The future for CLL?
In the last few years, we've seen some great advances in the efficacy of new treatments for CLL, with very encouraging progress towards a cure. There has even been talk that we may have achieved the breakthrough that Imatinib (perhaps better know as Gleevec) was for a sister leukaemia to CLL - CML or

Iodine Excess as an Environmental Risk Factor for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
I have long been extremely cautious about the use of iodine in relation to thyroid disorders. Yet many people point out the high intake of iodine in Japan and suggest doses of as high as 50 milligrams a day. So it is particularly interesting that this paper originates in Japan and cautions about iodine

Ruxolitinib for PV
Are there many people on here who are taking Ruxo for PV in UK, how are you doing on it, are you having any side effects, how long have you been on it and what dose are you on. Was it hard to get it in UK as I understand it is not yet approved, did you have to "fail" on Hydra and Interferon. I am looking

Feeling scared
Sat in bed last night feeling my anxiety levels creeping up and was lucky enough to notice the link at the bottom of the MPD homepage. Spent time reading and felt something just less than the normal state of panic I have been in recently. Diagnosed Sept 2013 at 42 years old, started on aspirin but

Does Pegylated interferon alfa-2a cure ET? Some paper show yes. Is this credible?

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2009, 27(32): 5418-5424. This show the

Temperature-dependent innate defense against the common cold virus limits viral replication at warm temperature in mouse airway cells
We often see people lamenting the number of colds (and cold-like viruses) that those who are hypothyroid seem to get. One of the well-known things about hypothyroidism is the tendency to have a slightly lower body temperature than others. Which would likely also be true of the the nose, don't you think

Haemophellia, cereosis of the liver, Cancer of the liver, transplant help please
Hi all, I posted a couple of weeks ago about my father in law. He's a haemophelliac who was contaminated with hep c back in the 80's, part of the Taintedblood scandal. 12 years ago he had interferon treatment which did get rid of the hep c, but due to the haemophellia and treatment he was left with cereosis
