The 2003 Marshall R. Urist Award Paper - Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?
(2004)Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ... -
Carotid plaque composition in stable and unstable coronary artery disease
(2005)Background Several pieces of evidence suggest that formation of complex atheromatous plaques may be influenced not only by local but also by systemic factors. Methods Twenty-five patients (16 men/9 women, age 63 +/- 10 ... -
Compression with or without early ambulation in the prevention of post-thrombotic syndrome: A systematic review
(2006)Introduction. The aim of this study was to assess whether there is enough evidence to suggest that compression with or without early ambulation after proximal DVT reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Methods. ... -
The Effect of Plasma Homocysteine Levels on Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
(2009)Background: Several reports have shown that homocysteine promotes thrombosis by disturbing the procoagulant-anticoagulant balance, whereas alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis have been suggested as important ... -
Late onset of clinically apparent central vein stenosis due to previous central venous catheter in a patient with inherited thrombophilia
(2014)We describe a case of a patient with a functional kidney transplant who was admitted to our department with clinically evident central vein stenosis (CVS) 7 years after the removal of a central venous catheter (CVC) from ... -
Leptin induces the expression of functional tissue factor in human neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells through JAK2-dependent mechanisms and TNF alpha involvement
(2008)Introduction: Leptin is an adipocyte-derived cytokine primarily involved in the regulation of body weight and energy balance. In vivo studies suggest that leptin promotes platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Neutrophils ... -
Lessons learnt from the autopsies of 445 cases of sudden cardiac death in adults
(2005)Aim To determine the cause of sudden cardiac death in adults who underwent autopsy. Methods Four hundred and forty-five sudden cardiac deaths occurred within 1 h of the symptoms onset, and all other cardiac and noncardiac ... -
A Novel Experimental Animal Model of Arterial Stenosis Based on Endovascular Radiofrequency Energy Application
(2011)Purpose: To develop a new rabbit model of arterial stenosis using endovascular radiofrequency (RF) energy. Materials and Methods: Ten rabbits were used for multiple endovascular RF applications to the aorta and left common ... -
Potential aetiological factors concerning the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head
(2000)Background The aetiology and pathogenesis of non-traumatic osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head have not been fully elucidated. The present study was conducted to evaluate the possible correlation of relevant haematological ... -
Predicting Short-term Mortality in Patients With Pulmonary Embolism: A Simple Model
(2013)Background: The aim of the present study was to develop a simple prognostic rule that could classify patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) into categories of increased risk of 30-day mortality. Methods: One hundred patients ... -
Prevalence and clinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with type 1 autoimmune hepatitis
(2005)There are few case reports on the association between autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and anticardiolipin antibodies (anti-CLAbs) and/or antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). We studied the anti-CLAbs prevalence in AIH and other ... -
Superficial Vein Thrombosis in Patients with Varicose Veins: Role of Thrombophilia Factors, Age and Body Mass
(2012)Objectives: To investigate the association of various risk factors including thrombophilia defects, in patients with varicose veins (VVs) and history of episodes of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT). Materials and methods: ... -
Thrombophilia and venous thromboembolism in pregnancy: a meta-analysis of genetic risk
(2015)Three common polymorphic variants, namely Factor V Leiden (FVL), Prothrombin G20210A (PT G20210A) and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) C677T are candidate genes for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnancy. We ...
