[Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma. Experience in 53 patients].

Background: Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (THA) in patients with multiple myeloma and amyloidosis is the standard of care to promote disease free survival and quality of life.

Aim: To report our experience with THA in patients with multiple myeloma.

Material And Methods: Retrospective review of the hematopoietic cell transplantation database of a hospital of a Medical School.

The thalloid liverwort Plagiochasma rupestre supports arbuscular mycorrhiza-like symbiosis in vitro.

In the present study, we obtained in vitro dual cultures between the liverwort Plagiochasma rupestre and two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi: Glomus intraradices and Glomus clarum. Four agarized culture media were tested for optimal growth of P. rupestre.

[Hairy cell leukemia during pregnancy: report of one case].

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare chronic B cell lymphoproliferative disorder that affects mostly men. It usually presents with pancytopenia, splenomegaly and bone marrow infiltration, without lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis is based on the presence of mononuclear cells with cytoplasmic projections in a blood smear, the typical bone marrow infiltration pattern and the immunophenotypic profile.
