Publisher Copyright: © 2018 The AuthorsMultiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease, with little information available on its management in real-world clinical practice. The results of the present prospective, noninterventional observational study revealed great diversity in the treatment regimens used to treat MM. Our results also provide data to inform health economic, pharmacoepidemiologic, and outcomes research, providing a framework for the design of protocols to improve the outcomes of patients with MM. Background: The present prospective, multinational, noninterventional study aimed to document and describe real-world treatment regimens and disease progression in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Patients and Methods: Adult patients initiating any new MM therapy from October 2010 to October 2012 were eligible. A multistage patient/site recruitment model was applied to minimize the selection bias; enrollment was stratified by country, region, and practice type. The patient medical and disease features, treatment history, and remission status were recorded at baseline, and prospective data on treatment, efficacy, and safety were collected electronically every 3 months. Results: A total of 2358 patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 775 and 1583 did and did not undergo stem cell transplantation (SCT) at any time during treatment, respectively. Of the patients in the SCT and non-SCT groups, 49%, 21%, 14%, and 15% and 57%, 20%, 12% and 10% were enrolled at treatment line 1, 2, 3, and ≥ 4, respectively. In the SCT and non-SCT groups, 45% and 54% of the patients had received bortezomib-based therapy without thalidomide/lenalidomide, 12% and 18% had received thalidomide/lenalidomide-based therapy without bortezomib, and 30% and 4% had received bortezomib plus thalidomide/lenalidomide-based therapy as frontline treatment, respectively. The corresponding proportions of SCT and non-SCT patients in lines 2, 3, and ≥ 4 were 45% and 37%, 30% and 37%, and 12% and 3%, 33% and 27%, 35% and 32%, and 8% and 2%, and 27% and 27%, 27% and 23%, and 6% and 4%, respectively. In the SCT and non-SCT patients, the overall response rate was 86% to 97% and 64% to 85% in line 1, 74% to 78% and 59% to 68% in line 2, 55% to 83% and 48% to 60% in line 3, and 49% to 65% and 36% and 45% in line 4, respectively, for regimens that included bortezomib and/or thalidomide/lenalidomide. Conclusion: The results of our prospective study have revealed great diversity in the treatment regimens used to manage MM in real-life practice. This diversity was linked to factors such as novel agent accessibility and evolving treatment recommendations. Our results provide insight into associated clinical benefits.publishersversionPeer reviewe

Estudio del metamorfismo existente en torno al granito de Lumbrales (Salamanca)

[ES] El metamorfismo en torno al granito de Lumbrales forma dos bandas alargadas en sentido este-oeste; una al norte y otra al sur con intensidad creciente hacia el granito, pasando gradualmente a migmatitas y por último al propio granito de anatexia de Lumbrales. Se trata de un metamorfismo de baja presión en el que se ha desarrollado una zonación con los siguientes minerales característicos: clorita-biotitaandalucita (cordierita)-sillimanita-feldes K. El aumento progresivo de las condiciones da lugar a migmatitas con cordierita-feldes K.[EN] The metamorphism around the granite of Lumbrales (Salamanca), develop two bands, one to north and other to south with increasing intensity towards the granite, with graduate passing to migmatites and latest to anatexis granite of Lumbrales. The metamorphism is of low-pressure, with develop of characteristic minerals: chlorite-biotite-andalusite (cordierite)-sillimanite-K feldspar; and cordierite-K feldespar in the migmatites

Estudio geológico del campo filoniano de la Fregeneda (Salamanca)

[ES] En este trabajo se aborda el estudio de un denso campo filoniano: la naturaleza y características de los filones, sus relaciones con la deformación y con los granitos, su génesis y emplazamiento. En función de todos estos datos se han distinguido tres grupos principales: filones pegmatiticos N-S, filones concordantes WN W-ESE y filones del sector E-SE. Y se ha establecido una secuencia en su aparición comparándola con algunos modelos teóricos para la intrusión del magna (modelo de ROBERTS).[EN] In this work a close dike field has been studied. Emphasis is placed on the composition and fundamental properties of these dikes: their conexión with the regional tectonic and granitic rocks and their genesis and emplacement. According to these data, we have distinguished three main groups: N-S pegmatite dikes, WN W-ESE concordant sheets and E-SE zone dikes. Their sequence has been established and is compared with certain theoretical models for magma intrusion (ROBERTS' model)
