Is there a Link Between Atherothrombosis and Deep Venous Thrombosis?

Venous and arterial thromboses have traditionnally been regarded as separate diseases with different causes. Clinical experience shows, that the arterial atherothrombotic disease can be associated with venous thrombotic disease, but there is insufficient evidence to prove and explain the nature of this association.This review focuses on the risk factors associated with both arterial and venous thrombotic events, and recent epidemiological studies have documented an association between these vascular complications.

Change in the lower limb deep venous flow in peripheral atherosclerotic arterial disease.

Aim: This prospective study was undertaken to determine how peripheral atherosclerotic disease influences the flow in the deep veins of the leg.

Material And Method: Thirty one subjects with peripheral atherosclerotic disease and 23 age matched control subjects were studied. The popliteal vein flow velocity was measured at rest and during reactive hyperemia by means of color duplex ultrasound scanning.

Influence of sildenafil and donepezil administration on the serum redox balance in experimentally induced lower limb critical ischemia.

Introduction: Chronic lower limb ischemia (CLLI) leads to endothelial cell dysfunctions and endothelial lesions. The use of substances that release nitric oxide and activate endothelial nitric oxide synthase has proved to be useful in increasing angiogenesis and arteriogenesis under critical ischemia conditions.

Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Sildenafil and Donepezil with a vasodilating action in experimentally induced CLLI and on serum redox homeostasis.

Influence of risk factors and comorbidities on the successful therapy and survival of patients with critical limb ischemia.

Background: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is associated with an increased risk of limb amputation, low quality of life and cardiovascular death. The aim of this study is to identify the prognostic factors of mortality, revascularization failure and amputation failure, as part of risk factors for athero-sclerosis and comorbidities.

Patients And Methods: We examined 198 patients operated for CLI.

[The management of acute pancreatitis according to the modern guidelines].

Severe acute pancreatitis is a critical illness as the organism that produces a significant mortality despite diagnostic and therapeutic acquisitions. While new mechanisms have been identified for production and were crystallized management principles, a number of controversies remain awaiting resolution in the near future. Aim is to establish, based on their experience and literature data, place the current means of diagnosis and treatment in close correlation with the pathophysiological events of acute pancreatitis.
