Published: November 2007

Skeletal localizations are a rare complication in hairy cell leukaemia patients, with an estimated incidence of 3%. These lesions, mainly osteolytic, can occur at various sites and are almost always symptomatic. Localized radiation therapy (RT) has been extensively used as effective palliative treatment in such cases, with different total doses and fractionation schedules. In this article, a systematic review of all reported cases with osseous complications is presented, to underline the role of RT and to define the most appropriate approach in this subset of patients.

The present study was conducted on specific skeletal muscles of six weaned male kids from each of the Angora, Hair, Honamlı, and Kilis goat breeds. The relationships between the expression of myogenic factor 5 (Myf5) and myogenic factor 6 (Myf6) genes and muscle fibre characteristics were analysed. Muscle samples from the longissimus dorsi (LD) and semitendinosus (ST) were collected from six 90-day-old weaned male kids of each breed.

Summary: Short stature is a common complaint among pediatric visits and the differential diagnosis is extensive. Although some variations in growth are normal, deviation from normal growth is often the first symptom of chronic disease in children. This is true for hormone abnormalities including growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism and glucocorticoid excess.

Photobiomodulation and aquatic training reduce TNF-α expression and enhance muscle fiber area in Wistar rats with compensatory hypertrophy.

Lasers Med Sci

January 2025

Postgraduate Program in Rehabilitation Sciences, Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE), 235/249 Vergueiro Street, Sao Paulo, SP, 01525000, Brazil.

This study aims to assess the effects of aquatic training (AT) and its combination with photobiomodulation (PBM) on cytokine synthesis and plantar muscle morphology during compensatory hypertrophy (H) in Wistar rats. H was induced by bilateral ablation of synergistic muscles, and PBM using a laser (780 nm). AT involved 60 min sessions, 5 times/week, for 7 and 14 days.

18F-Sodium Fluoride PET/CT as a Tool to Assess Enthesopathies in X-Linked Hypophosphatemia.

Calcif Tissue Int

January 2025

Endocrinology Department, School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Av. Diagonal Paraguay 262, Cuarto Piso, Santiago, Chile.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by elevated FGF23 and chronic hypophosphatemia, leading to impaired skeletal mineralization and enthesopathies that are associated with pain, stiffness, and diminished quality of life. The natural history of enthesopathies in XLH remains poorly defined, partly due to absence of a sensitive quantitative tool for assessment and monitoring. This study investigates the utility of 18F-NaF PET/CT scans in characterizing enthesopathies in XLH subjects.
