Atlas Of Acute Leukemia (ALL, AML) Acute leukemia is closely related to erythroleukemia, a condition intermediate between acute erythremia and acute leukemia erythremia <— erythroleukemia —> myeloblastic leukemia. Acute eosinophilic leukemia is diagnosed by examination of the bone marrow, since eosinophils usually are not increased in the peripheral blood. Acute basophilic leukemia is evidenced by an extreme increase in the basophilic granulated cells of granulocytopoiesis. www.meds.com /leukemia/atlas/acute_leukemia.html   (815 words)

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine: Acute monocytic leukemia presenting as acute respiratory ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) In patients with known acute leukemia, several elements provide diagnostic orientation, including the blast cell type, time from leukemia onset to pulmonary involvement, prior and ongoing therapies, and whether bone marrow failure is present (neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) (9). In contrast, leukemic infiltration of the lungs has been reported in acute leukemia patients without hyperleukocytosis, suggesting that the type of blasts and their affinity for the pulmonary endothelium may be involved in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (19). We studied all patients with acute monocytic leukemia (AML5) presenting with acute respiratory failure and those who were admitted between January 1, 1994, and July 1, 2002, to the Medical ICU of the Saint-Louis Hospital, a 630-bed university and tertiary hospital in Paris, France. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa4085/is_200305/ai_n9295624   (1161 words)

Health Library - AML with inv(16)(p13q22) or t(16;16)(p13;q22) is found in approximately 10% to 12% of all cases of AML, predominantly in younger patients.[10,19] Morphologically, this type of AML is referred to as acute myelomonocytic leukemia (FAB classification M4) with abnormal eosinophils (AMML Eo). This AML shows no evidence of myeloid differentiation by morphology and light microscopy cytochemistry.[49] The myeloid nature of the blasts is demonstrated by immunophenotyping and/or ultrastructural studies.[48] Immunophenotyping studies must be performed to distinguish this acute leukemia from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).[48] Cases of AML, minimally differentiated, comprise approximately 5% of cases of AML. AML without maturation is characterized by a high percentage of bone marrow blasts with little evidence of maturation to mature neutrophils and comprises approximately 10% of cases of AML.[48] Most patients are adults. hvlib.integris-health.com /library/healthguide/illnessconditions/topic.asp?hwid=ncicdr0000062869   (10007 words)

Risk of Benzene-induced Leukemia Predicted from the Pliofilm Cohort Crump and Allen (1) developed estimates of the benzene-related risk of leukemia using data from a cohort of workers exposed to benzene during the manufacture of Pliofilm, a glossy membrane made from rubber hydrochloride and used chiefly for packaging and other water-resistant materials (2-5). The type of leukemia is not known for 2 of the 14 cases found in the most recent follow-up, and these cases were excluded from the dose-response modeling of AMML. Potency estimates derived from AMML and all leukemias using the additive model are in close agreement. ehp.niehs.nih.gov /docs/1996/Suppl-6/crump.html   (3161 words)

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) - CancerIndex Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease in which too many immature granulocytes (a type of white blood cell) are found in the blood and bone marrow. There are a number of subtypes of AML including acute myeloblastic leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute monocytic leukemia, acute myelomonocytic leukemia, erythroleukemia, and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.

Linda Wolff, Ph.D. Acute leukemias of the myeloid system are a common form of hematopoietic neoplasia in man. Since only a limited number of genes involved in this disease have been identified, animal models for identification and characterization of other oncogenes that participate in formation of these leukemias are essential. For this purpose, our laboratory has developed a murine model for acute monocytic leukemia in which neoplasias arise as a consequence of both peritoneal chronic inflammation and retroviral insertional mutagenesis. Through exploitation of the in vivo mouse model, we recently discovered a new genetic locus, Mml1, which is associated with the development of a subset of acute monocytic leukemias. rex.nci.nih.gov /RESEARCH/basic/lco/wolff.htm   (638 words)

American Thoracic Society journal news tips for May 2003 (second issue) In 20 intensive care patients studied by French investigators, the first manifestation of acute monocytic leukemia was severe respiratory distress. According to the authors, in the group of 20 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) over an 18-year period, there were three remarkable features: rapidly progressive respiratory distress revealing acute leukemia; myeloid leukemia (a malignancy of the blood-forming tissues); and respiratory deterioration after chemotherapy began. They said that the onset of acute respiratory failure in patients with acute monocytic leukemia should not be viewed as a terminal event. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2003-05/ats-ats050803.php   (482 words)
