Real-world data on direct oral anticoagulants in BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs): a multicenter retrospective study on behalf of scientific subcommittee on MPNs for Turkish society of hematology.

BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) pose a substantial risk of thrombosis, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Anticoagulant therapy, historically based on vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), has limitations in preventing recurrent thrombotic events and managing bleeding complications. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) offer a potential alternative with improved pharmacokinetics and compliance.

Evaluation of contraception methods in chronic myeloid leukemia patients: A Turkish multicenter study.

Background And Aim: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) incidence has recently increased in younger individuals. With time, given the nature of the disease and available therapies, as well as the existing paucity and inconsistency of advice, worries about fertility have surfaced. With all these clear unknowns, we designed this study to raise awareness among both physicians and CML patients about whether male and female patients of childbearing age were using contraception at the time of diagnosis, and if so, which methods they were using.

Impact of and V617F Mutations on Clinical Course and Disease Outcomes in Essential Thrombocythemia: A Multicenter Retrospective Study in Turkish Patients.

Objective: In this study, we investigated the effects of calreticulin () and V617F mutational status on clinical course and disease outcomes in Turkish patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET).

Materials And Methods: Seventeen centers from Türkiye participated in the study and - and V617F-mutated ET patients were evaluated retrospectively.

Results: A total of 302 patients were included, of whom 203 (67.

Correction to: Efects of AGEs, sRAGE and HMGB1 on Clinical Outcomes in Multiple Myeloma.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1007/s12288-022-01574-6.].

Effects of AGEs, sRAGE and HMGB1 on Clinical Outcomes in Multiple Myeloma.

Purpose: The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) upregulated during the onset and progression of cancer and bone-related pathologies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs), soluble RAGE (sRAGE) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), in multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: AGEs, sRAGE and HMGB1 concentrations of 54 newly diagnosed MM patients and 30 healthy volunteers were measured by ELISA.

Evaluation of a Generic Bortezomib Molecule in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients.

Objective: Constantly increasing health expenditures lead to the use of generic molecules and generic versions of bortezomib have been used for a long time. The aim of this study is to retrospectively examine the effectiveness, side effects, and reliability of generic bortezomib in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients.

Materials And Methods: The data of 95 patients who received four cycles of bortezomib as first- or second-line therapy in a single center were retrospectively recorded.

Serum calprotectin (S100A8/A9) levels as a new potential biomarker of treatment response in Hodgkin lymphoma.

Introduction: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is unusual among malignancies, with inflammation playing such a prominent role in its pathogenesis. S100A8/A9 (calprotectin) is a heterodimeric protein, which has a role in the inflammatory response and oncogenesis. In this study in HL patients, the correlation between serum S100A8/A9 levels and treatment responses was investigated along with whether this marker is correlated with other inflammatory markers.

Factors affecting inadequate response to HBV vaccine in hemodialysis patients: northeast anatolia survey with six hemodialysis centers.

Background: In hemodialysis patients Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the problems. Because of HBV vaccine response is lower than in the general population, in this study it is aimed to determine the factors that may cause inadequate HBV vaccine response in hemodialysis patients.

Methods: In study, HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc IgG data belonging to 278 patients were obtained from file and computer records.

IPSET-Thrombosis Better Identifies Thrombosis-Free Survival: A Turkish Cohort.

Introduction: Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is the most common of the myeloproliferative neoplasms. For better predicting the occurrence of thrombotic events, an International Prognostic Score of Thrombosis for ET (IPSET-Thrombosis) was recently developed. We aimed to investigate the validity of IPSET-Thrombosis in a Turkish patient cohort and to compare the efficacy of IPSET-Thrombosis and conventional risk scoring systems in predicting thrombosis-free survival.
