Recipients of a partially T-cell-depleted (TCD) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) developing reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with quantified viral DNA levels exceeding 1000 genome equivalents/milliliter (geq/mL) are at high risk for EBV-lymphoproliferative disease (EBV-LPD). We studied whether preemptive therapy with rituximab prevents EBV-LPD, LPD-mortality, and abrogate...

BACKGROUND A low-protein diet (LPD) has been proposed for many years to delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy. However, the efficacy of an LPD with respect to renal outcome is disputed. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the effect of an LPD on renal function in patients with type 1 or 2 diabetic renal diseases by using a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. DESIGN Medline, E...

‘‘Even a penny will help!’’ is a donation solicitor’s effort in legitimating paltry donations in hopes of gaining higher compliance. This study reexamined the effect of Legitimization of Paltry Donation (LPD) in combination with Social Proof (SP) strategy. Participants were given one of four donation soliciting messages: simple request (control), LPD, SP, and LPD=SP. Compliance rate and size we...

Lymphoproliferative Disorder (LPD) is a complication of Methotrexate (MTX) therapy. Several cases Methotrexate-Associated (MTX-LPD) have been reported. However, pulmonary lesions in MTX-LPD are rare. Image findings show various patterns. Pneumocystis pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia, which complex courses, reported MTX-treated patients with lung diseases other than MTX-LPD. Furthermore, the...

In this work, we extend the existing local fractional Sumudu decomposition method to solve the nonlinear local fractional partial differential equations. Then, we apply this new algorithm to resolve the nonlinear local fractional gas dynamics equation and nonlinear local fractional Klein-Gordon equation, so we get the desired non-differentiable exact solutions. The steps to solve the examples a...

Lean Product Development (LPD) promises high product development success by strongly relying on knowledge. Though, despite many IT-based knowledge management tools exist to support and enable knowledge capture, use, formalization and reuse in product development, such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, their use within the LPD context is either low or not discussed. This research ai...

As an application of Hirota bilinear method, perturbation expansion truncated at different levels is used to obtain exact soliton solutions to (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation in much simpler way in comparison to other existing methods. We have derived bilinear form of nonlinear evolution equation and using this bilinear form, bilinear Backlund transformations and construction of ...

B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (B-LPD) is generally characterized by the proliferation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected B lymphocytes. We here report the development of EBV-negative B-LPD associated with EBV-reactivation following antithymocyte globulin (ATG) therapy in a patient with aplastic anemia. The molecular autopsy study showed the sparse EBV-infected clonal T cells could be cr...

Lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) are generally caused by uncontrolled B-cell proliferation induced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the setting of impaired EBV-specific T-cell immunity, particularly when there is pharmacological immunosuppression including antithymocyte globulin. We herein present an unusual case of EBV associated with LPD (EBV-LPD) in which LPD occurred 3 weeks after the...
