Irinotecan and temozolomide for Ewing sarcoma: the Memorial Sloan-Kettering experience.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: The prognosis for recurrent/progressive Ewing sarcoma (ES) remains poor. Pre-clinical, adult phase I and II trials have demonstrated the combination of irinotecan and temozolomide to have schedule-dependent synergy and significant ... Read more...

Transarterial embolization of a scalp hemangioma presenting with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.

30 Oct 2009 A 2-month-old infant presented with an enlarging scalp hemangioma and consumptive coagulopathy. The patient became severely thrombocytopenic despite medical treatment. Transarterial embolization with Onyx was performed with significant reduction in ... Read more...

Platelet depletion and aspirin treatment protect mice in a two-event model of transfusion-related acute lung injury.

3 Oct 2009 Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is the leading cause of transfusion-associated mortality in the US. Previously, we established an immune-mediated TRALI mouse model, wherein mice with cognate antigen were challenged with MHC class I ... Read more...
