Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia ( CLL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell ). [ 2][ 8] Early on, there are typically no symptoms. [ 2] Later, non-painful lymph node swelling, feeling tired, fever, night sweats, or weight loss for no clear reason may occur ...
Richter's transformation (RT), also known as Richter's syndrome, is the conversion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or its variant, small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), into a new and more aggressively malignant disease. [1] CLL is the circulation of malignant B lymphocytes with or without the infiltration of these cells into lymphatic or ...
Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia ( WAIHA) is the most common form of autoimmune haemolytic anemia. [ 1] About half of the cases are of unknown cause, with the other half attributable to a predisposing condition or medications being taken. Contrary to cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia (e.g., cold agglutinin disease and paroxysmal cold ...

[ 1 ] Symptoms may include feeling tired, shortness of breath, easy bruising and bleeding, and increased risk of infection ...
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential, or CHIP, is a common aging-related phenomenon in which hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or other early blood cell progenitors contribute to the formation of a genetically distinct subpopulation of blood cells. [1] [2] [3] As the name suggests, this subpopulation in the blood is characterized by a ...
Obviously it’s personal preference, but if you’d rather your dog not be on the sofa, make sure you: -Give plenty of comfy alternatives. -Build value and reward heavily when in their bed ...
H&E stain. Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma ( ALCL) refers to a group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in which aberrant T cells proliferate uncontrollably. Considered as a single entity, ALCL is the most common type of peripheral lymphoma [ 1] and represents ~10% of all peripheral lymphomas in children. [ 2] The incidence of ALCL is estimated to be 0.25 ...
