Back Aplastic Anemia and Lindane Carcinogenicity Lindane has been classified as Group B2/C (probable/possible human carcinogen) (U.S. EPA, 1999c) and a cancer potency of 1.3 per mg/kg-d has been listed (HEAST, 1997). Lindane's related isomers, alpha and beta hexachlorocyclohexane, are classified as probable human carcinogens and have cancer potencies similar to that of lindane . In addition to tumors identified in experimental animals, human study data indicate that this chemical may cause aplastic anemia (U.S. EPA, 1993a). TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE SUMMARIES FOR TARGET ANALYTES Aplastic Anemia Toxin Exposure By Lyle L. Sensenbernner, M.D. In many cases, aplastic anemia has been clearly linked to exposure to certain toxins, although in many cases it is unlikely that a specific case can be identified. Overall there are certain groups of substances which have been clearly shown to be causative agents for aplastic anemia. These include: Toxic chemicals;

    http://www.oup-usa.org/isbn/0195059832.html
    
    Extractions: Agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia figure prominently among certain serious diseases which can be precipitated by drugs. Several hundred different agents with substantially different chemical and pharmacological properties have been implicated, although the evidence incriminating specific drugs has been largely anecdotal. This book describes the findings of a rigorous and comprehensive epidemiological investigation designed to provide reliable quantitative data on the drug etiology of agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia. This investigation was a large-scale, population based , case-control study. Its objectives were to identify those drugs associated with agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia, and to estimate incidence rates attributable to specific drugs. In both conceptual and practical terms, this study has broken new ground, by providing the most extensive documentation to date concerning the drug etiology and incidence of the two dyscrasias.

The bone marrow is contained in the long and pelvic bones of the body. When the bone marrow is damaged or destroyed, the result is a lack of production of the cellular productions of blood resulting in aplastic anemia. Toxins, radiation, cancer chemotherapy, and medications are the main causes of this condition.

    Extractions: Protocol Number: 00-H-0032 Treatment of Severe Aplastic Anemia with Combined Immunosuppression: Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG) and Cyclosporine A (CSA), and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) 00-H-0032 This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a combination of three drugs in treating severe aplastic anemia and preventing its recurrence. Two drugs used in this trial-ATG and cyclosporine-are standard combination therapy for aplastic anemia. This study will try to improve this therapy in three ways: 1) by altering the drug regimen to allow the drugs to work better; 2) by reducing the risk of kidney damage; and 3) by adding a third drug-mycophenolate mofetil-to try to prevent disease relapse. Patients with severe aplastic anemia who do not have a suitable bone marrow donor or who decline bone marrow transplantation may participate in this study. Patients will have a skin test for ATG allergy, chest X-ray, blood test, and bone marrow aspiration before treatment begins. ATG will then be started, infused through a vein continuously for 4 days. Ten days after ATG is stopped, cyclosporine treatment will begin, taken twice a day by mouth in either liquid or capsule form and will continue for 6 months. Also, in the first 2 weeks of treatment, patients will be given a full dose of corticosteroid (prednisone) to prevent serum sickness that could develop as a side effect of ATG therapy. The dosage will be decreased after that. Mycophenolate will be started at the same time as ATG, in two daily doses by mouth, and will continue for 18 months.

90. Aplastic Anemia
    .aplastic anemia. Definition aplastic anemia is a disorder in which the bone marrowgreatly decreases or stops production of blood cells.  
    http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00038280.html
    
    Extractions: The bone marrow (soft tissue which is located within the hard outer shell of the bones) is responsible for the production of all the types of blood cells. The mature forms of these cells include red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body; white blood cells, which fight infection; and platelets, which are involved in clotting. In aplastic anemia, the basic structure of the marrow becomes abnormal, and those cells responsible for generating blood cells (hematopoietic cells) are greatly decreased in number or absent. These hematopoietic cells are replaced by large quantities of fat. Yearly, aplastic anemia strikes about 5-10 people in every one million. Although aplastic anemia strikes both males and females of all ages, there are two age groups that have an increased risk. Both young adults (between 15-30 years of age) and the elderly (over the age of 60) have higher rates of aplastic anemia than the general population. While the disorder occurs worldwide, young adults in Asia have a higher disease rate than do populations in North America and Europe.

    Extractions: From BMT Newsletter May 1995 Issue # 29 - BMTs for Aplastic Anemia Reprinted by NYSERNet with Permission from BMT Newsletter Aplastic anemia is a disease of the bone marrow - the organ that produces the bodyUs blood cells. Approximately 2,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed each year with aplastic anemia. Although the symptoms of aplastic anemia - fatigue, bruising, infections, and weaknessQare similar to those associated with leukemia, aplastic anemia is not a form of cancer. In patients with aplastic anemia the bone marrow stops producing, or produces too few, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Without sufficient red blood cells, oxygen cannot reach organs and tissues throughout the body. A decrease in the number of white blood cells hampers the bodyUs ability to fight infection. Platelets are needed to help blood clot. Although the exact cause of aplastic anemia is unclear, most evidence points to a combination of factors: damaged "stem cells" (the primitive cells in bone marrow that produce blood cells), damage to the bone marrow environment in which blood cells develop, abnormalities in the proteins that regulate blood cell production, and a malfunctioning immune system that interferes with the normal blood cell production. Certain environmental factors have been associated with the development of aplastic anemia. Chemotherapy drugs such as busulfan or antibiotics such as chloramphenicolQas well as some drugs used to treat inflammations, epilepsy, or malariaQcan cause temporary or prolonged aplastic anemia. Chemicals such as benzene and pesticides, infections such as viral hepatitis and mononucleosis, autoimmune disorders and ionizing radiation also have been linked to development of aplastic anemia. Although exposure to these agents increases the risk of developing aplastic anemia, they are not the sole cause of the disease.

Consequently, there is a reduction in all cell types red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets with this type of anemia , which is called pancytopenia. The cause of idiopathic aplastic anemia is unknown, but is thought to be an autoimmune process (the body reacting against its own cells). Causes of other types of aplastic anemia may be chemotherapy radiation therapy toxins , drugs, pregnancy , congenital disorder, or systemic lupus erythematosus

    Extractions: Introduction The following is a list of the words I have come across and looked up in my study of Aplastic Anaemia and Myelodysplasia since I was diagnosed with AA July 20th 2001. This list may not be complete so I may update this glossary as I come across new words which are vital to understanding the conditions and making decisions on the treatments, diet and change in lifestyle. There is a reason the technical jargon of the Medical profession looks Greek to you. It is! With respect to Hypocrites who was a Greek born 460 BC and who was the father of modern medicine, most medical terms are made out of Greek words strung together. Understanding where the word came from, it's derivation, helps to understand the word and to further understand all the words like it. I have included the derivations of all of the words I could for this reason. I hope you find this glossary helps to clarify what the Doctors and articles are talking about.
