<i>Introduction:</i> It has been shown recently that platelet indices like mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet size deviation width (PDW) and platelet-to-large-cell ratio (P-LCR) are helpful in the discrimination between hyperdestructive thrombocytopenia like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hypoproductive thrombocytopenia (HT). The aim of the study is to assess t...... hiện toàn bộ Central Venous Line-Related Thrombosis in Children Tập 115 Số 3-4 - Trang 201-206 - 2006

Central venous lines are used in critically ill children and in children with chronic conditions for the administration of intravenous therapy, such as fluids, medications, total parenteral nutrition and blood products. Although the use of central venous lines has greatly improved the quality of care in these children, these catheters may cause serious mechanical, infectious and thrombotic...... hiện toàn bộ Angioimmunoblastic Lymphadenopathy with Dysproteinemia: Emphasis on Pathogenesis and Treatment Tập 99 Số 2 - Trang 57-64 - 1998
Sabah Sallah, Gregory Gagnon
Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by diffuse lymphadenopathy, fever, hepatosplenomegaly, hemolytic anemia, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Morphologically, the involved lymph nodes demonstrate complete effacement of the normal architecture, prominent neovascularization and infiltration by immunoblasts a...... hiện toàn bộ Recombinant Urate Oxidase (Rasburicase) for the Prevention and Treatment of Tumor Lysis Syndrome in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies Tập 115 Số 1-2 - Trang 35-38 - 2006

In this multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label clinical trial conducted from July 2003 to July 2004, recombinant urate oxidase (rasburicase) was administered to patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome before or during the initiation of chemotherapy. Forty-five patients were enrolled, including 18 children (10 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 6 with high-grade lymphoma, and 2 with acute...... hiện toàn bộ Substance P-Fibronectin-Cytokine Interactions in Myeloproliferative Disorders with Bone Marrow Fibrosis Tập 109 Số 1 - Trang 1-10 - 2003

Bone marrow (BM) fibrosis could occur secondarily to several clinical disorders: hematological and nonhematological. Clinical presentation of fibrosis could occur in myeloproliferative diseases, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome and myeloma. The pathophysiology underlying BM fibrosis remains unclear despite intensive study, with a corresponding lack of specific therapy. This review discus...... hiện toàn bộ
