Just over 10 years ago Thrombosis UK joined UK healthcare leads to campaign for the mandating of VTE Risk Assessment in all English hospitals. After much campaigning, risk assessment was mandated and adverse VTE events have fallen.
Thrombin generation, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT) levels, and prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) have shown potential as biomarkers of thromboembolic risk. The aims were to establish reference intervals for these three biomarkers and to assess the levels in patients with localized cancer compared with healthy individuals.
Tell Me Your Sweet Lies, a romantic thriller, was the first novel that Ken Gregory, 64, of Portsmouth was writing with his wife Gio.
But tragedy struck in September when Gio died aged 62 in September from thrombosis – a blood clot – while the couple were on holiday in France working on the final edits of their co-written romantic thriller novel.
