Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, but to the best of our knowledge, the association of AIHA and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) has not been reported previously. A 20-year-old woman presented with conjunctival jaundice, fever, asthenia, and hemoglobin 9.2 g/dL re...

A Section 3 registration is being requested for ShadeoutJ which contains the herbicide, rimsulfuron. This registration is for a new use of rimsulfuron to control weeds in tomato fields. The proposed tolerance for rimsulfuron on tomatoes is 0.1 ppm. The critical acute No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) was 500 mg/kg/day based on a ruffled fur and transient weight losses in rats after a single expos...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a clinically relevant complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Currently, there is no established consensus regarding the optimal therapeutic approach. Whether AIHA contributes to increased mortality is still somewhat controversial.We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of post-transplant AIHA in 265 co...

Isoxadifen-ethyl can effectively alleviate nicosulfuron injury in the maize. However, the effects of safener isoxadifen-ethyl on detoxifying enzymes in maize is unknown. The individual and combined effects of the sulfonylurea herbicide nicosulfuron and the safener isoxadifen-ethyl on the growth and selected physiological processes of maize were evaluated. Bioassays showed that the EC50 values o...

An 80-year-old male presented with dyspnea on exertion for at least two months. He also complained of progressive dysphagia and weight loss of 35 pounds over the last eight months. Initial blood tests showed hemoglobin of 6.1 g/dl, reticulocytes count of 19.7%, total bilirubin of 3.2 mg/dl, lactate dehydrogenase of 600 U/L, and haptoglobin of less than 8 mg/dl, and direct Coombs test was positi...

Between 10% and 25% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients have episodes of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) during the course of their disease. The anti-erythrocyte autoantibodies in most cases are polyclonal and express a different heavy chain isotype than the malignant clone, indicating that they are secreted by normal autoreactive B lymphocytes. To further investigate the pathogen...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is typically slow and difficult to establish. Field experiments evaluated switchgrass establishment and the response of warm-season grass weeds (large crabgrass [Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.], broadleaf signalgrass [Urochloa platyphylla (Munro ex C. Wright) r.D. Webster], Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) pers.], and Texas panicum [Urochloa texana (Buckl...
