Four cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in iatrogenic immunocompromised patients [PDF]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by John Cunningham Virus (JCV). We report four PML cases in immunocompromised patients, respectively treated with (1) Natalizumab, (2 ...

This is the first case report describing the diagnostic value of dot‐shaped inclusions associated with promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML‐NBs) to define JC virus–infected glial cells in an intraoperative cytopathological diagnosis for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is caused by reactivation of latently infected JCV when hosts' immune system is impaired by HIV infection, hematologic diseases, collagen diseases, immunemodulatory therapy and so on. PML was rare but HIV infection and Natalizumab have made it much more common while the prognosis is much better than ...

Thick distribution tails in models of cancer secondary tumors [PDF]
Recent progress in microdissection and in DNA sequencing has enabled subsampling of multi-focal cancers in organs such as the liver in several hundred spots, helping to determine the pattern of mutations in each of these spots. This has led to the construction of genealogies of the primary, secondary, tertiary and so forth, foci of the tumor.

An MRI assessment of mechanisms underlying lesion growth and shrinkage in multiple sclerosis
By applying the tensor model, we analysed lesion orientation and the directionality of lesion expansion/contraction in multiple sclerosis. Each lesion is summarized as an ellipsoid, and the tensor model is applied to calculate lesion anisotropy. From the top to the bottom white matter atlas, surface‐in gradient segmentation and venous atlas used in the

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy therapy [PDF]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is caused by the JC virus in the setting of chronic immune deficiency. Developing therapy has been challenged by the rarity of the disease as well as the complexity of patients in whom it develops. Several small trials directed at presumptive antiviral therapies have failed to show convincing clinical ...

Multifocal laser direct writing through spatial light modulation guided by scalable vector graphics [PDF]
Multifocal laser direct writing (LDW) based on phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) can realize flexible and parallel nanofabrication with high throughput potential. In this investigation, a novel approach of combining two-photon absorption, SLM and vector path guided by scalable vector graphics (SVG) has been developed and tested preliminarily ...

High fludarabine exposure and relationship with treatment-related mortality after nonmyeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation. [PDF]
Despite its common use in nonmyeloablative preparative regimens, the pharmacokinetics of fludarabine are poorly characterized in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients and exposure-response relationships remain undefined.
