Assessment of the effects of low molecular heparins in pulmonary embolism prophylaxis Michał Piwoński1, Klaudia Żak1, Piotr Piech1, Małgorzata Neścior1 [1] Human Anatomy Department, Medical University of Lublin, Poland Corresponding author: Michał Piwoński Jaczewskiego 4 20-090 Lublin, Poland michalpiwonski2@gmail.com ABSTRACT: Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that can be the source of significant morbidity and mortality. It is the major complication of venous thromboembolism (VTE) which, by occluding the pulmonary arterial bed may lead to an acute life-threatening state. The clinical management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism has rapidly changed over the years. After the diagnosis of the PE, the anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy is initiated. Most commonly, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), unfractionated heparins (UFH), fondaparinux or vitamin K antagonists are used for the anticoagulant therapy. However, LMWH are still uncertain agents, both in the PE prophylaxis and in the high-risk PE cases. Objective: The aim of the article is to assess the effects of LMWH in the pulmonary embolism prophylaxis. State of knowledge: A range of clinical and epidemiological studies have shown the relationship between the anticoagulant therapy using the LMWH in the PE prophylaxis. Lower risk of not only PE but also therapy-induced haemorrhages, blood clots and embolisms recurrences were proven in several meta-analyses. Moreover, the LMWH therapy seems to have a better impact on prevention of VTE symptoms and post-surgical embolisms than other anticoagulant agents. However, some studies have shown that the therapy using LMWH can be replaced with another anticoagulant with a comparable risk of complications. Conclusion: In the light of this informations, it is surely possible that the LMWH has a better impact in the PE prophylaxis and post-surgical complications prevention than other agents. Still, we can face various results of the studies but the effectiveness of their activity in most cases leaves no doubt for the reasonableness of their usage. Key words: Pulmonary Embolism, Low Molecular Weight Heparin, Thromboprophylaxis.

Abstract

Background: Treatment of giant melanocytic nevi (GMN) remains a multidisciplinary challenge. We present analysis of diagnostics, treatment, and follow- up in children with GMN to establish obligatory procedures in these patients., Material/methods: In 24 children with GMN, we analyzed: localization, main nevus diameter, satellite nevi, brain MRI, catecholamines concentrations in 24-h urine collection, surgery stages number, and histological examinations. The t test was used to compare catecholamines concentrations in patient subgroups., Results: Nine children had "bathing trunk" nevus, 7 had main nevus on the back, 6 on head/neck, and 2 on neck/shoulder and neck/thorax. Brain MRI revealed neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) in 7/24 children (29.2%), symptomatic in 1. Among urine catecholamines levels from 20 patients (33 samples), dopamine concentration was elevated in 28/33, noradrenaline in 15, adrenaline in 11, and vanillylmandelic acid in 4. In 6 NCM children, all catecholamines concentrations were higher than in patients without NCM (statistically insignificant). In all patients, histological examination of excised nevi revealed compound nevus, with neurofibromatic component in 15 and melanoma in 2. They remain without recurrence/metastases at 8- and 3-year-follow-up. There were 4/7 NCM patients with more than 1 follow-up MRI; in 1 a new melanin deposit was found and in 3 there was no progression., Conclusions: Early excision with histological examination speeds the diagnosis of melanoma. Brain MRI is necessary to confirm/rule-out NCM. High urine dopamine concentration in GMN children, especially with NCM, is an unpublished finding that can indicate patients with more serious neurological disease. Treatment of GMN children should be tailored individually for each case with respect to all medical/psychological aspects.
