BACKGROUND Several observational studies have shown that statin use may modify the risk of haematological malignancies. To quantify the association between statin use and risk for haematological malignancies, we performed a detailed meta-analysis of published studies regarding this subject. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of multiple databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane L...

BACKGROUND Reference ranges for haematological and other laboratory tests in most African countries are based on populations in Europe and America and, because of environmental and genetic factors, these may not accurately reflect the normal reference ranges in African populations. AIM To determine the distribution of haematological parameters in healthy individuals residing in Blantyre, Mala...

A girl with the syndrome of thrombocytopenia with absent radius had severe diarrhoea and dehydration relieved by withdrawal of cows' milk and aggravated by its reintroduction on three occasions.

INTRODUCTION There is currently little information regarding the incidence of hypomagnesaemia and its impact on the prognosis of critically ill patients with haematological malignancies.
