Dasatinib Produces Lengthy Remissions of Extramedullary Leukemia: A Retrospective Observational Study

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since 2004, patients receiving imatinib with relapse in non‐marrow sites were given dasatinib to preserve control of leukemic marrow. Remissions in CNS and other organs began to be reported and are continuously observed to present.

Developing a Core Outcome Set for Clinical Trials of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Lumbar Disc Herniation

Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely used in managing lumbar disc herniation (LDH), but heterogeneous outcome reporting in its trials hinders evidence synthesis. This study intends to develop a core outcome set (COS) for TCM‐LDH to standardize reporting and improve research quality. Methods Candidate outcomes were identified

Immediate cortical glial alterations following spinal cord injury: Evidence from a novel in vitro model

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers immediate and widespread pathophysiological changes not only at the site of impact but also beyond it, including alterations in remote cortical regions. Here, we report early astrocytic changes in the cerebral cortex following SCI at birth, identified using two specific glial markers in an innovative in vitro ...
