Introduction: 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 the
reliability of th... hiện toàn bộ
Central Venous Line-Related Thrombosis in Children Tập 115 Số 3-4 - Trang 201-206 - 2006
Shoshana Revel‐Vilk
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 complic... 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 and plasm... 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
myeloid... hiện toàn bộ
Substance P-Fibronectin-Cytokine Interactions in Myeloproliferative Disorders with Bone Marrow Fibrosis Tập 109 Số 1 - Trang 1-10 - 2003
Pranela Rameshwar, Hyun Sook Oh, Clara R. Yook, Pedro Gascón, Victor T. Chang
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
discusses new ... hiện toàn bộ
