Digital technology for health shows disparities in cancer prevention between digital health technology users and the general population in Romania.

Introduction: Digital health services and technology are rapidly developing following the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to reveal the differences between users of digital health technology (DHT) and the general population with regard to cancer prevention.

Materials And Methods: This was an observational study on a conventional sample of 270 DHT users with completed data, performed in September 2021.

The Philadelphia Chromosome, from Negative to Positive: A Case Report of Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) represents a continuous challenge for the clinician. Despite recent advances in treatment, the risk of relapse remains significant. The clinical, biological, cytogenetic, and molecular characteristics may be different at the time of relapse.

Platelet Defects in Acute Myeloid Leukemia-Potential for Hemorrhagic Events.

Background And Objectives: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), extensive bleeding is one of the most frequent causes of death. Impaired activation and aggregation processes were identified in previous studies on platelet behaviour associated with this disease. This study's aim was to examine platelet function in correlation with other haemorrhage risk factors (fever, sepsis, recent bleeding, uraemia, leucocytosis, haematocrit value, treatment).

Primary, secondary or less frequent causes of immune thrombocytopenia: A case report.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is characterized by isolated low platelet count and it is a diagnosis of exclusion, contrasting to secondary ITP. Therefore, a positive diagnosis is difficult and requires extensive investigation. Some of the underlying conditions that are associated with ITP are lymphoproliferative disorders and infections, especially viral ones.

POEMS syndrome complicated with multiple ischemic vascular events: case report and review of literature.

POEMS syndrome (acronym consisting of: polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, and skin changes) is an uncommon disorder associated with an underlying plasma cell dyscrasia. There is no single specific test for POEMS, and due to its rarity and heterogeneity, patients are often mis- or underdiagnosed. Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, closely related to POEMS syndrome; ~11%-30% of POEMS patients are associated with concomitant CD.
