By Chass Armstrong. If you have ever wondered what the difference between a straight tip catheter and coude tip catheter are, you have come to the right place. In this blog we will help to clear up the differences and what the specific uses for each catheter are.
1 Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). 2  Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. 3  Previous chemotherapy and exposure to radiation may increase the risk of developing ALL.
Leukemia is a cancer of the tissues that produce blood cells, resulting in abnormal blood cells. Leukemia appears to be related to damage to chromosomes or genes (1). The damage disrupts the process by which blood cells achieve their final and functional form. Leukemia is the most common kind of cancer in children. Leukemia also causes more deaths than any other form of cancer in children. Fortunately, improved treatment methods have greatly reduced deaths from leukemia. Leukemia rates are higher for white children than black children.
