Complication begets clarification in classification

Lymphoma Classification Proposal: Clarification

In a recent issue of Blood, the International Lymphoma Study Group (ILSG) presented a list of lymphoid neoplasms derived by consensus, and suggested that it could serve as a practical classification of these tumors for both pathologists and clinicians.’ Each of the entities on the list represents a clearly recognizable and distinct disease, based on currently available morphologic, immunologic,...

Death begets failure in the heart.

Recently, low--but abnormal--rates of cardiomyocyte apoptosis have been observed in failing human hearts. Genetic and pharmacological studies suggest that this cell death is causally linked to heart failure in rodent models. Herein, we review these data and discuss potential therapeutic implications.

Atrial fibrillation begets trouble.

Hypertension begets hypertrophy begets atrial fibrillation? Insights from yet another sheep model.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects approximately two million patients in the USA and an equal number in Europe and increases morbidity and mortality in affected patients and population worldwide. Although acute conversion of AF to sinus rhythm can be achieved in almost all patients, therapeutic options to maintain sinus rhythm (repeated cardioversions, anti-arrhythmic drugs, catheter ablation, or...
