Relationship between plasma adriamycin levels and the outcome of remission induction therapy for acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

Plasma adriamycin and adriamycinol levels were measured in 45 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia 3 h after the drug was administered. A wide range of levels as found. Plasma levels increased after the administration of each of the three daily doses of the drug. High plasma levels were associated with both death during remission induction therapy and, for patients who entered remission, long remissions.

Treatment of myeloid blastic crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Patients with myeloid blastic crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia were treated by chemotherapy or by autologous hematopoietic reconstitution after aggressive chemotherapy. Chemotherapy alone failed to produce a second chronic phase. Autologous transplantation resulted in the establishment of a second chronic phase in two of ten patients treated with a four-drug regimen, while treatment with high-dose cytarabine with or without busulfan resulted in the establishment of a second chronic phase in three of six patients and the return of normal hematopoiesis in a fourth. Consolidation chemotherapy appeared to be beneficial.

Bladder calculi enveloped by extensive cystitis glandularis: case report.

We report a case of 2 large calculi encased within a 15 gm. tumor of cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis. The patient presented with acute right epididymitis. An excretory urogram showed 2 bladder calculi. Cystoscopy revealed a mass around the stones resembling adenocarcinoma of the bladder base. Transurethral resection of the tumor and cystolitholapaxy were performed. The final diagnosis was bladder calculi within a mass of cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis. A review of the literature failed to reveal a similar case.
