A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in September 2008 because of a left-sided chest pain. Bone marrow examination showed that 85.5% of leukemic cells were positive for myeloperoxidase (MPO) and were negative for esterase stain. Flow cytometric analysis (FCM) revealed the expression of CD19, CD79a, CD13, CD33, CD34, and HLA-DR on the blasts. Cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow cells u...

Fifty-three patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) were included in this study (25 females & 28 males) and followed-up from October 2003 till October 2005 included for the evidence of acute transformation. Twenty-one patients (39.6%) transformed to acute phase , 16 patients(76.1%) of them transformed during the first 4 years of diagnosis. Fifteen patients (71.4 %) ) transformed to acute ...

Introduction: Various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. In this report, we present a case of acute SCI treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional reha...

introduction:targeted radionuclide therapy (trt) has been demonstrated to be an effective therapeutic tool in patients with disseminated bone metastasis. trt is generally performed with a single radionuclide. in this study we investigated the feasibility of combined trt with a high-energy beta emitter (153sm) and a low energy beta emitter (177lu) in wistar rats. methods: the cocktail complex of...

Osteoporosis (ie, low bone mineral density) is common in ankylosing spondylitis, related to both systemic inflammation and decreased mobility. Vertebral fracture risk is increased; acute back pain in these patients is not always a flare-up of the disease, as it can be related to bone complications.
