One is central which involves either myelosuppression because of hepatitis viruses or the toxic effects of alcohol abuse on the bone marrow. The second one involves the presence of antibodies against platelets. It also depends upon the stage and etiology of liver disease. The ai

Abstract Background Splenomegaly is a common finding in general medical patients. The cause of splenomegaly is often found outside the spleen and therefore an extensive diagnostic medical work-up is frequently required. There is very little data on the distribution of causal diagnoses and, to the best of our knowledge, accurate data on the risk of hematological malignancies, hepatic diseases and storage diseases among patients with splenomegaly have never been reported.

Background: Anaemia is defined as an Hb concentration below the diagnostic reference range in children. Most school-aged children have anaemia, which is a common clinical disease. The effects of anaemia in school-age children include decreased resistance to disease, greater susceptibility to infection, poorer physical development, and poor academic performance. Consequently, the current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anaemia among Bengaluru private school students.

The prevalence of EMM in myeloma patients has been reported at 7 to 15 percent in newly diagnosed patients and from 6 to 20 percent in relapsed setting. Patients with EMM have poor prognosis with a median overall survival of &lt; 6 months. This abstract presents two cases of MM with initial presentation as a liver infiltrate.

We have reported the identification of 37 common proviral insertion sites (CIS), loci containing candidate genes whose mutation could cooperate with inactivation of Nf1 to result in BXH-2 AML.

Currently, there is no known genetic or biologic marker specific for ET. The etiology and pathogenesis of ET remain largely unclear, partially due to a lack of suitable animal model for the disease.
