Given contradictory information
I've just been told by a hematologist that Warfarin does not effect the blood screen outcome. He said that Apixaban can but not Warfarin. An APS specialist advised that I should come off all anti-coagulants if I am to decided to repeat the screen. Not sure who is correct and I find people arguing both

Lung volume reduction
Hi I'm Tony. I have stage 3 emphysema and met the criteria for a lung volume reduction operation back in November 2019. I haven't heard anything since because of covid. I feel like I have been forgotten about and seem to be getting worse. I have rang appointments and they just tell me they will send

Hypercoagulability in patients with COVID-19
According to an open-access article in ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), because coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may present with medium to large arterial and venous abdominal and extremity macrothrombi, radiologists should raise concern for COVID-19 when identifying thromboembolic abdominopelvic

Flu jab before or after cardioversion
I am due to have DC cardioversion in 10 days. Any thoughts on whether I should have flu jab this week or post cardioversion. I wouldn’t want the side effects of the flu jab to bring on AF and makes the CV meaningless. Thoughts very much appreciated. Thank you

Wanting to cut premature deaths by almost 15% gets you the label of being a health nut!
Smokers could be forced to get their cigarettes from pharmacies using a prescription under a new plan from anti smoking advocates. The hardline proposal is part of a university's plan to end smoking forever, and includes cutting off cigarette sales permanently to anyone born after a certain date. Associate

Avoid The Lifetime Penalty
Hopefully this information helps those in the US, over 65, avoid some of the trauma and drama I faced when trying to enroll in a Medicare Supplemental Plan. Bumper sticker version: Avoid the Lifetime Medicare Part B Penalty and put in for Medicare Part B as soon as you know you won’t be covered under

Rivaroxaban and Thread Veins
Hi, I've been taking Rivaroxaban after a 2nd unprovoked - significant, large volume PE in January 2019. I wondered if anyone has developed a lot of dark purple thread veins in legs since taking Rivaroxaban. I was taking Warfarin for the first HRT provoked PE in 2010 and didn't experience this effect

Opportunity to be involved in an AF study
We have been asked to assist with research into the experiences of AF patients who are currently taking anticoagulant medications (specifically warfarin and rivaroxaban). The aim of this study is to gain a detailed insight into patient experiences when prescribed anticoagulation therapy for treatment

cyber knife aka SBRT
I am wondering if any one has experience with SBRT/Cyber Knife treatment. I get another PET on 9/1. First one was 3 mo. ago to look at a meningioma in my spine and lit up a 1.7cm tumor on my upper right lung lobe. I had the meningioma removed 7 weeks ago and now the thoracic surgeon wants a new PET

Anticoagulants
Possibly just clutching at straws, my GP diagnosed me with AF after I presented with mild breathlessness last December, he organised an ECG, prescribed Xarelto and referred me to a Cardiologist. By February the breathlessness was getting worse so I asked for a chest X-ray, the x-ray showed fluid on

In cell studies, seaweed extract outperforms remdesivir in blocking COVID-19 virus.
In a test of antiviral effectiveness against the virus that causes COVID-19, an extract from edible seaweeds substantially outperformed remdesivir, the current standard antiviral used to combat the disease. Heparin, a common blood thinner, and a heparin variant stripped of its anticoagulant properties

Stepped up again
I saw the asthma nurse at my surgery today...apparently I wasn’t supposed to have been seen in person but they’d confused the process and booked me in. Anyhow, I saw her cos my asthma isn’t great at the moment and I’m already on highest doses of my meds& tablets to go with. What was helpful was that
