Inconclusive results from BMB
My bone narrow biopsy results were inconclusive. Positive in Jak 2. Negative tests results for lymphoma and leukemia. Red blood cell, white blood cell and platelets are all high. They cannot determine what exact disorder I have. As a result, there has been no recommendation on what to do with medication

"It will change everything" - two scientific blockbusters we'll all benefit from
Mainly of interest to geeks, but of import to everyone. Blockbuster # 1: CRISPR-Cas9 Within weeks we expect to have several effective vaccines against the coronavirus, vaccines made from scratch and rushed to market within 12 months. Hitherto, such a development schedule for a new vaccine was unthinkable

Is there a link between PV and Alopecia areata (AA)?
Hi, Back in Summer 2019 I was diagnosed with Alopecia areata (AA). Then in Feb 2020 a blood test picked up high red blood cells / haemoglobin and haematocrits. In October just gone I was told I almost certainly have PV despite being negative for JAK2. (I have low EPO too). I see my consultant later
