Advances in microRNA regulation of deep vein thrombosis through venous vascular endothelial cells (Review)
Mol Med Rep. 2024 Jun;29(6):96. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13220. Epub 2024 Apr 12.ABSTRACTDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a prevalent clinical venous thrombotic condition that often manifests independently or in conjunction with other ailments. Thrombi have the propensity to dislodge into the circulatory system, giving rise to complications such as pulmonary embolism, thereby posing a significant risk to the patient. Virchow proposed that blood stagnation, alterations in the vessel wall and hypercoagulation are primary factors contributing to the development of venous thrombosis. Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) constitute the ...

Epidemiology, Etiology, and Pathophysiology of Pulmonary Embolism
Int J Angiol DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785487Over the last 20 years, there has been a progressive increase in the incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosis in the United States, Europe, and Australia. Increased use of computed tomography pulmonary angiography has likely contributed in part to this rising incidence. However, it is pertinent to note that the burden of comorbidities associated with PE, such as malignancy, obesity, and advanced age, has also increased over the past 20 years. Time-trend analysis in North American, European, and Asian populations suggests that mortality rates associated with PE have been declini...

Simple and sensitive sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensing strategy for D-dimer based on cyclodextrin-carbon nanotube and nanogold-ferrocene
Heliyon. 2024 Mar 26;10(7):e28793. doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28793. eCollection 2024 Apr 15.ABSTRACTD-dimer is a very important biomarker about sepsis, pulmonary thromboembolism and atherosclerosis, thus designing effective and sensitive method for its detection is of great significance. Herein, by synthesizing β-cyclodextrin-carbon nanotube nanohybrid (CNTs-CD) as the carrier to assemble the initial antibody (Ab1) of D-dimer, immobilizing secondary antibody (Ab2) and sulfydryl ferrocene (Fc) on the nanogold (Au) particles surface as the signaling amplifier (Ab2-Au-Fc), a low cost, simple, sensitive and effective sandw...

Venous Thrombosis in Acute Pancreatitis: What to and Not to Do?
AbstractAcute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreas that has not only local but systemic effects as well. Venous thrombosis is one such complication which can give rise to thrombosis of the peripheral vasculature in the form of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and splanchnic vein thrombosis. The prevalence of these complications increases with the severity of the disease and adds to the adverse outcomes profile. With better imaging and awareness, more cases are being detected, although many at times it can be an incidental finding. However, it remains understudied and strangely, most of t...

Systemic and Bilateral Severe Ocular Toxoplasmosis Resembling Autoimmune Phenomena: A Case Report
CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: This case underscores the importance of ruling out an infectious etiology in all cases of uveitis. Additionally, it alerts clinicians to the possibility that elevated positive autoantibodies may result from a severe inflammatory reaction caused by pathogens rather than an autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease, particularly in instances of poor treatment response or atypical clinical presentation.PMID:38592492 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2024.2336605 (Source: Ocular Immunology and Inflammation)
