Effective and well-tolerated treatment options for relapsed-refractory immune limited. In this study, the aim was to evaluate efficacy safety sirolimus in disease within paediatric age group. The study enrolled patients who used with diagnosis cytopenia between December 2010 2020, followed at six centres Turkey. Of 17 patients, five (29.4%) were treated...
Thrombocytopenia is a common clinical problem in cancer patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It can occur as prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PIT) or secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR) may cause potentially fatal bleeding. However, data on the treatment post-transplant still lacking.
Objective: It is well known that increased oxidative stress leads to tissue damage in beta-thalassemia (β-thal) patients. Thiols are one of the most important antioxidant agents, and thiol/disulfide (SH/SS) homeostasis a novel marker. This study aimed investigate relationship thiol levels, SH/SS homeostasis, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) patients with β-thal. Materials Methods: A hundred transfusion-dependent β-thal 41 healthy controls were included study. Results: Native thiol, total...

Lymphomas are solid tumors characterized by the malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells. Neurologic signs encountered in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma can be due to direct spread tumor nervous system, secondary chemotherapy or radiation, mass compression, infectious causes and paraneoplastic syndromes. Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes rarely non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Except for cerebellar degeneration dermato/polymyositis both lymphoma, other uncommon have only been reported as...
Abstract Hydrothorax of the cerebrospinal fluid after a subarachnoid‐pleural fistula is rare condition. Subarachnoid‐pleural may appear trauma at thoracolumbar vertebral column or iatrogenically thoracotomy. A two years and four months old boy who was operated because ganglioneuroblastoma admitted to hospital due respiratory distress. The chest roentgenogram obtained thoracotomy, showed pleural effusion left side tube inserted. craniospinal magnetic resonance imagining revealed lumbar...
This study was organized to determine the efficacy and safety of deferasirox (DFX) in reducing SF patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). is a retrospective, descriptive 101 transfusion- dependent major who were followed for 48 months. Twenty-nine used an alternative chelator either alone or combined, not compliant treatment, changed drug due adverse reactions, had multiple transfusions did complete 4 years DFX use excluded. A total 72 out completed study. decreases noted 6-12...
Data on the risk factors and outcomes for pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are limited. The study aimed to analyze clinical signs, factors, ICU admission mortality in a large cohort who underwent allogeneic HSCT prior COVID-19 infection. In this nationwide study, we retrospectively reviewed data of 184 recipients had between March 2020 August 2022. median time from was 209.0 days (IQR, 111.7-340.8; range, 0-3845...
Objective: Patients with Noonan syndrome (NS), who may need various surgical interventions throughout their lives, to be evaluated carefully in the preoperative period due risk of bleeding diathesis. There is a limited number studies evaluating diathesis patients NS. In this study, we aimed determine frequency NS and evaluate place thromboelastography (TEG) determining bleeding. Method: our score coagulation test results obtained from files 12 were evaluated. Results: The most frequently...
Hemoglobinopaties are the most common genetic disorder worldwide. Patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major (TDT) deficient in β-globulin chain production, resulting ineffective erytropoiesis and hemolysis. Consequently, patients TDT suffer from primary secondary iron overload, leading to severe organ dysfunction. In despite of significant improvements supportive care, especially monitoring treatment overload its complications, dysfunction progresses adulthood, morbidity...
