Article Synopsis
  • Hydroxyurea (HU) is the primary treatment for essential thrombocythemia (ET), but there are no clear guidelines for when to switch therapies.
  • In a study of 1080 patients, 67% achieved a complete hematological response (CHR) after five years, with high-risk patients showing lower risks of arterial thrombosis if they achieved CHR.
  • Patients with HU resistance or intolerance had a higher chance of developing myelofibrosis, but this did not significantly impact overall survival or thrombotic risk; CHR is linked to improved outcomes and may guide future treatment decisions.

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a type of focal epilepsy characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures originating from the hippocampus. The epigenetic reprogramming hypothesis of epileptogenesis suggests that the development of TLE is associated with alterations in gene transcription changes resulting in a hyperexcitable network in TLE. DNA 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) is an epigenetic mechanism that has been associated with chronic epilepsy.
