Changes of the intensity of light reflected or passing through cuvette with the blood specify the degree of blood aggregation. The parameters of light reflection by the surface of blood in macro-cuvette are compared with those of light passage through a thin micro-cuvette with preliminarily stirred blood. The latter technique enables a direct microscopy of the erythrocytes aggregation. Virtually similar results were obtained with blood of different animals and with different values of hematocrit. The data suggest a correlation between velocity of the aggregation and increase of the hematocrit value. Causes of discrepancies of the absolute values of parameters under study are discussed.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL). Previous studies reported higher rates of post- hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in patients receiving InO versus chemotherapy prior to HSCT. It is unknown if a lower InO dose would reduce risk of post-HSCT SOS or if it would impact efficacy.

Gsx2 is a homeodomain transcription factor critical for development of the ventral telencephalon and hindbrain of the mouse. Loss of Gsx2 function results in severe basal ganglia dysgenesis as well as defects in the nucleus tractus solitarius (nTS) of the hindbrain together with respiratory failure at birth.
