ABSTRACT Background Patients with end‐stage liver disease (ESLD) often present with sarcopenia, defined as loss of skeletal muscle mass and quality, which is associated with reduced quality of life and increased mortality. However, the molecular mechanisms driving sarcopenia in ESLD are not fully understood and there are currently no therapeutic ...

Development of a Clinical Severity Score for Indian Sickle Cell Anaemia Patients
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a monogenic disorder but shows variable disease severity. We evaluated the utility of paediatric severity scores (PSS) in Indian patients and developed two modified scores: Indian Severity Score 1 (ISS1) by adding four clinical parameters to PSS, and ISS2 by excluding four biochemical measures from ISS1.

Biological Drivers of IMiD‐Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Multiple Myeloma
ABSTRACT The introduction of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), such as thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide, have led to significant improvements in multiple myeloma (MM) treatment. Many patients now live 10 years or longer with their disease, making treatment‐related side effects increasingly important.
