The involvement of central nervous system is rare in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). We report a APL patient of a 41 yr-old Korean male who presented with fever and petechia. Complete molecular remission was achieved with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), idarubicin, and cytarabine. Ten months later, he complained of a mild headache. The results of the physical examination and the complete bl...

Congenital leukemia is a very rare malignancy of childhood with a poor prognosis. The incidence is nearly 1 in 5 million live births. The majority of cases are acute myeloblastic leukemia with trisomy. Clinical manifestations are usually leukocytosis, petechia, ecchymosis, cutaneous nodules, hepatosplenomegaly and central nervous system symptoms. 23-days old girl was presented with complaints o...

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare but fatal thrombotic microangiopathy. Circulating AntiADAMTS13 antibodies produced in response to various triggering events, such as vaccinations, autoimmune disorders, malignancy, and administration of several drugs lead acquired TTP (aTTP). This case concerns 26-year-old male with aTTP after receiving the second dose Covishield vaccine (Oxfo...

The father mentioned that the vomitin...

After nearly a century of height suppression, willows (Salix spp.) in the northern range of Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A., are increasing in height growth as a possible consequence of wolf (Canis lupus) restoration, climate change, or other factors. Regardless of the drivers, the recent release of this rare but important habitat type could have significant implications for associated songbi...

We describe the discovery of two slugs, Arion subfuscus and Deroceras reticulatum, on living adult birds captured for banding at Powdermill Nature Reserve, Rector, Pennsylvania. The presence of slugs on birds suggests that bird transport might play a role in slug dispersal. Additional keywords: Gray fieldslug, Deroceras reticulatum, dusky arion slug, Arion subfuscus, common yellowthroat, Geothl...

BACKGROUND Premature ventricular contractions (PVC), capillary leakage, and petechial hemorrhage can occur during myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). The effects occur as a result of the interaction of contrast agent microbubbles and the ultrasound, but the detailed etiology of the effects is not yet clear. This study tested the hypothesis that the capillary leakage results from a physi...
