blood disorders in the elderly is no exception. although the book is recently published and although most references are from within the past 5 years, many of the concepts explored are already dated. the chapter on myelodysplasia, for example, does not explore hypermethylation and histone ...

Bone Marrow Disorders Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that can be found in your bone marrow which makes antibodies. In multiple myeloma, a plasma cell begins to grow out of control and produces high amounts of antibody. This increas...
certain modifications of this protein pattern can be associated with specific pathological disorders. The modifications include the presence orabsenceof components, decreases or increases in intensity of components, or changes in microheterogeneity. The disorders included monoclonalgammopathies, hyper- and ...
Monoclonal immunoglobulins are seen in blood cell tumors that involve lymphocytes or plasma cells. In these disorders, there is typically a marked increase in one class of immunoglobulin and a decrease in the other two classes. Although affected people may have an increase in total immunoglobulins,...
Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) patients with extrapulmonary Mtb infection; (2) patients with diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and other metabolic disorders; (3) HIV-positive patients; (4) patients with co-infections; (5) patients with co-infections with other severe lung diseases; (6...
and very high concentrations ofIgGcan also cause hyperviscosity. Clinically significant serum hyperviscosity is almost invariably caused bylymphoproliferative disorders(e.g.,multiple myeloma,macroglobulinemia, lymphosarcoma; seeBox 12-2). Hyperviscosity syndrome rarely occurs ingammopathies(monoclonal or poly...

Alpha-amino boronic acid derivatives are useful for selectively inhibiting the activity of immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 and for the treatment of medical conditions affected by immunoproteasome activity such as blood disorders and solid tumors, which are defined by specific genetic alterations and/or inade...
