Is pegfilgrastim safe and effective in congenital neutropenia? An analysis of the French Severe Chronic Neutropenia registry.

29 Nov 2009 AIMS: To examine the efficacy and safety of pegfilgrastim in patients with congenital neutropenia (CN). METHODS: Seventeen patients enrolled in the French Severe CN Register received pegfilgrastim. RESULTS: Median age at pegfilgrastim introduction ... Read more...

Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma with clusters of LP Cells, acute inflammation, and fibrosis: a syncytial variant.

30 Oct 2009 Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) has clinicopathologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular features that are distinct from classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Distinguishing these entities is usually straightforward, but unusual ... Read more...

Diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil-derived circulating free DNA (cf-DNA/NETs) for septic arthritis.

30 Oct 2009 The release of "neutrophil extracellular traps" (NETs) has been identified as a novel immune response in innate immunity. NETs are composed of neutrophil-derived circulating free DNA (cf-DNA) and neutrophil cytoplasm-derived proteins such as ... Read more...
