Within recent years glucose tolerance has been used as a means of investigating disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism, especially when following disorders of the endocrine system. In such tests it has generally been accepted that a normal adult, of about 60 kgrm. weight, can ingest and metabolize 100 grm. of glucose without the appearance of glycosuria. The ability to deal with more than this...

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), previously known as blastic natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma, is a rare, aggressive tumor, which primarily affects the elderly (mean age 61-67 years), although it can occur at any age, including childhood. The cell of origin, previously believed to be the NK cell, is derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cell committed hematopoietic precursor...

Extramedullary myeloid sarcoma (MS, also known as granulocytic sarcoma, myeloblastoma or chloroma) is a rare form (o1%) of extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presenting without bone marrow involvement. Due to the rarity of this disease, contemporary clinical data are mostly limited to small case series. The prognostic factors and outcomes of extramedullary MS are unclear. Similar to AM...
