HOMOCYSTEINE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE - Annual Review of Medicine, 49(1):31 - 0 views

  • An elevated level of total homocysteine (tHcy) in blood, denoted hyperhomocysteinemia, is emerging as a prevalent and strong risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vessels, and for arterial and venous thromboembolism
  •  
    elevated homocysteine increases risk for artherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and thromboembolism

Testosterone treatment and risk of venous thromboembolism: population based case-contro... - 0 views

  •  
    Testosterone is great when needed, not doped; but Testosterone is not without risks.  Population case-control study finds increased blood clot risk in first 6 months of Testosterone therapy.  To many variables left unanswered by this study.

Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy and Risk of Idiopathic Venous Thromboembolism: Results F... - 0 views

  • Transdermal estrogens alone or combined with progesterone might be safe with respect to thrombotic risk.
  • Oral but not transdermal estrogens were associated with an increased thrombotic risk
  • There was no significant association of venous thromboembolism with progesterone
  •  
    bioidentical hormones do not increase stroke risk; also, route of delivery impacts stroke risk

High D-dimer levels are associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients - 0 views

  • a systemic activation of blood coagulation and procoagulant changes in the hemostatic system have frequently been observed in cancer patients, even in the absence of venous thromboembolism
  • Thrombin is a pivotal enzyme in the process of blood coagulation and leads to the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, which is the end product of blood coagulation and finally results in the formation of a fibrin clot
  • deposition of fibrin, which has an important role in the formation of tumor stroma and hematogenous spread of tumor cells.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The interaction of fibrin, platelets and tumor cells leads to the formation of platelet-fibrin-tumor-cell aggregates that promote endothelial adhesion and metastatic spread, as well as tumor cell growth and tumor cell survival
  • fibrin degradation products have been shown to display strong angiogenic properties
  • D-dimer is a biomarker that globally indicates the activation of hemostasis and fibrinolysis
  • It is a degradation product of fibrin
  • high D-dimer levels were reported to be predictive of the occurrence of VTE in cancer patients
  •  
    elevated D-Dimer associated with poor prognosis in cancer. Good review of cancer and ehmostasis.
