RESUMO
Sixty pregnant women with symptoms of threatened abortion were the subjects of this study. Serum CA-125 and plasma fibronectin levels were estimated two times three days apart, aiming to find any relationship between any changes that may occur in the 2 measurements and the fate of threatened abortion. A comparative study was done with twenty normal pregnant women as control subjects. By analyzing the percentage increment or decrement, it was found that CA-125 has a role in predicting fate of threatened abortion, while fibronectin level has not

From 1989 to 1992 40 deep vein thrombosis selected patients [22 females and 18 males], their ages ranging from 18 to 52 years with a mean age 32 years, were treated with streptokinase with a loading dose 500,000 units then subsequent maintenance doses of 250,000 units every 12 hours for 3 days. The clinical signs of DVT subsided in 75% of treated patients within 28 days of completing SK therapy. A repeat phlebography was performed on admission and within 7-28 days after SK therapy and a total recanalization or partial thrombolysis was achieved in 75% of the studied cases. Four patients developed severe bleeding needed interruption of SK administration and 3 patients developed pulmonary embolism, none of them died. This report emphasizes the clinical and radiological effectiveness as well as the risk of bleeding complication during SK therapy and if streptokinase is to be used, therefore careful selection of patients and meticulous monitoring are mandatory
