Abstract:
Aim: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which comprises deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, poses a global disease burden. Vitamin K antagonists have traditionally been the mainstay of treatment; however, the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are emerging as an alternative. The relative use of these treatment classes in the real world is unknown. Patients & methods: We performed a retrospective study using data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink to understand VTE treatment patterns. Results: NOACs have unseated vitamin K antagonist as the main form of VTE patient treatment in England. Conclusion: The data highlight how comfortable physicians have become in using NOACs to treat VTE in England and it is likely that the increasing use of NOACs will continue.

Work Done During Volume Change
Consider a gas confined to a cylinder fitted with a movable piston at one end. If the gas expands from volume V1 to volume V2, it exerts a force on the piston, such that the piston moves by a distance dr.
The work done by the gas on the piston can be expressed as
