PURPOSE |
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like lesions have been described in association with an increased risk for stroke in β-thalassemia. We describe a patient with thalassemia intermedia and angioid streaks who developed a central retinal artery occlusion and subsequent portal vein thrombosis. |
METHOD AND PATIENT |
Case report of a 47-year-old woman with thalassemia intermedia, angioid streaks, central retinal artery occlusion, and portal vein thrombosis. |
RESULTS |
Our patient presented with a cilioretinal artery-sparing central retinal artery occlusion in the left eye and evidence of angioid streaks in both eyes. One month later, she developed neovascularization of the angle in the left eye and underwent panretinal photocoagulation. Neovascularization of the angle resolved, and ... |
CONCLUSION |
The finding of angioid streaks in the setting of thalassemia may suggest the presence of a systemically defective elastin layer. This can be a procoagulative factor and may warrant further assessment of the coagulation and cardiovascular system to take prophylactic measures. The occurrence of a thromboembolic event, ho... |

BACKGROUND |
A new formulation of tacrolimus that is characterized by prolonged release has been developed to facilitate treatment and patient compliance. Initial therapy with prolonged release formula in heart transplantation is not widely accepted. |
MATERIAL AND METHODS |
We enrolled 19 patients into a randomized analysis divided into 2 groups with different initial regimens. There were 8 patients with a mean age of 44 ± 13 years treated by Advagraf, and 11 patients with a mean age of 41 ± 9 years treated by Prograf. Serum concentration of immunosuppressive drug was followed by its oral... |
RESULTS |
There were no perioperative deaths. The risk of acute rejection within 6 months following surgery was 1 (2%) in the Advagraf group and 1 (1.5%) in the Prograf group. Although the serum tacrolimus results were comparable between groups, the drug's daily dosages were different after 6 months of therapy (3 ± 1 mg in the A... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Prolonged-release tacrolimus formula is an efficient immunosuppressant in heart transplantation. Its initial application after surgery has low risk of adverse effects with similar results to conventional formula.Theme-based Book Review: Instability and Reconsideration |
