A case of acute limb ischemia

Abstract

Thromboembolism is a well-recognized complication of hematological malignancy. The incidence of symptomatic thrombosis at diagnosis is relatively low in AML (acute myeloid leukemia) patients, though its incidence increases on treatment with anthracyclines. We reported a case of 69 year old female with T2DM who presented with DVT and later on acute limb ischemia of the same lower limb. On hematological evaluation, she had leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. Further evaluation revealed AML. Thromboembolism as a rare presentation of AML in adults with leukemic hyperleukocytosis has seldom been reported. In the absence of clear guidelines, early diagnosis and management are desirable.

Leukostasis‐induced digital ischemia

“…This more commonly involves the respiratory and central nervous systems and less frequently leads to cardiac, renal, or gastrointestinal complications [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]. Only seldom in the last two decades has leukostasis‐related acute limb ischemia been described [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. This rare clinical manifestation is ultimately associated with high mortality and amputation risks [ 9 ].…”

Emerging technologies for selenium separation and recovery from aqueous systems: A review for sustainable management strategy

“…The decomposition in these wetlands creates a remnants layer offering anaerobic or aerobic substrates to support and grow bacteria that consume Se oxyanions as their energy source. [ 88 ] Se‐laden wastewater is treated in constructed wetlands by combining different mechanisms such as adsorption on sediments within wetlands, chemical transformation, and microbial reduction, and plant uptake. [ 41 ] Carvalho and Martin have found that aquatic plants like cattails ( Typha domingensis ), hydrilla ( Hydrilla verticillata Royle), duckweed ( Lemna obscura Aust.)…”

An integrated experimental and theoretical approach to probe Cr(vi) uptake using decorated halloysite nanotubes for efficient water treatment

“…The rapid growth of industries has raised serious concerns about water scarcity and pollution. 1 One of the primary sources of water pollution comes from dyes, heavy metals and organic pollutants. The removal of heavy metals, which are not biodegradable, from wastewater is especially important.…”
