Objective: A hypo-enhancement of the liver in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), pathologic one-minute hepatic enhancement (pOMHE), was recently observed in 70% of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients with a high-risk profile for veno-occlusive disease (VOD). Whether pOMHE was a pre-clinical sign of VOD or an unspecific feature of liver damage secondary to intensive chemotherapy is unclear.

Methods: To investigate this, we studied CEUS patterns in patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) or intensive induction therapy (IT) for the treatment of acute leukemia.

Article Synopsis
  • Olanzapine (OLZ) is an antipsychotic medication commonly used in adolescents, but studies on its serum concentration variability are limited.
  • The study measured OLZ serum concentrations in 85 patients, finding high intraindividual variability (1.04- to 10.7-fold) and significant influences from factors like dose, co-medications, and BMI.
  • The findings suggest that regular monitoring of OLZ serum levels is important for accurate treatment management in adolescents due to notable variability in individual responses.
