Predictors of bleeding event among elderly patients with mechanical valve replacement using random forest model: A retrospective study.

Medicine
Available classification tools and risk factors predicting bleeding events in elderly patients after mechanical valve replacement may not be suitable in Asian populations. Thus, we aimed to identify an accurate model for predicting bleeding in elderl...

[Determination of sulfation degree of heparin and low molecular weight heparins by capillary electrophoresis].

Se pu = Chinese journal of chromatography
Heparin is composed of a highly sulfated linear saccharide and is widely used as an anticoagulant. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are derived from the unfractionated heparin (UFH) by enzymatic or chemical degradation. LMWHs have largely replac...

Anticoagulant treatment in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation: a position paper.

Geriatrie et psychologie neuropsychiatrie du vieillissement
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in the elderly. The treatment of this condition is based on anticoagulation to prevent stroke and systemic arterial embolism. Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have long been the only anticoagulants available for the man...

Renal Function Estimates and Dosing of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: An Observational Study.

Acta neurologica Taiwanica
PURPOSE: Appropriate dosing of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) requires consideration of renal function. Discordance between commonly used estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine clearance (CrCl) might affect the dosing appropri...

In silico Prediction of Inhibitory Constant of Thrombin Inhibitors Using Machine Learning.

Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening
BACKGROUND: Thrombin is the central protease of the vertebrate blood coagulation cascade, which is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. The inhibitory constant Ki is the most significant property of thrombin inhibitors.

Development of a Computer-Aided Dosage and Telemonitoring System for Patients Under Oral Anticoagulation Therapy.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we present a system that allows patients who require anticoagulation medicine an opportunity to independently manage their dosage concentration with the help of two machine learning algorithms. The basic idea is to predict the next dos...

Precision Cohort Finding with Outcome-Driven Similarity Analytics: A Case Study of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Dividing patients into similar groups plays a significant role in implementing personalized care. Clinicians and researchers have been applying patient grouping techniques in disease phenotyping, risk stratification, and personalized medicine. Howeve...

Robotic Excision of a Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Mitral Chordae.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Papillary fibroelastomas of the mitral chordae tendineae are rare, primary benign tumors. They are either incidentally diagnosed during echocardiography or discovered after transient ischemic attack, stroke, or myocardial infarction. Removal of papil...

Factor V Leiden and Cardiopulmonary Bypass.

The journal of extra-corporeal technology
We present a case of a patient with factor V Leiden with an antithrombin III activity of 67% who received a successful aortic valve replacement supported by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A safe level of anticoagulation was achieved by monitoring acti...
