Oberheim Ob-Xa Service Manual 3rd edition

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL is characterized by progressive accumulation of phenotypically mature malignant B lymphocytes. Primary sites of disease include peripheral blood, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes. Symptoms and signs may be absent or may include lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, fatigue, fevers, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, and early satiety. Diagnosis is by flow cytometry and immunophenotyping of peripheral blood.

Treatment is delayed until symptoms develop and generally involves chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However, treatments are evolving, and first-line regimens may include targeted agents such as inhibitors of Bruton tyrosine kinase Btk and Bcl-2, with or without chemotherapy.

See also Overview of Leukemia. Overview of Leukemia Leukemia is a malignant condition involving the excess production of immature or abnormal leukocytes, which eventually suppresses the production of normal blood cells and results in symptoms Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in the Western world. The American Cancer Society estimates that in the United States in there will be about 21, new cases of CLL and about deaths; most cases and almost all deaths will be in adults.

The average lifetime risk of CLL in both sexes is about 0. Although the cause of CLL is unknown, some cases appear to have a hereditary component. CLL is rare in Japan and China, and the incidence does not seem to be increased among Japanese expatriates in the United States, suggesting the importance of genetic factors. The B cells become continuously activated by acquisition of mutations that lead to monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis MBL. Further accumulation of genetic abnormalities and subsequent oncogenic transformation of monoclonal B cells leads to CLL.

Lymphocytes initially accumulate in the bone marrow and then spread to lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues, eventually inducing splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and systemic symptoms such as fatigue, fever, night sweats, early satiety, and unintentional weight loss. As CLL progresses, abnormal hematopoiesis results in anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and decreased immunoglobulin production. Hypogammaglobulinemia can develop in up to two thirds of patients, increasing risk for infectious complications.

Patients have increased susceptibility to autoimmune hemolytic anemias with a positive direct antiglobulin test and autoimmune thrombocytopenia. CLL can evolve into B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia and can transform to a higher grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of disorders involving malignant monoclonal proliferation of lymphoid cells in lymphoreticular sites, including lymph nodes, bone marrow, the Lymphadenopathy can be localized with cervical and supraclavicular nodes being the most commonly involved or generalized.

Splenomegaly and hepatomegaly are less common than lymphadenopathy. Skin involvement leukemia cutis is rare. Peripheral blood flow cytometry can confirm clonality in circulating B cells. Primary sites of disease include peripheral blood, bone marrow Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy are not required for the diagnosis of CLL.

Cytogenetic and molecular studies done from peripheral blood at the time of diagnosis help in determining prognosis. Classification uses the Rai or Binet staging systems.

Neither system effectively predicts early disease progression. N Engl J Med 6 —, The natural history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is highly variable. Patients presenting as Rai stage 0 to II may survive for 5 to 20 years without treatment. Lymphocyte doubling time is the number of months it takes the absolute lymphocyte count to double.

Untreated patients with a lymphocyte doubling time Specific high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities include del 17p and del 11q.

Other adverse prognostic features include an unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain variable gene, presence of CD38 on flow cytometry, and expression of ZAP Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is considered incurable with the current standard of care; treatment is aimed at symptom amelioration. Thus, treatment is withheld until patients have one of the following:. Because neutropenia and hypogammaglobulinemia limit bacterial killing, antibiotic therapy should be bactericidal.

There is no standard chemoimmunotherapy regimen. Selection of initial therapy depends on patient characteristics, disease-specific features such as presence of del 17p , and the overarching goals of therapy.

Purine analogs eg, fludarabine as well as alkylating agents eg, bendamustine , chlorambucil , cyclophosphamide have been used in combination with the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, rituximab.

Untreated patients who can tolerate chemotherapy are often offered the combination of fludarabine , cyclophosphamide , and rituximab. Alternatively, elderly untreated patients are often offered bendamustine and rituximab because this regimen is easier to tolerate 1 Treatment references Chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL is characterized by progressive accumulation of phenotypically mature malignant B lymphocytes.

CLL with del 17p is often refractory to chemoimmunotherapy, but ibrutinib has been shown to improve outcome. Ibrutinib is a novel, oral inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase Btk , an enzyme essential for activation of several pathways that enhance CLL cell survival.

Studies comparing ibrutinib monotherapy with ibrutinib plus chemoimmunotherapy are ongoing. In older patients with comorbid conditions, the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab is added to chlorambucil.

Obinutuzumab targets the same CLL cell surface protein as rituxumab. Obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil was recently found to be superior to rituximab plus chlorambucil in prolonging progression-free survival and achieving a complete response 2 Treatment references Chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL is characterized by progressive accumulation of phenotypically mature malignant B lymphocytes.

Relapsed or refractory CLL should be confirmed histologically before restarting treatment. Transformation to large cell lymphoma Richter's transformation should be excluded specifically.

Asymptomatic patients with recurrent CLL are monitored closely for symptoms that warrant treatment. Factors that influence choice of treatment at relapse include. Ibrutinib a Btk inhibitor can improve response rate and progression-free survival in relapsed or refractory CLL. Ibrutinib is continued until toxicity develops or disease progresses. Other effective targeted therapies for relapsed CLL included idelalisib an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3'-kinase [PI3K] delta and venetoclax an oral inhibitor of Bcl Venetoclax can be used for patients with del 17p who have received at least one prior therapy.

Monotherapy with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab , ofatumumab , obinutuzumab may transiently palliate symptoms.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Hematopoietic stem cell HSC transplantation is a rapidly evolving technique that offers a potential cure for hematologic cancers leukemias, lymphomas, myeloma and other hematologic disorders Palliative irradiation may be given to areas of lymphadenopathy or for liver and spleen involvement that does not respond to chemotherapy.

Total body irradiation in small doses is occasionally successful in temporarily relieving symptoms.

An Erratum to this article was published on 09 September Postoperative infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We investigated two serum markers for their ability to identify patients at risk for postoperative infection. Mannan-binding lectin MBL is a central molecule of the innate immune system and MBL deficiency is known to predispose to infection.

Perinatal asphyxia triggers an acute inflammatory response in the injured brain. The increase of mannose binding lectin MBL during asphyxia may contribute to the brain damage, via activation of the complement lectin pathway. The possible role of MBL2 gene variants in influencing the severity of post-asphyxia brain injuries is still unexplored. This retrospective study included 53 asphyxiated neonates: 42 underwent therapeutic hypothermia TH and 11 did not because they were admitted to the NICU later than 6 h after the hypoxic insult.

Although in the limelight in recent years, autophagy was first observed by electron microscopy over 40 years ago. Nevertheless, functional studies of autophagy did not progress rapidly because factors involved in the process remained unknown for a long period of time. As of , the number of ATG genes in budding yeast stands at Many of these genes are conserved in mammals and plants the amino acid sequence homology among species is limited, but the 3D structures are similar.
