Ultra-low-dose aspirin might decrease bleeding severity in portal hypertension
In rats with portal hypertension, ultra-low-dose aspirin has shown a normalizing effect of platelet-endothelial cell alterations and bleeding time. Further, this effect is mediated by Cyclooxygenase 2 inhibition. view more (2007-10-10)
Study shows optimal dose management of warfarin improves anticoagulation control
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have determined the optimal dose-management strategy to derive maximal benefit from warfarin therapy and improve patient outcomes. Results of the study appear online in the December 2008 issue of the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. view more (2008-12-23)

New understanding of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes could lead to revised classification of pain meds, Queen's study shows
COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes may be blocked by pain medications such as Advil and Vioxx in a more complex manner than was previously understood, a Queen's University study has found. view more (2006-05-30)
Mayo Clinic Proceedings studies risk factors for blood clots
The prolonged immobility of flight passengers during long-haul air travel increases the risk of developing blood clots, which could prove fatal especially to people whose travel occurs just prior to major surgery, medical researchers report in the current issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. view more (2005-06-01)
Researchers Discover New Enzyme in Cancer Growth
While studying the mechanics of blood clots, researchers at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center discovered a new enzyme that not only affects the blood, but seems to play a primary role in how cancer tumors expand and spread throughout the body. view more (2008-12-04)
Inflammation worsens danger due to atherosclerosis
Current research suggests that inflammation increases the risk of plaque rupture in atherosclerosis. The related report by Ovchinnikova et al, "T cell activation leads to reduced collagen maturation in atherosclerotic plaques of ApoE-deficient- mice," appears in the February 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-01-23)
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE have found a way to treat ischemic pathologies
A team of researchers from CIC bioGUNE from the Cellular Biology and Stem Cell Unit, alongside a team from Paris' Cardiovascular Research Centre (INSERM U970) have developed a new area of research which looks extremely promising as regards the development of new therapeutic responses to ischemic pathologies and cardiovascular diseases in general. view more (2009-08-05)
Obesity tied to higher risk of complications in spinal surgery, Jefferson neurosurgeon finds
While obesity is famously tied to increasing risks for heart disease and diabetes, now comes another reason to lose weight: being obese may contribute to a greater likelihood of complications in delicate spine surgery. view more (2006-10-10)
Comparison of drug-releasing coronary stents show similar effectiveness
