Lenalidomide with or without erythropoietin in transfusion-dependent erythropoiesis-stimulating agent-refractory lower-risk MDS without 5q deletion
After failure of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), lenalidomide (LEN) yields red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence (TI) in 20–30% of lower-risk non-del5q myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Several...

Use of a coral graft in superior metaphyseal osteotomies of the tibia
Since 1980 we have performed valgus tibial osteotomies by a closing wedge. The osteosynthesis was always made with staples, and weight-bearing was resumed the day after operation, protected by a whalebone spli...

Bony allografts and prosthetic replacement of the acetabular aspect of the hip
51 cases of repeat hip replacement have been reviewed, using allografts for acetabular bone loss, stages 2 and 3 (27 lyophilised and 24 deep-frozen). Mean follow-up was 4 years. Loosening was the reason for in...

A Tutorial Introduction
This chapter is especially devoted to beginners, that is to say to those who are perhaps experienced in optics but who are not specialists in microwave theory. We first derive the well-known grating formula fr...
