Hypofibrinolysis in diabetes: a therapeutic target for the reduction of cardiovascular risk [PDF]
An enhanced thrombotic environment and premature atherosclerosis are key factors for the increased cardiovascular risk in diabetes. The occlusive vascular thrombus, formed secondary to interactions between platelets and coagulation proteins, is composed ...

Effect of oral tranexamic acid on macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion or diabetes [PDF]
Purpose: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a widely used antifibrinolytic agent that can also cause a decrease in vascular permeability. We hypothesized that TXA could improve macular edema (ME) that is caused by an increase in retinal vascular permeability.
