Comparison of Two Low-Power Electronic Interfaces for Capacitive Mems Sensors
The paper discusses the importance and the issues of interfacing capacitive
sensors. Two architectures applicable for interfacing capacitive sensors are
presented. The first solution was designed to interface a capacitive humidity
sensor designed and built for a humidity-dependent monolithic capacitor
developed at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The second case
presents the possible read-out solutions for a SOI-MEMS accelerometer. Both of
the architectures were built and tested in a discrete implementation to qualify
the methods before the integrated realization. The paper presents a detailed
comparison of the two methodsComment: Submitted on behalf of EDA Publishing Association

Lenalidomide added to standard intensive treatment for older patients with AML and high-risk MDS
More effective treatment modalities are urgently needed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) of older age. We hypothesized that adding lenalidomide to intensive standard chemotherapy might improve their outcome. After establishing a safe lenalidomide, dose elderly patients with AML were randomly assigned in this randomized Phase 2 study (n = 222) to receive standard chemotherapy ("3 + 7") with or without lenalidomide at a dose of 20 mg/day 1-21. In the second cycle, patients received cytarabine 1000 mg/m(2) twice daily on days 1-6 with or without lenalidomide (20 mg/day 1-21). The CR/CRi rates in the two arms were not different (69 vs. 66%). Event-free survival (EFS) at 36 months was 19% for the standard arm versus 21% for the lenalidomide arm and overall survival (OS) 35% vs. 30%, respectively. The frequencies and grade of adverse events were not significantly different between the treatment arms. Cardiovascular toxicities were rare and equally distributed between the arms. The results of the present study show that the addition of lenalidomide to standard remission induction chemotherapy does not improve the therapeutic outcome of older AML patients. This trial is registered as number NTR2294 in The NederlandsTrial Register (www.trialregister.nl).Immunobiology of allogeneic stem cell transplantation and immunotherapy of hematological disease

Rituximab plus Lenalidomide in Advanced Untreated Follicular Lymphoma
Rituximab plus chemotherapy has been shown to be effective in patients with advanced-stage, previously untreated follicular lymphoma; nevertheless, most patients will have a relapse. Combination immunotherapy with lenalidomide and rituximab is an immunomodulatory regimen that has shown promising activity in patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
