazolidinone-based anticoagulant, is a potent, selective, direct inhibitor of factor Xa that is used in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients after total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. In large, clinical

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have proven efficacy and safety and are approved for use in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and those with atrial fibrillation (AF). There is no clear guidance on the use of DOACs in the

BACKGROUND Hospitalized patients with cancer have a high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). OBJECTIVE To study the frequency of VTE and its risk factors in hospitalized patients with cancer. METHODS Retrospective analysis of clinical records of patients with cancer, hospitalized at a university

BACKGROUND There are few data describing the relationship between amount of perioperative fluid and organ function. In this study we investigated the effects of two levels of intravascular fluid administration ("liberal" versus "restrictive") in knee arthroplasty on physiological recovery as the

An increased risk of venous thromboembolism has been demonstrated following renal transplantation. Commonly reported sites have been deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism and vascular thrombosis involving the graft. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has not been reported in literature so

We report the case of a previously healthy 32-year-old man presenting with severe headache on 2 separate expeditions to Cho Oyu (8201 m). No brain imaging was performed after the first expedition. On the second expedition, thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus was detected. Investigations for

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is ovarian enlargement secondary to hormones overstimulating ovarian growth. It can be associated with a spectrum of other clinical findings, including ascites, hemoconcentration, hypercoagulability, and electrolyte imbalances. OHSS most commonly occurs as a

BACKGROUND Follicular B cell lymphomas account for a significant portion of all newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. While involvement can be varied, the most common extranodal presentation is within the gastrointestinal tract beyond the stomach. In addition, the stomach has a diffuse

An inherited or acquired deficiency of protein S leads to a prothrombotic state, with predisposition to venous thrombosis. We describe a case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) associated with acquired protein S deficiency and recanalisation within 15 days of anticoagulation. A 38-year-old
