Non-invasive early diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in deep veins which commonly occur in lower limb or thigh. The blood clot blocks deep vein and can travel to lung and block pulmonary arteries. This condition will cause fatal Pulmonary Embolism (PE). DVT can be diagnosed using non-invasive …

A Mechano-Chemical Computational model of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot in a vein, usually in the body's lower extremities. If untreated, DVT can lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), heart attack and/or stroke, which can be fatal. According to literature, DVT affects 0.2% of people in developed countries and about …

Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis in a South African public hospital
The evidence suggests an association between HIV, TB and DVT. There are no studies of this link in the Southern African setting, where the incidence of both of these conditions (HIV and TB) is high. We therefore undertook a study to define the incidence of HIV and TB in patients with confirmed DVT …

A Novel Manually Operated Compression Device for the Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis, a potentially fatal event, occurs when a blood clot forms within the deep veins of the body. This most frequently manifests in the lower extremities. The goal of this research was to build an inexpensive device that could apply therapeutic compressive pressure to the lower leg …

Visualisation on blood flow mechanism of vein in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) study
… the existence of thrombus. Proper blood flow in veins are important to ensure the effective return of deoxygenated blood to the heart. It is challenging to determine the vessel condition, due to the inability to visualize the thrombus presence in the vessel. This is due to the noise that are …

Clinical probability assessment and biochemical markers in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis
The combination of pre-test clinical probability assessment and D-dimer test is now widely applied in the diagnostic process of DVT. The general objective of the present investigation was to validate these results in a Swedish routine emergency setting were the prevalence of the disease is high and …

System for vessel characterization : development and evaluation with application to deep vein thrombosis diagnosis
… vessel characterization aimed at detecting deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs has been developed and evaluated using ultrasound image processing, location and force sensors measurements, blood flow information and a protocol based on the current clinical standard, compression …

Duration of oral anticoagulation in first-episode idiopathic deep vein thrombosis: A Markov decision analysis.
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity is a serious illness with an estimated incidence of 1 per 1000 persons per year. Objectives. To compare the lifetime risks and benefits of three months, six months, twelve months, two years, and lifelong anticoagulation for first episode …

A Minimally Invasive Ultrasound Therapy Based On Time- Reversal Acoustics For The Treatment Of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis is a clotting disorder that usually leads to the formation of clots in veins deep within the legs. Deep Vein Thrombosis generally leads to a life threatening condition called pulmonary embolism where the clot breaks away and blocks the arteries of lungs. DVT affects about …

Advancing clinical practice in the management of Deep Vein Thrombosis: development, application and evaluation of the Autar DVT scale
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a disease of hospitalised patients and is a precursor of Pulmonary Embolism (PE), a potentially fatal complication. DVT and PE are preventable and venous thromboprophylaxis consensus groups recommend that patients be risk assessed and accordingly receive appropriate …

Development and initial evaluation of wireless self-monitoring pneumatic compression sleeves for preventing deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients
… compression therapy to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In the development, an important objective was to make feasible the practical and commercial deployment of such improved therapy systems in future, by focusing on a cost-effective design and implementation. Over the years, …

The prevalence of deep vein thrombosis and associated factors in adult medical patients admitted to the University Teaching Hospital,Lusaka,Zambia
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE) are a global concern with substantial morbidity and mortality. Symptomatic DVT commonly occur in hospitalized patients with acute medical illnesses. Thromboprophylaxis for DVT is not …

The incidence and prevention of Postoperative Venous Thrombosis
… the last few years a very high incidence of deep vein thrombosis has been reported in the literature. Venous thrombosis and its sequel, pulmonary embolus account for 12. 5% of all postoperative deaths and is the single greatest threat to recovery after surgical operations. This study was …

Best Practices in The Use of Vena Cava Filters oo Prevent Pulmonary Emboli in Trauma Patients
… adult trauma patients, the development of a deep vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolism can have catastrophic implications including death. There are unique characteristics and injury patterns in trauma patients that may make chemoprophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis contraindicated. …

Computational and biological studies of mechanical prophylaxis against deep venous thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity and induced pulmonary embolism are common complications resulting from prolonged periods of bed-rest or immobilization of the limbs. One of the most effective methods of prophylaxis against DVT is external pneumatic compression (EPC). In spite of …

Thrombotic fingerprints for the enhanced prediction of thrombosis
Controlled thrombosis initiates and regulates tissue repair and remodeling in the vessel wall. Processes from heart attack to stroke, and deep vein thrombosis to pulmonary embolism, are all derived from unrestricted clotting. The frustrating aspects of these diseases lie not only in the difficulty …
