Purpose Of Review: The present review discusses in-depth about neurological complications following acute venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Recent Findings: Intracranial hemorrhage, acute ischemic cerebrovascular events, and VTE in brain tumors are described as central nervous system (CNS) complications of PE, while peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain are reported as peripheral nervous system (PNS) sequelae of PE. Syncope and seizure are illustrated as atypical neurological presentations of PE.
Background: Peripheral nerve injuries can be devastating complications of surgery, potentially resulting in severe functional disability and decreased quality of life. Long surgeries with considerable tissue manipulation, for example, liver transplantation, may present increased risk; however, neuropraxia in transplantation has not been well investigated.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of all adult patients undergoing liver transplantation at a large academic center between January 2013 and December 2015.
T cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) is a precursor T cell leukemia/lymphoma that represents approximately 15% of all childhood and 25% of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Although a high cure rate is observed in children, therapy resistance is often observed in adults and mechanisms leading to this resistance remain elusive. Utilizing public gene expression datasets, a fibrotic signature was detected in T-LBL but not T-ALL biopsies.
