Mantle cell lymphoma: observation to transplantation.

Mantle cell lymphoma as a rare non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma can present in different clinical presentations such as an aggressive form or a more indolent picture. Treatment modality is based on multiple factors including age, presence or absence of symptoms, and comorbidities. Watchful waiting is a reasonable approach for asymptomatic patients especially in elderly.

The clinical outcome after extra-articular colles fractures with simultaneous moderate scapholunate dissociation.

Background An increased scapholunate gap is sometimes seen in patients with a distal radial fracture. The question remains as to whether this represents a scapholunate ligament injury that requires treatment. Questions/purposes We wished to examine the natural history of an increased scapholunate gap in patients following an extra-articular distal radial fracture.

[The significance of displacement in dorsally angled distal radial fractures].

Background: Distal radial fractures occur very frequently. Most are dorsally displaced (Colles' fracture). In contrast to previously, approximately a quarter of these patients now undergo surgery.
