Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a population-based case-control study.
BACKGROUND Reported risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) vary widely, and the magnitude and independence of each are uncertain. OBJECTIVES To identify independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and to estimate the

Statistical physics of cerebral embolization leading to stroke [PDF]
We discuss the physics of embolic stroke using a minimal model of emboli moving through the cerebral arteries. Our model of the blood flow network consists of a bifurcating tree, into which we introduce particles (emboli) that halt flow on reaching a node of similar size.

Liquid embolic agents for interventional embolization
Minimally invasive interventional embolization has tremendous advantages over conventional surgery in the treatment of vascular diseases and malignant tumors. Particularly, liquid embolic agents have garnered much attention owing to their properties of deep vascular penetration and full occlusion of vasculature independent of thrombus formation, which ...

Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism with d-Dimer Adjusted to Clinical Probability.
BACKGROUND Retrospective analyses suggest that pulmonary embolism is ruled out by a d-dimer level of less than 1000 ng per milliliter in patients with a low clinical pretest probability (C-PTP) and by a d-dimer level of less than 500 ng per milliliter in
