Case Report: Pure Red Cell Aplasia due to Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma.

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare bone marrow failure characterized by a progressive normocytic anemia and reticulocytopenia without leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. It can be associated with various hematological disorders but exceedingly rarely with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL).

This study aims to assess patient and system delays according to diagnosis and risk profile, and to identify p...

Prediction of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Systemic Lupus Erythemat...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, autoimmune disease associated with major obstetrical complications such as gestational loss, preterm delivery, fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preeclampsia. Published literature is not consensual regarding the main risk factors for each of these outcomes. Our goal with this study was to determine the most important predictors for each of the main adverse pregn...
