Background: Previous studies about the relationship between bone marrow megakaryocyte count and the chronicity of ITP has yielded paradoxical results. The aim of the present study was to investigate any relationship between the megakaryocyte count in the bone marrow and the chronicity of ITP. Materials and Methods: This study was performed to compare the primary bone marrow aspiration megakar...

  Background and Objectives: Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) is a rare and ominous complication of wide variety of diseases including hematologic malignancy. This study was performed to identify frequency and the underlying associated diseases of marrow necrosis. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, totally 850 bone marrow trephine biopsies related to living patients at the Pathology ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In cases of metastatic disease of the spine, monitoring the response to medical therapy with plain radiography, bone scanning, and conventional spin-echo sequence MR imaging is unsatisfactory because of the insensitivity or nonspecific findings of these imaging modalities. The purpose of this study was to investigate signal intensity changes of bone marrow after therapy b...

Purpose/Introduction: To prospectively investigate the relationship among vertebral marrow fat content,marrow apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),and bone mineral densities(BMD) documented with dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in postmenopausal women. Subjects and Methods: Institutional study approval and informed consent were obtained. Sixty postmenopausal women (mean, 61.7±4.9 years;range, 55-...

hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (hspcs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/cxcr4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

conclusions the results of this study showed that the meticulous microsurgical nerve repair, which was performed using the vein tubulization induced significantly better sciatic nerve regeneration. however, the addition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell to vein conduit failed to promote any significant changes in regeneration outcome. results all animals tolerated the surgical procedures and...

background: the purpose of this study was to find the accurate absorbed dose in the femur bone marrow during the x-ray radiography for constant mas and aec techniques. materials and methods: the dosxyznrc was used to simulate radiation doses in two human femurs during diagnostic radiography. egsnrc phantoms produced from actual ct images of human femurs were modified by adding seven micrometre ...

introduction: it is an unfamiliar, frightening and stressful experience for the parents of a child who is undergoing bone marrow transplantation. it is impossible to propose an effective caring method without considering all dimensions related to such experience. objective: the purpose of this study was to describe and understand the lived experiences of parents whose children were undergoing b...
