Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease. The most common form of psoriasis is characterized by sharply demarcated, scaly, erythematous plaques. The face is an unusual site for psoriasis. Herein, we report a 43-year-old woman with facial psoriasis that was developed after remission–induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia with high dose cytarabine/daunorubicin.

Nonhuman primate antisera defining leukemia-associ ated and normal Tand B-lymphocyte-associated anti gens were used to characterize serologically the cells from acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia patients in blast crisis (CML-BC). Earlier studies demonstrated that nonhuman primate an tisera to chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelogen ous leukemia, and chro...

introduction: we intended to assess the accuracy of re-expressed modification of diet for renal disease (mdrd) and cockcroft-gault (cg) equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (gfr) in chronic kidney disease in two different etiologies of acute renal failure (arf): acute tubular necrosis (atn) and acute glomerulonephritis (agn). methods: patients admitted for arf or the patients compl...

acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (ahle) is a rare demyelinating disease characterized by an acute rapidly progressive fulminant inflammation of the white matter. in this case report, we introduce a case of ahle in children with an interesting and lengthy process and successful treatment. a previously healthy 13-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital because of fever and loss of conscious...

introduction: apoptosis is an important mechanism in both physiological and pathological conditions. the bcl2 family of proteins plays a critical role in regulation of apoptotic cell death. up and down regulation of bcl2-like 12 (bcl2l12), a new member of the bcl2 family, has been reported in several malignancies. however, the expression level of bcl2l12 rarely has been studied in leukemia. thi...

background: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is the most common form of childhood cancer leading to cancer-related death in children. most infants with all harbor recurring structural chromosomal rearrangements that are important initiating events in leukemogenesis but are insufficient to explain the biology and heterogeneity of the disease. mixed-lineage leukemia-rearrangement (mll-rearrange...
