Lactic Acidosis: A Novel Presentation of Intravascular Lymphoma.

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare form of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that preferentially grows intravascularly within the capillaries and often has a fatal course. Most of the patients have advanced and disseminated disease at the time of presentation. It is often arduous to make the diagnosis during the antemortem period due to the multitude of presenting symptoms.

Open to interpretation: An integrated primary care behavioral health training approach for treating linguistically diverse patients.

Introduction: Integrated primary care settings serve an increasingly high volume of linguistically diverse patients. In English language-dominant countries, limited English proficiency (LEP) is associated with disparities in access and quality of behavioral health (BH) care. Interpretive services (IS) aim to address these disparities by assisting in the delivery of clinical care between patients and providers who speak different languages.

GLUT1 Immunohistochemistry Is a Highly Sensitive and Relatively Specific Marker for Erythroid Lineage in Benign and Malignant Hematopoietic Tissues.

Objectives: Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), a glucose transporter, is an abundant protein in erythrocytes with expression beginning early in erythropoiesis. We sought to evaluate the utility of GLUT1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a diagnostic marker for identifying erythroid differentiation in hematopoietic tissues, including neoplastic erythroid proliferations.

Methods: A variety of benign and neoplastic bone marrow biopsy specimens containing variable proportions of erythroid precursors were selected (n = 46, including 36 cases of leukemia).
