Primary hemostasis dysfunctions and bleeding risk in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Background: Acute myeloid leukaemia carries the risk of complications associated with dysfunctions in haemostasis system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with the risk of bleeding in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

Methods: This study involved the methods of immunoenzymatic analysis and classical coagulation studies.

CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA COURSE IN PERSONS EXPOSED TO IONIZING RADIATION AS A RESULT OF THE CHORNOBYL ACCIDENT.

Objective: Describe and characterize the peculiarities of the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) course and responseto treatment in patients irradiated as a result of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant (ChNPP) accident based on theassessment of clinical-laboratory and clinical parameters.

Materials And Methods: The CML patients (n = 33) exposed to ionizing radiation as a result of the ChNPP accidentwere enrolled. The comparison group consisted of CML patients (n = 725) with no history of radiation exposure.
