Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology

Abstract

A 36-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. Ultrasound examination of the abdomen showed dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts and a normal common bile duct. No calculi were demonstrated. A computerized tomography scan did not show any masses. A peripheral blood smear was diagnostic of acute myeloid leukemia. After remission-inducing chemotherapy, there was a complete regression of the jaundice, which had not recurred at the 12-month follow-up.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
