Descarga: VTE risk assessment in cancer Archivo: tromboembolia-venosa/tvp/haemo_2015-VTE risk assessment in cancer.pdf Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cancer is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality, and its prevention is of major clinical importance. However, the VTE rates in the cancer population vary between 0.5% – 20%, depending on cancer-, treatment- and patient-related factors….

Descarga: The role of mast cells in atherosclerosis Archivo: tromboembolia-venosa/tvp/haemo_2015-The role of mast cells in atherosclerosis.pdf Rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque is the major underlying cause of adverse cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Therapeutic interventions should therefore be directed towards inhibiting growth of atherosclerotic lesions as well as towards prevention of lesion…

Descarga: Platelet-derived chemokines in atherosclerosis Archivo: tromboembolia-venosa/tvp/haemo_2015-Platelet-derived chemokines in atherosclerosis.pdf In atherosclerosis, activated platelets have been recently recognised not only to participate in thrombotic events but also to play an essential role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Upon their activation, platelets release several pro-inflammatory mediators including chemokines. Chemokines are key molecules in inflammation as…
