Granulocytic sarcomas are rare manifestations of diseases of the white corpuscles. The incidence of this type of disease is not yet known because it is so rare. We observed two patients, who had had a chronic myeloid leukemia for several years, and in whom such a tumor occurred during the development of a blastomatous crisis. Both patients were examined by MRI. With this method it is possible to depict changes of the bone marrow as well as extramedullary lesions. MRI is a highly sensitive, but a less specific method.

Background: Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is essential for maintaining redox homeostasis and regulating energy metabolism. Abnormal expression of UCP2 has been associated with various tumors, including leukemia. Genipin (GEN), a specific inhibitor of UCP2, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive liver disease with lipid accumulation, inflammation, and liver fibrosis. Ponatinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, was found to improve metabolic disorders in mice. However, the role of ponatinib in liver inflammation and fibrosis remains to be elucidated.

Background: The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia through tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has achieved promising efficacy and safety outcomes, however the costs are associated with a substantial economic burden. The objective of this study was to develop a Markov model with a 20-year time horizon to assess the cost effectiveness of TKIs from a public healthcare system perspective in South Africa.
Methods: We constructed a Markov model to compare three strategies in which treatment was initiated with either imatinib, nilotinib, or dasatinib.
