The introduction of immunotherapeutic agents has provided renewed hope for Chronic lymphocytic leukemia fludarabine-refractory patients. Several clinical trials have shown that alemtuzumab is a more effective option compared to combination chemotherapy for treatment of patients who have relapsed or who are refractory to fludarabine, including those with poor prognostic factors. Although there a...

The considerable heterogeneity in morphology, immunophenotype, genotype, and clinical behavior of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) hinders firm conclusions on the origin and differentiation stage of the neoplastic cells. Immunoglobulin (IG) gene usage and somatic mutation patterns were studied in a series of 43 SMZL cases. Clonal IGHV-D-J rearrangements were amplified in 42/43 cases (4 cas...

Aquatic ecological problems caused by pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are increasingly becoming an issue of concern. In this study, the seasonal spatial occurrence environmental risk 20 PPCPs were studied at 19 sampling points in surface waters Lianjiang River basin (southern China); its watershed is about 10,100 km2. Sample preparation was performed using solid-phase extracti...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Pneumocystis jiroveci (also known as P. carinii) causes fatal pneumonia in patients with AIDS and other immunocompromised patients. Co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim + sulphamethoxazole, TMP-SMZ) is the drug of choice for treatment and prophylaxis. Widespread use of sulpha medication has raised the possible selection of resistant P. jiroveci strains worldwide. Non-synonymous ...

Forestry operations have long been understood to contribute to non-point source pollution. With the implementation of federal regulations to thwart such pollution and protect water quality, North Carolina adopted rules called Forest Practice Guidelines (FPGs). This research assesses the efficacy of a specific FPG called Streamside Management Zones (SMZs) for the North Carolina Forest Service (N...

The discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was led by the merge of clustered cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia (PCP) in otherwise healthy people in the early 80's.1,2 In the face of sophisticated treatment now available for HIV infection, life expectancy approaches normal limits. It has dramatically changed the natural course of HIV from a nearly fatal infection to a chroni...
