Abstract

Acute tumour lysis syndrome (ATLS) is a metabolic derangement (hyperuricaemia, hyperphosphataemia, hyperkalaemia and hypocalcaemia) associated with lymphoproliferative malignancies. The nature and severity of the metabolic alterations are variable. Major complications are oliguric acute renal failure and delays in initiating chemotherapy. Current management of ATLS includes hydration, alkalinization, diuretics, when indicated, and the reduction of uric acid levels using allopurinol or urate oxidase. Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that catalyses the conversion of hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid. Urate oxidase (Uricozyme), a naturally occurring proteolytic enzyme in many mammals, degrades uric acid to allantoins, which are ten times more soluble than uric acid and easily eliminated by the kidneys. Recently, Sanofi Research isolated a recombinant urate oxidase (SR29142) as a cDNA clone from Aspergillus flavus, expressed in the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Preclinical studies have documented its biological effects as a urolytic enzyme. Twenty-eight healthy male volunteers received SR29142, and a rapid decline of uric acid below measurable levels was seen within 4 h in all patients receiving a dose...Continue Reading

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Aspergillosis (ASM)

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

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.
