Estimation of the Particle Size Distribution of a Latex using a General Regression Neural Network
This paper presents a neural-based model for estimating the particle size distribution (PSD) of a polymer latex, which is an important physical characteristic that determines some end-use properties of the mat...

A unified definition of clinical resistance/intolerance to hydroxyurea in essential thrombocythemia: results of a consensus process by an international working group
A widely accepted definition of resistance or intolerance to hydroxyurea (HU) in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) is lacking. An international working group (WG) was convened to develop a consensus...

Nuclear factor-erythroid 2 (NF-E2) expression in normal and malignant megakaryocytopoiesis
Although the transcription factor nuclear factor-erythroid 2 (NF-E2) is known to be functionally linked to the megakaryocytic lineage, little is known about its role in malignant megakaryocytes. We used real-t...

Liposomal daunorubicin (DaunoXome) for treatment of poor-risk acute leukemia
Toxicity limits the use of anthracyclines in elderly sick patients and in heavily pretreated patients. Since the liposomal preparation of daunorubicin (DNR) (DaunoXome, or DNX) is expected to be less toxic tha...

Double reinforcement with fludarabine/high-dose cytarabine enhances the impact of autologous stem cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia patients
Reinforced chemotherapy based on a double high-dose consolidation regimen could be a different way to enhance in vivo purging prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AM...

Alfa-interferon in the treatment of essential thrombocythemia: clinical results and evaluation of its biological effects on the hematopoietic neoplastic clone
The efficacy of alfa-interferon (alfa-IFN) in essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients has been reported by several authors. The aim of this study is to assess the magnitude of the effect of alfa-IFN on the neo...

Clinical and Biological Aspects of Essential Thrombocythemia
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a clonal myeloproliferative disease that involves a multipotent stem cell common to the megakaryocyte, granulocytic, and erythrocytic lines (16). In ET the major abnormality i...

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation for Leukemias and Hematologic Malignancies in Bologna
Since Feb.’83 to Dec.’84 we performed 30 allogeneic bone marrow transplants (BTM) in hematologic malignancies. All the patients (pts) were HLA identical, MLR negative with the donor sibling. Conditioning follo...
