Thromboembolic events in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): Real world data of a Greek nationwide multicenter retrospective study.

Thrombosis is the most common and a life-threatening complication in patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria. One-third of patients with PNH experience at least one thromboembolic event during the course of the disease, with thrombosis being the most common cause of death in these patients. The mechanism of thrombosis in PNH is complex and continues to be of great research interest.

Real world data on light chain cardiac amyloidosis: Still a delayed diagnosis.

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) represents a myocardial disorder developed by fibril deposition of a heterogeneous group of misfolding proteins. Despite being rare, a high clinical index of suspicion and novel advanced diagnostic methods seem to facilitate its early recognition. Currently nine types of cardiac amyloidosis have been described with AL and ATTR being the most common.

Bing-Neel Syndrome: Real-Life Experience in Personalized Diagnostic Approach and Treatment.

The involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare extramedullary manifestation of the disease known as Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS). To expand our understanding of this disease manifestation, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the incidence of BNS in 86 consecutive patients with WM [70% male, median age 65 years (range 33-86)] seen in our center during a 30-year period. Six patients (7%) from this group were diagnosed with BNS.
