      The incidence of Gram-negative bacteremia has increased in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. We prospectively collected data from 13 Brazilian HSCT centers to characterize the epidemiology of bacteremia ...

    • Factor VArg(306)-> Thr (factor V Cambridge) and factor V Arg(306)-> Gly mutations in venous thrombotic disease 

      Franco, R. F.; Maffei, Francisco Humberto de Abreu [UNIFESP]; Lourenco, Dayse Maria [UNIFESP]; Morelli, Vania Maris [UNIFESP; Thomazini, I. A [UNIFESP]; Piccinato, C. E.; Tavella, M. H.; Zago, M. A. (Blackwell Science Ltd, 1998-12-01)
      We investigated the prevalence of two reported mutations of the factor V gene (factor V Arg(306) --> Thr, or factor V Cambridge, and factor V Arg(306) --> Gly) in 104 relatively young patients with verified venous thrombosis ...

    • Fibrinogênio como fator de risco independente de doença vascular cerebral 

      Fukujima, Marcia Maiumi [UNIFESP]; Martinez, Tânia Leme da Rocha [UNIFESP]; Pinto, Leonor do Espírito Santo de Almeida [UNIFESP]; Auriemo, Caio R.c. [UNIFESP]; Andrade, Luiz Augusto Franco de [UNIFESP] (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 1997-01-01)
      We have studied fibrinogen levels (Clauss technique) in atherothrombotic ischemic stroke patients, in order to determine its role as a thombogenic risk factor. Twenty nine patients (20 men and 9 women) between 25 and 79 ...
