Arguments favoring low versus high dose aspirin in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism
The use of aspirin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still controversial. In a profound review on the use of aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism and other cardiovascular disorders Cohen et al. [1] conclude that the benefits of aspirin are well documented for conditions like myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, and stroke, but less clearly for prevention of VTE after orthopedic surgery. The latter indistinctness has been a matter of concern in many earlier reviews and meta-analyses, and has even led to non-uniform guidelines on VTE prevention from the American ...

Oxidative Modified Fibrinogen in Cardiovascular Diseases
ConclusionsThe results show that the degree of impairment of fibrinogen functions in the cardiovascular diseases is related to the level of oxidative stress. Characterization of oxidative fibrinogen modification and its precise meaning to the function of fibrinogen in hemostasis appears to be extremely helpful to better understanding of thrombotic/bleeding complications linked with various cardiovascular diseases.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the Ministry of Health, Czech Republic, no. 00023736, by the Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic no.
