Rescue splenic artery embolization in an adult patient of sickle cell disease presented with acute splenic sequestration crisis.

Background: Splenic sequestration crisis is a potentially fatal complication of sickle cell disease, mainly seen in young children. Only a few case series describe the acute splenic sequestration crisis in adults and its management, which primarily consists of supportive care and, in some cases, splenectomy. Splenic artery embolization has seldom been described in sickle cell disease.

Causing Fishbone Injury Cellulitis Leading to Sepsis in a Case of Hematological Malignancy-A Rare Report and Review of Literature.

( ), a gram-negative bacillus, a member of order , is typically a fish pathogen frequently isolated from fresh and brackish water environments. It is very rarely implicated in human infections such as gastroenteritis (most common), cellulitis, gas gangrene, hepatobiliary infections, peritonitis, empyema, and meningitis. Bacteremia/sepsis caused by can be fatal in humans, although very rare (<5%).

Core-binding factor abnormalities involving chromosome 16 in acute myeloid leukaemia: prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Core-binding factor (CBF) abnormality-associated myeloid neoplasms incorporate acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (CBF-AML) with translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22.1) ( fusion) and inv(16)(p13.1q22) or translocation t(16;16)(p13.

A rare maxillofacial manifestation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a 9-year-old child.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is considered as the most common malignant neoplasm of childhood and the frequent cause of death from cancer before 20-years of age. The facial swelling mimicking a maxillofacial tumor is rarely associated with ALL. Clinicians should be aware of such rare manifestation of ALL.

Usefulness of Leucocyte Cell Population Data by Sysmex XN1000 Hematology Analyzer in Rapid Identification of Acute Leukemia.

Unlabelled: Leukocyte cell population data (CPD) generated by hematology auto analyzers are reported to be useful in screening of sepsis patients. However, there is a paucity of literature highlighting the utility of CPD in screening of acute leukemias (AL). Leucocyte CPD obtained by Sysmex XN1000 hematology analyzer from 210 cases of ALs [22 acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), 79 non-APL acute myeloid leukemia (non-APL-AML) and 109 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)] were compared with 100 healthy and 52 reactive controls.

Bone marrow trephine immunohistochemistry is useful in characterizing malignancy-associated myelonecrosis: A retrospective observational study.

Objective: We aim to describe the utility of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in characterizing malignancy-associated myelonecrosis (MN) on bone marrow trephine biopsies (BMBx) as a part of initial workup.

Materials And Methods: Patten and intensity of antigenic immunoexpression in necrotic tumor cells on BMBx were evaluated in a series of cases using standardized avidin-biotin-complex immunoperoxidase technique after heat-induced epitope retrieval and compared the same with viable tumor cells wherever available.

Results: Fifteen out of 2494 (0.
