Relapse primary central nervous system lymphoma successfully consolidated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation with thiotepa/busulfan/fludarabine conditioning
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is generally characterized by a poor prognosis and frequent relapsing disease. Consolidation therapy in the upfront setting usually consists of an autologous stem cell transplantation. We report the case of a 19-year-old Caucasian male who had previously undergone an allogeneic stem cell transplantation with complete engraftment for the treatment of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia when he was 1 year old. He presented with two episodes of (donor-derived) PCNSL from allogeneic stem cells; however, after induction chemotherapy, he failed to harvest stem cells for the consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation. He was consolidated successfully with a second allogeneic stem cell transplantation with another donor after conditioning with thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine
Fragmentation of Nuclei at Intermediate and High Energies in Modified Cascade Model
The process of nuclear multifragmentation has been implemented, together with
evaporation and fission channels of the disintegration of excited remnants in
nucleus-nucleus collisions using percolation theory and the intranuclear
cascade model. Colliding nuclei are treated as face--centered--cubic lattices
with nucleons occupying the nodes of the lattice. The site--bond percolation
model is used. The code can be applied for calculation of the fragmentation of
nuclei in spallation and multifragmentation reactions.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
Measurement of residual nucleus cross sections and recoil energies in p + Fe collisions at 300, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 MeV
The production of residual nuclei in p + Fe collisions has been measured at GSI on the FRS facility by means of the reverse kinematic techniques at 300, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 MeV/A. The cross-sections larger than 0.01 mb of all isotopes with Z larger than 8 have been obtained. Velocity distributions were also measured. Comparisons to models describing spallation reactions and some empirical formulae often used in astrophysics are presented. These data are directly used to calculate impurety production and DPAs in a thin window as foreseen in spallation sources or accelerator-driven systems
Major liver resection results in early exacerbation of insulin resistance, and may be a risk factor of developing overt diabetes in the future
Comprehensive Biomarker Testing of Glycemia, Insulin Resistance, and Beta Cell Function Has Greater Sensitivity to Detect Diabetes Risk Than Fasting Glucose and HbA1c and Is Associated with Improved Glycemic Control in Clinical Practice
