Despite the use of modern methods of diagnosis and treatment, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities remains a fairly common disease. In half of all cases, DVT may be asymptomatic and manifest itself in subsequent symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE) or postthrombotic syndrome (PTS...
Warfarin monotherapy is then continued for a time period which depends on the specific conditon of patients. These current treatment guidelines were published before the approval of new oral anticoagulants. The advantages of new oral anticoagulants are the ease of use, reduced monitoring requirements,...
Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are widely regarded as manifestations of a single disease, venous thromboembolism (VTE). An evidence-based approach to the treatment of acute VTE will be reviewed here. Currently available therapeutic options will be emphasized; possible future...

In children, SBS is debilitating and uniformly fatal without treatment. The primary goal of treatment is to restore enteral autonomy and reduce long-term dependence on parenteral support by increasing the absorptive potential of the remnant intestine. In this review, the medical and surgical ...
disease. Locally delivered radiation damages the DNA triggering apoptosis in the targeted cells. Pre-treatment scans and therapy can use the same “carrier”; however, a different radionuclide attached to the carrier can be used for the imaging and therapy. Certain theranostic radiopharmaceutical pairs...
Supportive care measures also have improved, including the use of bisphosphonates to prevent osteolytic lesions. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances and provide an evidence-based approach to the treatment of multiple myeloma. 展开 ...
This has prompted the study of several novel agents in the treatment of myeloma, at least 2 of which appear promising. Supportive care measures also have improved, including the use of bisphosphonates to prevent osteolytic lesions. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances and ...
For some viruses, currently available drugs can effectively eliminate the virus in the host, but genetic components are left behind. Thus, the host still suffers from the infection because the virus can integrate its genetics into the host cell. For example, treatment with the combination of INF...
