Objective: We aimed to anlayse the relationship between anti-Xa activity below range and thomboembolic events.
Design: Single center prospective observational longitudinal cohort study (February-November 2021).
Setting: Patients admitted to the ICU of a University Hospital.
Introduction: Rare bleeding disorders (RBD) constitute 5% of total hereditary bleeding disorders, although the number could be higher, due to the presence of undiagnosed asymptomatic patients. The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of patients with severe RBDs in our area.
Material And Methods: We analyzed the patients with RBD followed at a tertiary-level hospital between January 2014 and December 2021.
Background: The main causes of failure of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-transplant) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are relapse and transplant-related mortality. Different scores have been designed to predict the prognosis of these patients. The objective of this study was to assess which score or combination has better outcome predictive capacity.

We performed a retrospective study covering a 28-year follow-up period (1991-2018) in a tertiary single institution.
Material And Methods: Data of 403 MM patients were recorded and compared with the epidemiologic register of the population area covered by our centre, calculating the standardize incidence ratio (SIR) for the different types of SPMs diagnosed in the MM cohort.
Aim: To assess the double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) role in malignant small bowel tumors (MSBT).
Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study performed in a single center. All consecutive patients who underwent a DBE with final diagnosis of a malignant neoplasm from 2004 to 2014 in our referral center were included.
