Eithne01,
The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML.
Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.
Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state.
For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection.
Good luck.
Hi.
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in the pleripotent stem cell. It has several phases: indolent chronic or stable phase, aggressive or advanced phase, and accelerated and blastic phase. The transition between phases may take years (on the average, 4 to 6 years from the stable phase to aggressive phase).
Average survival rates are generalizations, not applicable to a particular patient. The prognosis is relatively good. Newer techniques are being tried, including imatinib and stem cell transplantation.
All the best, and God Bless!
TY for the reply. Yes I was told and am thinking that its parasitc or allergy. I went to aruba in June but that wouldn't have an affect on me now, would it?
Therapy with corticosteroids is used for the treatment of most and additional therapy is available and dependent upon the type of HS. Newer medicines such as imatinib and mepolizumab are said to be promising. So, should your son have HS, there is reason to be optimistic regarding a positive response to currently available therapy.
You should request, of his doctor, an additional explanation for the tentative diagnosis of pre-hypertension.
Good luck.
No. Some indications are diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, IUGR, low/high amniotic fluid, advanced maternal age, Uncomplicated pregnancies may not get NSTs.
Recent MRI of post coiled aneurysm. Report indications increased signal intensity in left frontal cortex - small area of remote infarction. No evidence of diffusion restriction to define area of acute infarction. What does this mean?
pylori are usually able to be seen by the human eye in the stomach. Most often there are indications at the surface of the tissue - the surgeon sees those, and biopsies at those locations.
But this says you don't have H. pylori, but do have indications of gastritis at the surface.
Another way to check would be to run a breath test. In that test, the H.
ZADAXIN is approved in over 30 countries worldwide for five different clinical indications (shown in table below). Currently approved indications are:
* Chronic Hepatitis B
* Chronic Hepatitis C
* Cancer Adjuvant
* Vaccine Enhancer
* Immunostimulant
but this drug is only approveed in the US to treat liver cancer.
anybody has any experience with this drug? Thank you.
I agree that regular exercise stress tests without imaging are rarely done anymore, but there are still some valid indications.
Im 3 days away from my due date and i havent gotten any labor indications . with my son ( this is baby #2) . i had him at 38 weeks 4 days .
Could you be thinking of Topamax, which can have the side effect of weight loss when used for other indications, so is sometimes used for that purpose?
Hi, according to certain studies done, vestibular autorotation test (VAT) is experimental and investigational for the diagnosis of individuals with vestibular disorders or any other indications because its sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and clinical utility have not been demonstrated. Regards.
1) the presence of symptoms (back, chest pain), 2) the rate of growth of the aneurysm (> 1 cm/year), or 3) the overall size of the aneurysm - in which typically 5 cm is the cutoff. However, there are certain conditions that change the indications including a history of Marfan's disease (4.5 cm), bicuspid aortic valve (4.5 cm).
t mean that you are at risk of cancer until the doctor finds out any symptoms or indications related to it.
About 5-6 weeks after starting on a T4 med like Synthroid it should reach full effect on serum levels of Total T4 and Free T4. There are anecdotal indications that conversion of T4 to T3 may continue to increase for a while after that. In other words it is believed that it takes some time for the conversion process to ramp up to full effect.
