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 …

Retrospective review of the incidence of venous thromboembolism in pregnancy and the puerperium and identification of presenting complaints of pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism at Groote Schuur Maternity Centre, Cape Town between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016
Background: Venous thromboembolism is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality around the world. In addition to the immediate morbidity, there is significant implications on delivery plans, future options of contraception and thromboprophylaxis in subsequent pregnancies. At present, no …
