Background: The purpose of this case report is to describe nerve mobilization in the treatment of lower extremity neuropathic pain in a female collegiate long jumper.

Case Description: A 21 year-old long jumper presented 7 months after onset of ankle and leg pain.

A clinical trial for patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes not eligible for standard clinical trials.

Most clinical trials exclude patients with poor performance or comorbidities. To study whether patients with these characteristics can be treated within a clinical trial, we conducted a study for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with poor performance, organ dysfunction or comorbidities. Primary endpoint was 60-day survival.

Mechanisms of apoptosis sensitivity and resistance to the BH3 mimetic ABT-737 in acute myeloid leukemia.

BCL-2 proteins are critical for cell survival and are overexpressed in many tumors. ABT-737 is a small-molecule BH3 mimetic that exhibits single-agent activity against lymphoma and small-cell lung cancer in preclinical studies. We here report that ABT-737 effectively kills acute myeloid leukemia blast, progenitor, and stem cells without affecting normal hematopoietic cells.
