Platelet Activity and Blood Lipid Changes in Diabetes Mellitus
An altered platelet function can often be found in diabetes mellitus (2, 3, 4, 10, 13, 16, 17, 23, 24). Several studies have pointed towards an increased sensitivity of platelets to ADP induced aggregation (3, 6, 23) in diabetic patients; this phenomenon can also be found in diabetics without apparent vasculopathy and in subjects with altered glucose tolerance (3, 23).
Effects of Antihypertensive Treatment on Peripheral Flow of the Lower Limbs
The clinical pattern determined in subjects that undergo a high and prolonged pressure regime is defined as “hypertensive disease”.
Factor VIII and Antithrombin III in Atherosclerosis Obliterans of the Lower Limbs
In the multifactorial pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (the W.H.O. gives a list of about forty risk factors) recent acquisitions have allowed to determine in part the role carried out by the term “haemocoagulative disorders” (90) showing the possible connections between haematic components of haemocoagulation and vascular wall that up to now have been only hypothesised.
