Comparison of time frame critical for feed supplement on haematological indices of azawak cattle in semi–arid zone of Niger Republic

Alassan NA*; Muhammad IR; Maigandi; Issa S

    The haematological parameters of apparently healthy of Azawak cattle consisting of 36 animals (18 bulls and 18 heifers) at CERRA, Maradi in semi–arid zone in Niger Republic were studied. Data were analyzed for the effect of the time frame critical for utilization of feed supplement per sex. According a time frame critical for utilization of feed supplementation (bull and heifer) higher and lower values of Packed Cell Volume (PCV) was obtained from S2DM (26.32±3.78%) and NS (23.44±4.26%), there was no significantly lower (P>0.05) for Azawak cattle breed in semi–arid zone. Haemoglobin (Hb) values was higher from S2DM (10.66±0.57 g/dl) and lower SMED (9.92±1.28 g/dl).


Minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma

Camilo SG Humphrey; Alberto Rocci*

    The introduction of novel compounds such as the second-generation proteasome inhibitors, new immunomodulatory agents and monoclonal antibodies (mAb) determined a consistent improvement in the depth of response in patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) [1]. A three drugs combination as induction followed by Autologous Stem Cells Transplant (ASCT) determines Complete Remission (CR) in more than 50% of the patients and this may increase if consolidation and maintenance are included following ASCT [2].

Chin-Hin Ng; Zhaojin Chen*; Christopher Ng; Elaine Seah; Eugene Fan; Grace Kam; Evelyn Siew-Chuan Koay; Yen-Lin Chee; Wee-Joo Chng

    Objectives: Calreticulin mutated Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) has a distinct clinical phenotype when compared to JAK2 V617F mutated ET. Here we determined the prevalence and compared the clinical phenotypes and outcomes of JAK2 mutated, CALR mutated, and both JAK2 and CALR unmutated (double-negative) genotypes in 331 Asian ET patients.


Sickle Cell Trait and Blood Groups (ABO and Rh) in Angolans Submitted to Hemoglobin Electrophoresis

Euclides Nenga Manuel Sacomboio*; Dedaldina Tavares Sebastiao; Filomena de Jesus Correia Filho Sacomboio

    The sickle cell anemia is a chronic disease, incurable, although treatable, the number of cases of sickle cell anemia in Angola is considered worrying, in Luanda and it is estimated that around 16,000 babies are born with anemia in Angola each year sickle cell disease. Estimate the sickle cell trait and its relationship with blood groups (ABO and Rh) among Angolan users who perform hemoglobin electrophoresis in the Mediag laboratory.

Tolga Kuzu; Semra Paydas*; Behice Kurtaran; Saime Paydas; Emine Kilic Bagir; Melek Ergin M

    TAFRO is an interesting syndrome haracterized by thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis and organomegaly. Originally it has been reported by Takai et al in Japan patients and later this entity has been reported out of Japan. Here we reported 3 cases with TAFRO from Turkey and reviewed availabla data, diagnostic difficulties and also treatment modalities.
