Abstract:
After allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, cerebrovascular complications are uncommon, occurring in approximately 2%, and typically due to coagulopathy or infection. Graft versus host disease has been rarely reported to affect the central nervous system but these cases typically describe leukoencephalopathy, encephalitis, or perivascular infiltrates or vasculitis with subcortical ischemia or hemorrhage. We report a previously undescribed noninflammatory vasculopathy causing multifocal intracranial arterial occlusions and cerebral infarctions in a man following allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which we propose to be a central nervous system manifestation of graft versus host disease.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
