Aseptic osteonecrosis has been described in many and dissimilar pathologic conditions--most frequently as the aftermath of fractures or dislocations; in falciform anemia, obesity, alcoholism; in diseases requiring constant and heavy corticosteroid therapy, and also following renal transplantation.
A 24-year-old African American female (L.R.) with a history of smoking and gestational diabetes was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. She received multiple chemotherapies, including six cycles of ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), followed by radiation therapy to left
beta-Lipotropin, a pituitary peptide, is a strong stimulator of lipolysis in rabbit adipose tissue. This polypeptide is shown to be degraded by intact fat pads, homogenized adipose tissue and adipocytes of the rabbit dependent on the amount of adipose tissue, time and the pH of the incubation
BACKGROUND
The success of chemotherapy for Stage III testicular carcinoma warranted its use as an adjuvant therapy for Stage II cancer. The current report reflects the adjuvant program begun at the University of Minnesota using four courses of vinblastine, bleomycin, and cisplatin (VBP) before the
OBJECTIVE

BACKGROUND
ALCL99 protocol including six courses of chemotherapy derived from the NHL-BFM protocol is widely used for the treatment of paediatric anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. In the ALCL99 trial, patients were randomised to receive MTX 1 g/m² in 24 hr with intrathecal injection (MTX1) versus MTX
In spite of the improvement on chemotherapy results in treating testicular cancer and the introduction of adjuvant chemotherapy to node negative (as well as node positive) breast cancer patients, there is still present a wide spectrum of early and late toxic manifestations. The combination of
OBJECTIVE
The current study evaluates the extent and reversibility of late sequelae after chemotherapy in longterm survivors of testicular cancer. The influence of therapy and patient characteristics and the relationship between different toxicities are assessed.
METHODS
Ninety patients with a
Lymphoma is a group of malignant neoplasms of lymphocytes with more than 90 subtypes. It is traditionally classified broadly as non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma. Approximately 82,000 new U.S. patients are diagnosed with lymphoma annually. Any tobacco use and obesity are major modifiable risk factors,
