The disease is rare and is thought to be a variant form of acute pandysautonomia ( 4, 5) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (6) . Pathologically , the abnormality in this disease as found in two autop...

introduction: the secondary genetic changes other than the pml-rara fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. chromosomal alterations and mutation of flt3 tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (aml). however, the prognostic significance of flt3 mutations in acute promyelocytic leukemia (apl) is not firmly established....

it has been estimated that more than 1.7 million individuals suffer a traumatic brain injury (tbi) each year. tbi causes secondary biochemical and metabolic changes which contribute to subsequent tissue damage and associated neuronal cell death. two early and delayed events occur after tbi, which results in neurological deficits. primary injury events include the mechanical damage that occur at...

BACKGROUND Although secondary acute leukemias and myelodysplasia are the known complications of adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, the treatment outcome of these secondary malignancies is presently unclear. We examined the clinical and pathological features as well as the treatment results of a series of patients with acute leukemia/myelodysplasia arising after adjuvant chemotherapy for b...
