Biomarkers Profile in Provoked Unprovoked Deep Venous Thrombosis.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), represents a substantial healthcare challenge. Provoked and unprovoked DVT cases carry distinct risks and treatment considerations. Recognizing the limitations of this classification, molecular markers may enhance diagnostic precision and guide anticoagulation therapy duration relying on patient history and risk factors.

Conventional Varicose Vein Surgery: Comparison between Single versus Staged Surgery Using Patient Reported Outcomes.

Background: In the Brazilian public health system, conventional surgery is the standard procedure for treatment of varicose veins (VV). We aimed to compare clinical and quality of life (QoL) results of patients subjected to bilateral treatment of VV by a single-procedure or staged-procedure approach.

Methods: A total of 111 patients undergoing bilateral treatment for VV were treated either by a single-surgery or 2 staged procedures (minimal: 30-day interval) depending on institutional protocol.
