Although it is now well recognized that patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia usually respond much better to treatment than those with other cytological types, the relation...

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly severe primary tumor of the pleura mainly related to exposure to asbestos fibers. The median survival after symptom onset is less than 12 months. Conventional medical and surgical therapies--either as single lines or combined--are not wholly effective. No universally accepted guidelines have yet been established for patient selection and the use ...

One hundred and eighty-eight patients with myelomatosis, 166 of whom had multiple myelomatosis, were studied to assess the prognostic significance of age, sex, mode of clinical presentation, presence of anaemia, azotaemia and abnormal cells in the peripheral blood at the time of diagnosis. The generalized disease was rapidly fatal in many of these unselected patients. Women survived longer than...

Of 50 consecutive patients with bundle branch block (BBB) complicating acute antero-septal infarction, 37 died in hospital. Patients with BBB of delayed onset or BBB of short duration had a significantly lower mortality. His bundle recordings were made in 35 patients without pulmonary edema or shock at the time of appearance of BBB. Thirteen of 16 patients with prolonged H-V intervals died comp...
