Quality of life of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Abstract:

:In a prospective study of 27 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) quality of life was studied using three different instruments, Life Ingredient Profile, Karnofsky Performance Scale and Vitagram. The course of the disease was followed during the induction period, remission, relapse and in the terminal phase. We found that induction treatment entailed physical and psychological distress with decreased quality of life but with continued ability to enjoy various leisure activities. Patients who survived experienced a change of attitude with regard to what was important in their lives. They reverted to their earlier lifestyle within 2 years.

  • PDTC enables type I TRAIL signaling in type II follicular lymphoma cells.

    abstract::Based on Bcl-X(L) overexpression studies we identified type I and type II follicular lymphoma cell lines in response to TRAIL. We demonstrate here that either amount of caspase-8 activation or Bid cleavage could not define the dependence on mitochondria. Furthermore, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB, PDTC, enabled TRAIL to a...
