Anomalous Platelet Transport & Fat-Tailed Distributions [PDF]
The transport of platelets in blood is commonly assumed to obey an advection-diffusion equation. Here we propose a disruptive view, by showing that the random part of their velocity is governed by a fat-tailed probability distribution, usually referred to as a L\'evy flight.

Diagnosis of Spontaneous Massive Fetomaternal Hemorrhage: A Case Report and Literature Review
Fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) is the passage of fetal blood through the circulatory system of the mother either before or during delivery, and it is rarely diagnosed prenatally. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of the literature allowing us to offer comprehensive insights into the diagnosis and management of FMH.

An infant with Kawasaki disease having gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple gastric ulcers
Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis managed mainly through intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), aspirin, and steroids. Although gastrointestinal symptoms are common, gastrointestinal bleeding is rare. We present the case of an 11‐month‐old girl with incomplete KD who developed severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple ...

Collection and composition of autologous peripheral blood stem cells graft in patients with acute myeloid leukemia: influence on hematopoietic recovery and outcome [Skupljanje i sastav transplantata autolognih krvotvornih matičnih stanica periferne krvi u bolesnika s akutnom mijeloičnom leukemijom: utjecaj na hematološki oporavak i ishod] [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is a standard approach in the treatment of hematological malignant diseases. For the last 15 years the main source of cells for trasplantation have been peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC).
