Is the scoring system an effective clinico-biological tool in myeloid antigen positive adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
The scoring system accurately defines diagnosis and ontogeny of MyALL which appear to be related to incidence of Ph chromosome, elevated WBC count and elderly age. Consequently, fewer CR rates were documented in MyALL with the highest score. However, it was in this group that the good responders showed a greater capacity to continue in first remission.
Training volume influences both IIa/IIx and I/IIa hybrid fiber proportions in runners, but only the former in nonrunners. Hybrid IIa/IIx fiber proportions were modulated by racing distance. Distinctly different distributions of MHC isoforms within the hybrid fibers were seen in runners favoring longer distances versus those favoring shorter distances.
