Aims: Diabetic cheiroarthropathies limit hand mobility due to fibrosis and could be markers of a global profibrotic trajectory. Heterogeneity in definitions and lack of a method to measure it complicate studying associations with organ involvement and treatment outcomes. We measured metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint extension as a metric and describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging determinants of MCP restriction.

Methods: This is a prospective observational case series of thirty-seven patients with repaired bucket-handle medial meniscus tear with a minimum one year follow-up. Meniscus healing rates were assessed on direct MRI and IMRA using Henning's criteria.

Chronic myelo-monocytic leukemia (CMML) is an aggressive myeloid neoplasm with some features of a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and others of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Rarely, patients with CMML have a co-existing lympho-proliferative disorder (LPD). In most cases, the lymphoid neoplasm is diagnosed first, and the CMML is considered to be a secondary therapy-induced form of leukemia.

Viscoelastic tests (VETs) are likely to be more useful for assessing coagulation status in these patients. We investigated whether the VET (Sonoclot) parameters with fibrinogen could predict coagulopathic bleeding in these patients.

Aims: The aim of the study was construe clinicopathological features, imaging findings, differential diagnosis, management, and follow-up of IPT involving the liver.
Settings And Design: It is a retrospective study.
Bone loss is common in advanced cirrhosis, although the precise mechanisms underlying bone loss in cirrhosis are unknown. We studied the profile and functionality of bone-forming cells and bone-building proteins in bone marrow (BM) of individuals with cirrhosis (n = 61) and individuals without cirrhosis as normal controls (n = 50). We also performed dual energy X-ray absorptiometry for clinical correlation.

Recent studies have highlighted the role of gut microbiome in regulation of constant and emergency hematopoiesis. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can disrupt the homeostatic or adaptive microbiota in cirrhosis, leading to impaired hematopoiesis and a higher susceptibility to infections.
