[Case of effective endovascular treatment of venous gangrene].

Presented in this article is a clinical case report regarding treatment of a patient with deep vein thrombosis complicated by venous gangrene having developed 10 days after the onset of the disease. Conservative therapy (infusion of colloids and crystalloids, anticoagulants, agents improving microcirculation, venotonics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, elevated position of the limb) made it possible to stabilize the patient's condition, but not improving haemodynamics of the affected limb. A decision was made to use endovascular techniques.

[Efficacy of apixaban in prevention of haemorrhagic complications in treatment of deep vein thromboses with endovascular techniques].

Purpose: This study was undertaken to investigate efficacy of apixaban in prevention of haemorrhagic complications during treatment of proximal thromboses of deep veins of the lower extremities using endovascular techniques.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively studied the results of treating a total of 50 patients presenting with deep vein thromboses at late stages of the pathological process. The patients were subdivided into 2 statistically homogeneous groups.

[Results of administering oral anticoagulants for treatment of patients with venous thromboembolic complications].

The objective of the study was to compare safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban and dabigatran with warfarin in treatment of patients with acute venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC). The authors analysed the results of examining and treating a total of 95 patients presenting with VTEC and randomly divided into three groups. In all groups the initial anticoagulant therapy consisted in unfractionated heparin administered for 5 days, after which the patients followed by switching were switched to a 6-month course of treatment with oral anticoagulants.

A survey of Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii infection in urban rodents from Brazil.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects humans and other warm-blooded animals; it uses feral and domestic cats as the definitive hosts. Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite of animals whose life cycle is very similar to T. gondii but uses canids as definitive hosts.

Toxoplasma gondii isolates from free-range chickens from the northeast region of Brazil.

The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in free-ranging chickens is a good indicator of the prevalence of T. gondii oocysts in the soil because chickens feed from the ground. The prevalence of T.
