Diagnosis and Laboratory Follow-Up of Patients with Multiple Myeloma: Guideline...

Multiple myeloma is a neoplasm of plasma cells that in most cases is associated with the secretion of monoclonal immunoglobulins and can involve multiple organs. Its timely diagnosis is essential to limit or avoid irreversible damage and dysfunction of target organs. Appropriate initial stratification of patients allows for optimization in the selection and sequence of therapy, as well as proper follow-up durin...

Paraparesis Caused by Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Mass Compressing the Spinal ...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL-B) is the commonest adult-onset leukemia. Although extra-medullary disease has been reported, neurological consequences are seldom a concern. We aim to report an unusual case of a 66 years-old woman who developed subacute paraparesis due to dorsal (D2-D6) spinal cord compression by an extradural CLL mass, 2 years after CLL diagnosis.; A leucemia linfocítica crónica tipo ...

Methods: Since April 2020,...

Moderation and moderated mediation in the analysis of non-nutritive sucking pat...

Introduction: Stimulation of non-nutritive suction has been shown to influence the maturation process of nutritive suction. Objective: Analyze the effect of maturation on the suction pattern, mediated by the time of experience. Methods: Sample consisting of 34 newborns with an average gestational age of 33.2 weeks and an average experience time of 14.7 days. We used the suction pattern as a moderation model. Th...
