Erythrodermic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) includes patients with erythrodermic mycosis fungoides who may or may not exhibit blood involvement and Sézary syndrome and in whom hematological involvement is, by definition, present at diagnosis. These patients were stratified into 5 hematologic stages (H0-H4) by measuring blood tumor burden, and these data were correlated with survival. The stu...

BACKGROUND Despite the existence of numerous biologic pathways potentially linking increased physical activity to decreased risk of hematologic cancers, the associations between physical activity and subtype-specific hematologic cancers have not been comprehensively quantified. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of physical activity in relation to subtype-specific hema...

This study was performed to determine the clinical, hematologic, and biochemical findings in animals affected with lumpy skin disease (LSD) in southwest Iran. Sixty cattle with LSD were included in this study and compared with 20 healthy ones as the control group. The disease was diagnosed based on clinical examination and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis of the blood samples. Th...

Background: Sulfur mustard was the most widely applied chemical warfare agent by the Iraqi army in Iran–Iraq war (1983-1988). Considering the role of sulfur mustard toxicity in hematopoietic neoplasms and also new role of JAK2 mutation in these neoplasms, we assessed this mutation and delayed hematologic complications in veterans exposed to sulfur mustard. Methods: This case control st...

Evidence and information sources. The contribution of leukocytes and red cells to thrombogenesis has been reviewed. Moreover, the prevalence of thrombosis as a complication of hematologic diseases has been examined. The authors are involved in the investigation and management of acute and chronic hematologic diseases as well as in investigation of thrombophilia. Pub-Med was employed as a source...
