Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the occurrence and prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in Beijing, focusing on over 600 patients across several hospitals.
- - Among 636 patients, 14.5% were diagnosed with VTE, with higher incidence found in older patients and asymptomatic cases compared to symptomatic ones, highlighting a notable risk difference across age and symptomatology.
- - Only 19.1% of patients without VTE received preventive measures, indicating a significant gap in VTE prophylaxis despite identified risk levels based on the Caprini score classification.
Aim: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is implicated in several cardiovascular disorders, including atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and cardiac transplant arteriopathy. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HCMV and stroke.
Methods: Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ELISA were performed on plasma samples isolated from 200 patients diagnosed with stroke and 200 controls.
