Scientists discover two genes linked to early heart attack risk
One of the genes, known as VAMP8, normally expresses a protein essential for early stages of clotting. When clotting occurs in a coronary blood vessel, it can lead to heart attack. view more (2006-05-12)
Family history is a poor predictor of venous clotting
Family history of venous thromboembolism (blood clotting) is an unsatisfactory predictor for identifying common thrombophilic defects in women without thrombosis before taking oral contraceptives, finds a study in this week's BMJ. A total of 324 women (mean age 34 years) with no personal history of venous thromboembolism were screened for common... view more... (2001-04-24)
Aspirin is most cost effective way to prevent heart disease
Aspirin and blood pressure lowering drugs can prevent heart disease at a fraction of the cost of cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) and clopidogrel (an anti-clotting drug), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2003-11-26)
Gel derived from a patient's own blood may help promote wound healing
A preliminary study suggests that topical application of a gel made from platelets in healthy individuals' own blood may help wounds heal more quickly and completely. view more (2007-05-22)
Can fish factories make cheap drugs?
Written by Amitabh Avasthi A HUMAN blood-clotting factor used to treat some people with haemophilia and accident victims suffering serious bleeding has been produced using genetically modified fish. view more (2004-09-08)
NEW SYNTHETIC ANTITHROMBOTIC DRUG COULD REDUCE DVT RISK AFTER HIP SURGERY (pp 1710, 1715, 1721)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how a new class of synthetic antithrombotic drug could be more effective than conventional therapy in reducing the risk of potentially fatal blood clots associated with hip-replacement surgery. Between 16 and 30% of patients who undergo Hip-replacement surgery have a risk... view more... (2002-05-15)
Blood's clotting cells harbor 'ticking time bombs,' finding may help extend blood supply
Fragments of cells in the blood known as platelets—which form blood clots and assist in wound healing—have internal "clocks" that act like ticking time bombs, predetermining their death from the moment they are born, according to a new study in the March 23 issue of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press. view more (2007-03-23)
Impact of fondaparinux tested on most serious heart attacks
The results of a large international cardiovascular trial will shed light on whether the addition of a new drug that prevents blood clotting, or thrombosis, can improve the treatment of the most serious form of heart attacks. view more (2006-03-15)
ESF study helps stop drugs slipping through safety net
Recent advances in genetic screening will lead to safer pharmaceutical drugs, with reduced adverse side effects, if the methods are incorporated in clinical development. view more (2008-09-17)
Blood-compatible nanoscale materials possible using heparin
Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have engineered nanoscale materials that are blood compatible using heparin, an anticoagulant. The heparin biomaterials have potential for use as medical devices and in medical treatments such as kidney dialysis. view more (2006-05-08)
Innovative Gel Reduces Post-Operative Pain Following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
A gel made from a patient's own blood reduces pain and may improve wound healing following endoscopic sinus surgery according to researchers at Rush University Medical Center. view more (2005-10-14)
Medication may promote opening of arteries following stroke
A medication known as argatroban, when combined with another drug already used in the treatment of stroke patients, may help restore the flow of blood through blocked arteries. view more (2006-08-15)
Studies to date say erectile dysfunction drugs affect other systems, mostly for the better
Since the Food and Drug Administration gave Viagra® (sildenafil) its approval in 1998, "erectile dysfunction" has become a household term — probably to the chagrin of many parents fielding questions from their kids watching TV. view more (2006-06-16)
Therapeutic prospects beyond Vioxx
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have clarified the mechanism by which drugs like Celebrex and Vioxx cause heart problems, in multiple animal models. view more (2006-04-14)
GENETICS OF BLOOD CLOTTING FACTORS (pp 83, 101)
People with a family history of coronary heart disease are thought more likely to develop the disease themselves, because of a combination of genetic and shared environmental factors. Researchers use twin or adoption studies to establish whether genetic or environmental factors are more important in the development of a particular disease. There... view more... (2001-01-11)
Scientists pinpoint protein link to fat storage
A protein found present in all cells in the body could help scientists better understand how we store fat. view more (2009-09-18)
Mayo Clinic researchers use magnetic attraction to improve stents, reduce blood clot risk
Mayo Clinic heart researchers have devised a new strategy to improve the effectiveness and safety of heart stents, which are used to open narrowed blood vessels and have been the recent subject of clotting concerns. view more (2006-11-03)
Researchers find mutiple proteins that stick to medical devices
Biomedical engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a new role for the blood protein serum amyloid P in the body's response to medical materials, which may help to explain a variety of problems associated with heart-lung bypass, hemodialysis and the use of artificial vascular grafts. view more (2005-10-06)
Enoxaparin beats unfractionated heparin as adjunct therapy for heart attacks
A simple-to-use strategy that prevents blood clots in patients who have suffered a heart attack markedly reduces the risk of repeat heart attack or death when compared to an older, more widely used blood thinning strategy. view more (2006-03-15)
Common blood thinner increases risk of bone fracture
Elderly patients taking the commonly prescribed blood thinner warfarin experience an increased risk for osteoporosis-linked bone fractures, according to a study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-01-24)
