- Many cases of erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis are still classified as "idiopathic" due to factors like lack of secondary causes or inconclusive tests, despite advancements in genetic testing.
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was reviewed in 175 patients, leading to diagnoses in a small number: 5.1% for polycythaemia vera and 6.8% for familial erythrocytosis, with low EPO levels and family history being predictors.
- The study found a higher success rate in diagnosing thrombocytosis cases, with 25.9% identified as having essential thrombocythemia, but overall, the low variant detection rate suggests the need for comprehensive initial screening before using N
Background: Smoking is responsible for 80 % of cases of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), while the prognosis is improved by smoking cessation (SC). We examined clinical factors associated with SC among smokers with COPD comparing women and men.
Methods: The study comprised a cohort of 1470 smokers who visited a SC service and completed at least 28-day of follow-up visits.
Background: The aim of this study is to present the current views of a diverse group of experts on the diagnosis and treatment of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) in children under 2 years of age in Mexico.
Material And Methods: The study, led by a scientific committee of five experts in CMPA, was divided into six phases, including a modified Delphi process. A total of 20 panelists, all of whom were pediatric specialists, participated in administering a comprehensive 38-item questionnaire.
