Acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura in childhood Presentation and treatment A Hospital based study

Background: Acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a self – limiting illness, usually occurring after an infectious disease, and it is due to decrease number of circulating platelets manifests as a bleeding tendency, easy bruising (purpura), or extravasations of blood from capillaries into skin and mucous membranes.                                                                                                                      

Objective: To study and analyze the natural history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and treatment used in children below 15years. 

Patients and methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried on total of 72 patients their ages range between(1-15)years who were admitted to Children Welfare Teaching  Hospital / Baghdad from 1st of July 2010 to30th of June 2011. Seventy two cases admitted during that period and diagnosed as acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura but bone marrow aspiration study was done in 57cases and those cases that were studied and were analyzed to all types of clinical presentation & management used.                                                                                                           

 Results: Age group were ranged from (1-15) years with peak in age group of (1-5) years 38(66.7%), male were 29 (50.9%) equal to female 28 (49.1%). Most cases were reported in spring 25(43.9%), with preceding viral illness was encountered in 37 (64.9%) patients. Most cases were presented with skin rash 54(94.7%) except three cases, the epistaxis was the second presentation 21(36.9%), and the least presentations were intracranial hemorrhage & menorrhagia 1(1.8%). Most of the cases were treated with steroid (91.1%).                                                                                                        

Conclusions:  Bone marrow exanimation is recommended in each case of the thrombocytopenia, and if decision of bone marrow exanimation is taken, it is essentially to do it prior to steroid therapy. Oral prednisolone is the readily available, inexpensive drug that can be taken orally in hospital and as outpatient. Methylprednisolone rapidly increases platelet counts so reduces period of hospitalization, but it is not always available and can be used as in patient treatment only.

Malnutrition: A Risk Factor in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Malnutrition is an adverse prognostic factor in the outcome of children with standard risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia due to a significantly higher rate of bone marrow relapse in the malnourished patients. The event free survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in developed countries has increased substantially in the last two decades as treatment with intensive protocols has brought the estimated probability of event free survival at 5 years close to 75%. Although the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia has also been improved in underdeveloped countries, the figures for event free survival are lower, even when aggressive protocols are used. Unfavorable socioeconomic fa

THOUGHT PRESENTATION IN KATHRINE MANSFIELD’S SHORT STORIES

To cite the short stories of Kathrine Mansfield, all contain characters who are
revealed through their own thoughts. In her stories, the world is always seen through
the eyes of her characters in the form of points of view presented to the readers
through the characters' minds. This way of revealing characters and figuring out the
world, through the presentation of the characters' thoughts, is linked to the 'stream of
consciousness.' Kathrine Mansfield has been compared with Virginia Woolf in
particular in that both writers used the thoughts and the points of view of their
characters as material for their work through the stream of consciousness.
According to Leech and Short (1981), there are five linguistic techn

Experience with treatment of fifty eight Iraqi patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Background: Adults with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) have the lowest survival rate of all leukemias. Complete remission (CR) rate after induction therapy is about 55-85%, however 30% of patients fail to achieve remission and they remain alive only for about a year. Consolidation chemotherapy results in 5-year overall survival (OS) of about 30%.

Objectives: To study characteristics of adult patients with AML who attended Baghdad Teaching Hospital, their response to induction therapy and then to consolidation therapy, and their 5-year (OS) and disease free survival (DFS).

Results: Eleven patients who received attenuated induction therapy had a median survival of 6-8 mon
