OBJECTIVE
To present 5 cases of bone biopsy-proven osteomalacia with marrow fibrosis (in 3 cases) after gastric bypass operation, review the relevant literature, and offer preventive strategies.
METHODS
We summarize the clinical presentation, pertinent biochemical and radiologic data, and bone
COVID-19 carries a high risk of severe disease course, particularly in patients with comorbidities. Therapy of severe COVID-19 infection has relied on supportive intensive care measures. More specific approaches including drugs that limit the detrimental "cytokine storm", such as Janus-activated
Starting from 1994, every 2 years, an international workshop is organized focused on calreticulin and other endoplasmic reticulum chaperones. In 2017, the workshop took place at Delphi Greece. Participants from North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia presented their recent data and
In order to evaluate the place of the laparoscopic approach in splenectomy for haematological disease, the authors prospectively studied a series of 25 consecutive patients requiring splenectomy. There were 11 cases of thrombocytopenic purpura, 9 lymphomas, 2 cases of herediary spherocytosis, 1
Clinico-laboratory and radionuclide (radio-hepatography with 131I-rose bengal and liver scanning with 198Au colloid solution) investigation of liver function was performed in 110 patients with polycythemia vera during exacerbation, in 16 patients with symptomatic erythrocytosis (10--chronic
Bone marrow transplantation is frequently used as a consolidation therapy in patients with haematological malignancies to improve the outcome of these patients. Obese individuals have larger absolute lean body and fat masses than non-obese individuals of the same age, gender and height, which might
Several options exist for treating essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. One approach is to assign the patient to a risk category from which treatment recommendations follow. The principal risks of essential thrombocythemia include thrombosis, major hemorrhage, and conversion to leukemia
The Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), have overlapping clinical features but exhibit different natural histories and different therapeutic requirements.
Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are characterized by clonal expansion of an abnormal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell and include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Venous thrombosis, often at unusual sites, including splanchnic vein
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have estimated annual incidence rates for polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis of 0.84, 1.03, and 0.47 per 100,000. Prevalence is much higher, particularly for PV and ET, as mortality rates are relatively low. Patients
Classical myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are composed of essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV) and myelofibrosis (MF), the etiology of which is largely unknown. We investigated the role of anthropometric, medical and lifestyle factors with risk of MPN in a prospective cohort of
Despite the identification of acquired genetic mutations associated with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) there is a paucity of information relating to modifiable risk factors that may lead to these mutations. The MOSAICC Study was an exploratory case-control study of polycythemia vera (PV),
