Venous thromboembolism occurs when a deep vein thrombosis travels to the lungs and forms a pulmonary embolism. Low-molecular-weight heparins are a mainstay in the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism and should be initiated promptly due to substantial morbidity and mortality. A rare side effect of low-molecular-weight heparins is major ... Read more >>

Hereditary hyperferritinemia and cataracts syndrome (HHCS) without iron overload is a syndrome first identified less than 3 decades ago. While investigators have dissected the gene where several responsible mutations reside, it remains a relatively unknown genetic disorder to clinicians. The result is often an expensive, invasive evaluation for iron overload, ... Read more >>
