4%, Hodgkin lymphoma 5.0% and other 11.9%. Causes of death were disease progression/relapse (65.2%), second malignancy (17.0%), infection (9.8%) and other (8.0%). Non-relapse mortality was 1.2% (95% confidence interval 0.4-3.0) and 3.2% (1.7-5.7) at 100 days and 1 year, respectively, post-HSCT. Overall survival at 2 years was 81.0% (73.8-86.4) for…[Read more]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory impairment. Adenosinergic receptors are considered as a potential alternative in the management of several neurodegenerative disorders. However, there is no information available on the role of A2b receptor in the pathophysiology of AD. Therefore, the…[Read more]

These genes are involved in several mechanisms affecting pigmentation. Significant associations for the eye depigmented patterns were also identified for SNPs on two SSC4 regions (including two candidate genes NOTCH2 and PREX2) and on SSC6, SSC8 and SSC14 (including COL17A1 as candidate gene). This study provided useful information to understand…[Read more]

Background Cold-stored platelets are an attractive option for treatment of actively bleeding patients due to a reduced risk of septic complications and preserved hemostatic function compared to conventional room temperature-stored platelets. However, refrigeration causes increased platelet activation and aggregate formation. Specialized…[Read more]
