Intermediate Syndrome Following Organophosphate Poisoning

Cytarabine Induced Acute Cerebellar Syndrome during Hyper-CVAD Treatment for B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Acute cerebellar syndrome can be caused by high doses of cytarabine, but it has not been described in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who received hyper-CVAD chemotherapy. Herein, we report two cases with histories of positive Philadelphia chromosome B-cell ALL who developed acute cerebellar syndrome after the exposure to relatively low doses of cytarabine in the second cycle o...

Rescue therapy combining intermediate-dose cytarabine with amsacrine and etoposide in relapsed adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

In all, 625 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) entered the Leucémie Aiguë Lymphoblastique de l'Adulte-94 trial from June 1994 to June 1999, and received a 4-week induction therapy followed either by chemotherapy alone or stem cell transplantation (SCT). In a clinical phase II study, 40 patients with standard- or high-risk ALL - except Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL -, relaps...

Retrospective Comparison of Fludarabine in Combination With Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine Versus High-Dose Cytarabine As Consolidation Therapies for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This retrospective study compared efficacy and safety of fludarabine combined with intermediate-dose cytarabine (FA regimen) versus high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC regimen) as consolidation therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who achieved complete remission. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) based on age (≥ 60, <60 years) and cytogenetics were evaluated from data be...
