Does prognostic impact of absolute lymphocyte count at the end of remission induction in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
ALC at the end of induction is related to favorable presenting features and good initial treatment response but does not independently predict outcome in the context of contemporary, MRD-guided therapy.
Total and ultrafilterable hypomagnesemia are frequent occurrences in patients with and without chest pain in the emergency department. Diuretic use is associated with hypomagnesemia in patients presenting with chest pain in the emergency department. These results support the concept that hypomagnesemia is common in patients with chest pain in the emergency department and is associated with hypokalemia but is not predictive of whether the patient with chest pain has had an acute myocardial infarction.
