Autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) is an uncommon cause of myelofibrosis associated with favorable outcome. Primary AIMF, AIMF without a known systemic autoimmune disorder, has been described in adults, but never in children. Here, we present, for the first time, an apparent case of primary AIMF in a 15-year-old boy admitted with profound hypoproliferative anemia.

Activation and crosstalk between TNF family receptors in umbilical cord blood cells is not responsible for loss of engraftment capacity following culture.

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a rich source of hematopoietic progenitors for transplantation. Murine and human progenitors are insensitive to apoptotic signaling mediated by the TNF family receptors, however extension of culture over 48 hours is accompanied by severe deterioration in engraftment and hematopoietic reconstituting capacity. In this study we assessed crosstalk between the Fas, TNF and TRAIL receptors, and questioned whether it contributes to increased mortality and decreased activity of UCB progenitors following extended ex vivo culture for 72 hours.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed severe, irreversible visual loss in children with brain tumors caused by optic neuropathy, focusing on 10 patients who fell within specific criteria after reviewing data from a pediatric neuro-ophthalmology center.
- Among the children, initial visual assessments revealed varying degrees of blindness, with common factors like direct optic nerve compression and increased intracranial pressure contributing to their conditions, particularly post-surgery.
- The findings highlight that even successful tumor removal can lead to significant vision loss, particularly in 40% of cases where deterioration was noted during the perioperative period, necessitating awareness among clinicians regarding these risks.
Short-term neonatal outcome in low-risk, spontaneous, singleton, late preterm deliveries.

August 2009
From the Helen Schneider Hospital for Women and Nursery, Rabin Medical Center, Department of Neonatal Intensive Care, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel Petach Tikva, and Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Objective: To estimate the effect of gestational age on short-term neonatal morbidity in cases of spontaneous, low-risk singleton late preterm deliveries and to identify predictors of adverse neonatal outcome.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of all spontaneous, low-risk late preterm deliveries (34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks of gestation) during the years 1997 to 2006 (n=2,478). Multiple gestations and pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) or maternal or fetal complications were excluded.
