Bleeding in Uremia

2021

Progressive deterioration of renal function eventually leads to uremia, which is associated with impaired function of platelets and a disturbed platelet–vessel wall interaction thus increasing the risk of bleeding in patients with renal failure. Furthermore, also anemia and anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs contribute to the increased risk of bleeding in patients with end stage renal disease. Management of bleeding episodes in uremic patients includes an adequate dialysis, the correction of anemia with erythropoietin or erythropoetin stimulating agents, the administration of estrogens, desmopressin, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, factor VIIa, or tranexamic acid. In severe bleeding ep…

Free Radicals and Antioxidants in Physical Exercise

1998

The beneficial effects of exercise are well documented. Indeed, it ameliorates diabetes mellitus, improves the plasma lipid profile, increases bone density and may help to lose weight. However, as stated in the old medical saying “the beneficial effects of exercise are lost with exhaustion”. It has been known for some time that exhaustive exercise causes muscle soreness, induces an elevation of cytosolic enzyme activities in blood plasma and may be harmful. In the last decade a considerable amount of information concerning production of free radicals in exhaustive exercise has been obtained. An international symposium took place in Valencia, Spain in 1993 and a book was published on the sub…

Evaluation of early and late histamine release by three standard volume substitutes

2001

Following meta-analysis [1], the use of colloidal solutions in intensive care medicine is under discussion. Although polygeline [2] and human albumin are known to cause histamine release, other substances eg hydroxyethyl starch were thought to be without effect. Histamine release depends on the clinical scenario, concomitant drugs, infusion speed, duration and amount of infusion. However, there is no information about their effect regarding time periods longer than immediate reactions. This study investigated the histamine releasing effects of three plasma substitutes administered and observed over a longer period of time, simulating many of the clinical scenarios.

Predictive Value for Increased Factor XIa and Plasma Kallikrein Activity in Acute Venous Thromboembolism

2021

Abstract Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with increased coagulation activity, which in part can be attributed to the contact pathway of coagulation. Evidence from pre-clinical and epidemiological studies suggests that deficiency in factors of contact activation (e.g. coagulation factors (F) XI and FXII) protects against VTE. However, limited information exists regarding the activation of the contact system in the setting of acute VTE. In the current study, patients with confirmed VTE events (n=321) from the VTEval study and controls (n=300) from the population-based PREVENT-it pilot study were included. Plasma samples were collected from patients after confirmed VTE events or con…

Effect of comprehensive vasodilation vs usual care on mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in women with acute heart failure

2020

Abstract Background Guidelines recommend evaluating the risk/benefit ratio of novel therapies individually in women and men, as the pathophysiology and the response to treatment may differ between women and men. Among patients with acute heart failure (AHF), a strategy of intensive vasodilation, compared with usual care, overall did provide comparable outcomes. Purpose To evaluate the effect of a strategy that emphasized early intensive and sustained vasodilation in women with AHF. Methods In a randomized, open-label blinded-end-point trial patients hospitalized for AHF were enrolled in 10 hospitals in Switzerland, Bulgaria, Germany, Brazil, and Spain. Inclusion criteria were AHF expressed …
