The reported case of probable superfecundation is apparently the most extensively tested of all published cases: More than 40 specificities of the HLA Loci A and B, 5 of the Locus C, Bf and GLO I, furthermore ABO, MNSs, DCcCwEe, K 1--6, Fya, Fyb, Jka, Jk5, Lu3, Hp, Gc, Gm 1, 2, 4, 5, 21, Km 1, C3, Tf including C-subtypes, Pi, Bg, ACP, PGM1 including the extended polymorphism by PAGIF, AK1, ADA, 6-PGD, EsD, GPT, GALT, CAII and Hb. A reciprocal exclusion for putative father 1 and putative father 2 to the twin 2 and the twin 1, respectively, has been reached in 7 blood group systems: HLA, MNSs, Lu, Hp, Tf, Bg and GPT. The random probability for the fatherhood of an unknown third man suitable for both twins is extremely low among whites (1 : 10(8)) or blacks (1 : 10(9)). The development of paternity investigations within the last two years, mainly basing on isoelectrofocusing techniques, is shortly reported. The following systems are preferably involved: PGM1 (4 common alleles), Gc (including 1F and 1S), Pi (3 common subspecificities of M), C6, Tf (3 common subspecificities of C), FUC, Apo E, C2.

To assess efficacy and safety of dapsone in adult immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a real-word study cohort were performed. Participants were adults with primary ITP, transient response to corticosteroids ± intravenous immunoglobulin, and a platelet count ≤ 30x109/L (or ≤ 50x109/L with bleeding). Patients in the RCT were randomized in arm A (prednisone x3weeks+dapsone for 12 months) or arm B (prednisone alone).

However, ATO administration requires daily infusions over several months, representing an onerous burden for hospitals and patients. We evaluated the bioavailability of a novel encapsulated oral ATO formulation in APL patients in first complete remission during standard-of-care consolidation.

Objective: To identify markers associated with pressure injury (PrI) history in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) using two approaches: skin blood flow (SBF) response toward localized heating, and serum marker for insulin resistance.
Methods: For this cross-sectional, observational study of adults with chronic traumatic SCI at T12 and above, researchers recruited two groups of participants: with history of PrI (group 1), and without history of PrI (group 2). The study protocol included obtaining fasting blood samples and measurement of SBF at bilateral heels with localized heating of 42 °C for 30 minutes from all participants.
Objective: Aim: To investigate the effect of succinic acid on the humoral component of the immune system in rats.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on two groups of mature non-linear white rats (males) of similar weight (200-270 g, aged 6-8 months), with 5 animals in each group. The control group was fed a standard diet with free access to water throughout the experiment.
