Abstract
Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder
characterized by a sustained proliferation of megakaryocytes, which leads to
increased numbers of circulating platelets. Hemorrhagic and/or thrombotic episodes
are frequent, and thrombosis of both veins and arteries may develop. Vessels in
unusual sites may be involved, e.g., the hepatic veins, mesenteric veins, and the
digital vessels. Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava has not been reported
previously. In this paper we report inferior vena cava thrombosis in a patient with
essential thrombocythemia.

Abstract
Involvement of the peripheral nervous system is one of the complications of
multiple myeloma with a varying incidence of clinical and subclinical neuropathy
in different studies. As most of the patients with multiple myeloma suffer from
generalized systemic symptoms such as malaise, bone and low back pain, the
clinical clues to the diagnosis of the neuropathy in its initial stages could be ignored.
In this study, we tried to determine the frequency of peripheral nervous
system involvement in these patients by electromyography/nerve conduction
(EMGINCV) studies. This cross-sectional descriptive study of 30 patients with
multiple myeloma revealed that 70% of cases showed peripheral nervous system
involvement, of whom 57% were found to be asymptomatic and 43% symptomatic
for peripheral nervous system disease.
The pattern of peripheral nervous system involvement was polyneuropathy
(62%) followed by radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome, 52% and 29%,
respectively. Most of the neuropathies were of the sensorimotor axonal type. L5,
S I roots were the most common sites of radiculopathies. Therefore we conclude
that the frequency of subclinical peripheral nervous system involvement in multiple
myeloma patients was so rampant that evaluation of multiple myeloma patients
with EMGINCV studies was necessary.

Abstract
Repeated bone marrow examination was found to be of value in assessing response
to treatment in megaloblastic anemia. The objective of this study was monitoring
the response of megaloblastics to treatment, concerning the location of neutrophilic
myeloperoxidase and myeloperoxidase index (MPXI) and their variation in megaloblastic
erythroid progeny. It is possible to follow up megaloblastic cases using a
Technicon HI (Bayer) automated cell counter. Complete blood counts (CBC) of 50
patients whose bone marrow aspirations revealed megaloblastic state and subsequently
responded to treatment with B 12 and folate were studied through pre- and post-treatment
measurements. MPXI level in 41 patients was above normal range (normal: -10
to + 10). Nine patients had normal MPXI, though mean cell volume (MCV) was higher
than 100 fL. The highest value of MPXI was 41.5 .The mean values of MPXI were
18.3 and 2.05 in pre- and post-treatment measurements respectively. MPXIs were
decreased after treatment in 92% of patients (p= 0.008). According to this investigation,
the MPXI measurement is a suitable test in monitoring the response for treatment.

Abstract
Background: Scenario is the primary method in futures studies, and thus its improper use can undermine the credibility and claims of the results. There are many scenario types, and here we aimed at understanding whether these scenarios are being used properly in the health field.
Methods: In this study, a combination method was used in 3 phases, and 8 + 2 steps were considered to accommodate the needs of the health sector with capabilities of the main types of scenarios. One of the appropriate methods of futures studies was used at each step.
Results: Scenario planning has evolved along with futures studies paradigms. Trend-based scenarios, intuitive logic, and structural analysis approaches have had the most use in futures scenarios and health section. Quantitative techniques, which are close to the positivist paradigm, have been most widely used; however, participatory methods of futures studies paradigm have been used the least in the health sector.
Conclusions: Health scenario writing in its current state is targeting short- to medium- term futures and does not respond to all requirements. Thus, other backup methods should also be considered.
