The physiopathology of the disease remains largely unknown. However, evidence about the role of endothelial dysfunction has emerged. Whereas chronic platelet activation is of major importance in acute thrombosis of large atherosclerotic arteries, its role in SDI remains unclear. Frequently associated risk...

His past medical history was marked by intraven- ous drug addiction (started at the age of 28 and currently treated by buprenorphine) and chronic respiratory failure after chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (tobacco con- sumption estimated at 36 pack-years). A serum test performed 1 year ago...
Renal or liver failure (chronic or acute) No dose adjustment seems to be required in patients presenting with renal or liver failure because of the very short half-life of the active substance and of the non-hepatic and non-renal metabolism of the molecule (SmPC Guilin™). However, ...

Much emphasis has been placed on the role of oxidative stress in chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis. The role of oxidative stress in acute diseases often seen in the emergency room and intensive care unit is considerable. New tools for the rapid, inexpensive ...
gastrointestinal hemorrhage,splenomegaly, andascites. The condition is often clinically silent, but an important clue to its presence is an abnormal abdominal venous pattern (caput medusa).[3,4]The patient in this case did not have chronic liver disease, nor any clinical sign that suggested portal...
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall, remains the underlying cause of cardiovascu- lar complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD)1. Despite improvement in the interventional and pharmacological treatment of ...
