Overweight and obesity rates have increased in recent decades, particularly among the younger population. The long-term consequences of obesity with respect to early venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women have not been established. The aim was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy as a proxy for non-pregnant weight and long-term post-pregnancy risk of VTE in women.

- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication during acute COVID-19, but the long-term risk associated with it remains unclear.
- This study focused on Swedish individuals aged 18-84 who were either hospitalized or tested positive for COVID-19, comparing their VTE rates to a matched control group without COVID-19.
- Results showed that hospitalized COVID-19 patients had significantly increased long-term risks for pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), while non-hospitalized individuals had similar VTE risks as those without COVID-19.
Chronic immune mediated inflammation is characterized by continuous chemokine mediated recruitment and activation of pro-inflammatory cells, monocytes in particular. We believe that an evaluation of the recruitment profile of monocytes during healthy condition is essential for the understanding of cellular response in disease. For this, we have established normal reference values and 95% confidence intervals for receptor expression of 20 chemokine receptors on monocyte subsets; classical (CD14+ CD16−), non-classical (CD14+ CD16+) and HLA-DRhi monocytes from 20 healthy controls using flow cytometry.
