Mutation in blood coagulation factor V associated with resistance to activated protein C

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phenotype of APC resistance is associated with hetero-zygosity or homozygosity for a single point mutation in the factor V gene which predicts the synthesis of a factor V molecule that is not properly inactivated by APC.

Collaborative overview of randomized trials of antiplatelet therapy .1. prevention of death, myocardial-infarction, and stroke by prolonged antiplatelet therapy in various categories of patients

R Altman, +418 more
- 08 Jan 1994 - 
TL;DR: There was no appreciable evidence that either a higher aspirin dose or any other antiplatelet regimen was more effective than medium dose aspirin in preventing vascular events, so in each of the four main high risk categories overall mortality was significantly reduced.

A population-based perspective of the hospital incidence and case-fatality rates of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The Worcester DVT Study

TL;DR: Extrapolation of the data from this population-based study suggests that there are approximately 170,000 new cases of clinically recognized venous thromboembolism in patients treated in short-stay hospitals in the United States each year, and 99,000 hospitalizations for recurrent disease.

Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients Treated with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin or Unfractionated Heparin

TL;DR: Daily platelet counts in 665 patients in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing unfractionated heparin with low-molecular-weight hepar in as prophylaxis after hip surgery revealed heparIn-induced thrombocytopenia, associated thromBotic events, and heParin-dependent IgG antibodies are more common in patients treated with unfractionate heparine than in those treated with low,molecules-weight He

Antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolic disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that patients with symptomatic proximal DVT may benefit from fitted compression stockings for at least 3 months to reduce the incidence of the postthrombotic syndrome, and patients with VTE who receive adequate anticoagulation generally do not die of recurrent disease.
