Retrospective study about the frequency of hemorrhagic complications (258 patients) in the treatment of venous thrombosis and/o pulmonary embolism, with heparin. Heparin was intermittently administered by endovenous way and controlled during the ten first days. Mostly of the big hemorrhages happened between the seventh and the tenth day, in digestive and urinary system mainly.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant preventable cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominopelvic surgery that calls for extended VTE prophylaxis (eVTEp). Literature suggests that significant racial disparities may exist in post-operative care.
Objective: The study sought to examine if racial disparities exist in the administration of eVTEp after hysterectomy in a statewide collaborative.

This case report describes an otherwise healthy 43-year-old female who presented with severe pain, foot drop, and critical limb ischemia to her left foot caused by thrombosis of a peripheral artery secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome. Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease that frequently manifests as recurrent arterial and/or venous thrombotic events, ischemic strokes, and miscarriages. Antiphospholipid syndrome affecting primarily the arteries is less common as compared to venous thrombosis.

Background: Globally, haemodialysis is the most frequent type of kidney replacement therapy and necessitates access to the bloodstream either through a native arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft or central venous catheter. Vascular access complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults receiving haemodialysis, and effective vascular access self-management is required.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of educational or behavioural interventions designed to improve self-management of long-term vascular access in adults receiving haemodialysis.

The glycocalyx is an essential structural and functional component of endothelial cells. Extensive hemodynamic changes cause endothelial glycocalyx disruption and vascular dysfunction, leading to multiple arterial and venous disorders. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common disorder of the lower extremities with major health and socio-economic implications, but complex pathophysiology.
