Association between hyperflexibility of the thumb and an unexplained bleeding tendency: is it a rule of thumb?

abstract：:Between January 1987 and January 1997, 69 eligible patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in either second (CR2) or third (CR3) complete remission (CR2 = 60, CR3 = 9) underwent 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide-purged autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) at the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center.
