The authors report a case of a cerebral embolism, with a rapidly resolving course, during late fibrinolysis using tissue plasminogen activator in a patient with a posterolateral myocardial infarction. A review of the literature is used as basis for considering the effects of fibrinolytic treatment on left intraventricular thrombi during the acute phase of myocardial infarction. The risk of systemic embolism during such treatment is stressed.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one among most significantly fatal gynecological cancers, with late-stage detection and an inadequate prognosis. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( ) gene anticipates negative outcomes in many different kinds of malignancies. Several research investigations are currently being done to examine the biological role of in OC and the possible benefits of targeted pharmacotherapies.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is most common in women during their reproductive years. When a low platelet count occurs for the first time during pregnancy, the differential diagnosis includes pregnancy-specific conditions. Although ITP is the most common cause of thrombocytopenia early in pregnancy, pregnancy-related thrombocytopenia develops mainly in late gestation.

Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) share a number of similarities. However, important differences in pathophysiology demand a disease-tailored approach. In both conditions, fast treatment plays a crucial role as ischaemia and eventually infarction develop rapidly.

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is the third most common cause of vascular death. Data on APE from India and other low-and middle-income countries is sparse.
Objectives: Study the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, in-hospital mortality (IMH) and 12 months mortality of patients with APE in India.

Background And Aim: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication associated with significant maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity, has been found to be closely linked to dysfunction in the blood coagulation-fibrinolysis system. However, the relationship between hematologic data and severity and onset time of preeclampsia remains unclear. This study aimed to identify specific hematologic parameters in both preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women and determine their potential significance in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.
