Thrombophilic conditions in the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism

Abstract

Thrombophilic conditions are congenital or acquired hemostatic disorders pathophysiologically or statistically associated with higher risk of thrombosis. Their most important clinical manifestation is venous thromboembolism. In more than 50% of persons with non-induced thrombosis, some of the known thrombophilias can be found. Persons with congenital thrombophilias have, contrary to those without any thrombophilias, most of all an increased risk of an initial thromboembolic event while the impact of congenital thrombophilic conditions on their recurrence is not so clear. In patients with idiopathic thrombosis is the risk of recurrence 7-10% a year even at the absence of known thrombophilias. The risk of a recurrent event is influenced by a set of other factors (prevailing or undetected trigger factor, proximal thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, incomplete rechanneling of a thrombotic vein, presence of some thrombophilias, high level of D-dimers after discontinuation of the anticoagulant treatment). Their identification and consequent monitoring are decisive in the choice of an optimum treatment and the duration of their administration in secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism. In the primary venous thrombosis prevention...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
