Nevertheless it is a therapy which is often ineffectual and quite frequently associated with severe complications. It is therefore with considerable interest that one reads that other methods of therapy, which do not involve cell killing, is surprisingly showing promise in what is one of the most lethal forms of leukaemia, namely acute pro-myelocytic leukaemia (APL), a disease which often has a 100% mortality within weeks. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/13255 Title: The Synapse : the medical professionals' network Editors: Galea, Wilfred; Ellul, Ian C.

Detection of early inflammatory joint disease is not possible with clinical examination or plain radiography, which have been the main diagnostic methods in the past. Changes detected on plain radiography are those of chronic damage caused by these conditions rather that acute inflammation, which results in delay in diagnosis and often suboptimal outcomes in these patients.
