Article Synopsis
- Detecting hidden cancers in patients with unexplained venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging, and this study sought to explore how coagulation-related biomarkers could help.
- A study involving 214 patients with unprovoked VTE measured several biomarkers at diagnosis, finding that sP-selectin levels were significantly higher in patients with occult cancer.
- Combining high levels of sP-selectin and D-dimer can potentially identify occult cancer with up to 91% specificity, indicating these biomarkers may be useful in clinical settings, although more research is needed.
Background: The aim was to analyze the temporal relationship between short-term air pollution exposure and acute symptomatic unprovoked pulmonary embolism (PE).
Patients/methods: We performed a prospective, multicenter study in consecutive patients diagnosed with acute symptomatic unprovoked PE from February 2012 to January 2013. We analyzed demographic and clinical data, patients' addresses, meteorological and air pollutants data (PM, SO, CO, NO, ozone emission data).
