  • A case of POEMS syndrome treated by autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
    Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Alain Créange, Ahmed Chater, Jean-claude Brouet, Arnaud Jaccard, Alain Rahmouni, Jean-pascal Lefaucheur, Aline Santin
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: A 55-year-old woman with no remarkable medical history presented to a neurology ward with a 17-week history of rapidly progressive gait difficulties that confined her to a wheelchair. INVESTIGATIONS: Electroneuromyography, immunoelectrophoresis, Bone Radiography, lesion-targeted Bone-marrow examination, blood tests. DIAGNOSIS: Neuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome. MANAGEMENT: High-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.

    Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Alain Créange, Ahmed Chater, Jean-claude Brouet, Arnaud Jaccard, Alain Rahmouni, Jean-pascal Lefaucheur, Aline Santin
    Abstract:

    Creange et al . describe the case of a woman who presented with sudden-onset neuropathy, elevated levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, thrombocytosis, leukocytosis, and thrombosis. Diagnosed with POEMS syndrome, the patient was successfully treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. Background A 55-year-old woman with no remarkable medical history presented to a neurology ward with a 17-week history of rapidly progressive gait difficulties that confined her to a wheelchair. Investigations Electroneuromyography, immunoelectrophoresis, Bone Radiography, lesion-targeted Bone-marrow examination, blood tests. Diagnosis Neuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome.

  • Are long Bone radiographs necessary in neonates suspected of having congenital syphilis
    Radiology, 1992
    Co-Authors: S B Greenberg, D V Bernal
    Abstract:

    The frequency of appendicular Bone abnormalities was prospectively evaluated in 93 newborns suspected of having congenital syphilis. The evaluation of each newborn included prenatal history, physical examination, serologic tests, and long Bone Radiography, which was performed during the first week after birth. In all patients, results of at least one serologic test for syphilis were positive or proof of syphilis was found at autopsy. In 75 patients (81%), the long Bone radiographs were normal. The nonspecific finding of lucent metaphyseal bands was the most common abnormality on long Bone radiographs; only five newborns had more specific changes of syphilis in the metaphyses and periosteal reaction. In view of the low frequency of relatively specific radiographic findings in the long Bones, the authors recommend that long Bone Radiography not be a part of the routine evaluation of full-term newborns suspected of having congenital syphilis.
