Aims and background Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological cancer. Although it accounts for only a relatively small percentage of all cancer types, the costs associated with managing multiple myeloma are considerable. Available studies are mainly focused on health care costs. The Costo del Mieloma Multiplo (Cost of MM, CoMiM) study investigated the cost of illness of multiple myeloma in Italy during one year of disease management. Methods CoMiM is a retrospective, prevalence-based, multi-center, cross-sectional study based on a stratified sample of patients seen during normal clinical practice (asymptomatic; symptomatic on drugs; symptomatic receiving autologous stem cell transplantation; plateau/remission). Demographics, clinical history, health care and non-health care resource consumption data were collected. Costs were evaluated from the societal viewpoint and expressed in Euro 2008. Results Data on 236 patients were analyzed (39 asymptomatic, 17%; 29 symptomatic receiving autologous stem-cell transplantation, 12%; 105 symptomatic receiving drugs, 44%; 63 plateau/remission, 27%). The total cost of illness reached € 19,267.1 ± 25,078.6 (asymptomatic, € 959.3 ± 1091.6; symptomatic receiving drugs, € 21,707.8 ± 21,785.3; symptomatic receiving autologous stem-cell transplantation, € 59,243.7 ± 24,214.0; plateau/remission, € 8130.7 ± 15,092.5). The main cost drivers of total cost of illness were drugs and hospital admissions (46.1% and 29.4%, respectively). Antineoplastics and immunomodulators drove the cost of drugs (21.6% and 21.1% of the total cost of illness). Cost of antineoplastics was led by bortezomib (97.4%), whereas the cost driver for immunomodulators was lenalidomide (99.4%). Cost of hospitalization funded by the Italian National Health Service was strongly influenced by transplantation (94.6%), whereas chemotherapy and skeletal fractures did not exceed 1% and 2%, respectively. Conclusions Despite some limitations, the CoMiM study provides Italian health care decision-makers with an insight into the stratified cost of illness of multiple myeloma patients.

Dieciséis (16) características de conformación de la raza Carora, fueron estudiadas en 3867 vacas. Los parámetros genéticos de las mismas se analizaron usando el modelo animal para características múltiples. Los efectos fijos considerados fueron: interacción rebaño-año, mes de evaluación, edad, estado de la lactancia y el clasificador del rebaño. Los parámetros genéticos se obtuvieron del REML para estimar los componentes de la (co)variancia. Las heredabilidades más altas se obtuvieron en la alzada (0,47) y profundidad corporal (0,27), mientras que el valor más bajo fue observado para el ángulo de la pezuña (0,03). Las características de la ubre mostraron bajo índice de herencia, estimándose un rango que iba de 0,06 para la inserción de la ubre trasera, a 0,13 para el nivel del piso de la ubre. Las correlaciones genéticas entre la alzada, profundidad corporal y ancho de la grupa fueron altas, con un rango de 0,76 a 0,86. Estimaciones altas se encontraron en la separación de pezones (0,16) y largo del pezón (0,26). La inserción delantera de la ubre fue positivamente asociada con la inserción de la ubre trasera (0,46), profundidad corporal (0,53), separación de pezones (0,17) y largo de pezones. (0,18), mientras correlación negativa se observó en el nivel del piso la ubre. Otras estimaciones negativas de correlación genética, se encontraron entre el nivel de grupa (-0,45), en las patas traseras vistas de atrás (-0,50), el nivel del piso de la ubre (-0,68) y la angulosidad. A su vez, la angulosidad fue positivamente asociada a la inserción trasera de ubre (0,62). Pequeñas correlaciones fueron estimadas entre el ángulo de la pezuña y la mayoría de las características evaluadas. La correlación genética negativa entre el desarrollo corporal y las características de la ubre, sugirieron que la selección por incremento de tamaño corporal no mejora la conformación de la ubre. Por lo tanto la selección debería estar orientada hacia animales de talla mediana con características lecheras. Sixteen (16) morphological traits from 3867 Carora cows in Venezuela were studied. Genetic parameters were analyzed using a multiple trait animal model. Fixed effects of herd- year of evaluation interaction, month evaluation, age, stage of lactation classifier, within herd were considered, genetic parameters were obtained from REML estimates of covariance components. The highest heritability was found for stature (0.47) and for body depth (0.27), whereas the lowest values were found for foot angle (0.03). Udder traits showed low heritability estimates ranging from 0.06 for rear with to 0.13 for de udder balance. Higher estimations were found for tea placement side (0.16) and teat length (0.26). Genetic correlations among stature, body depth, strength and rump width were high and ranged from 0.76 to 0.86. Fore udder attachment was positively associated with rear udder height (0.46), udder depth (0.53), teat placement (0.17) and length (0.18) while a negative correlations with udder balance (-.028). Negative estimates genetic correlations were found between rump angle (-0.45), rear-legs rear view (-0.50), udder balance (-0.68), udder support (-0.32) y la angularity. Angularity was positively associated with rear udder height 0.62. Small correlations were estimated between foot angle and most traits. Negative genetic correlations between body development and udder traits suggested that selection to increase body size could not improve the udder conformation.. Selection should be oriented towards animals of medium size dairy characteristics. 58 - 65 mriera@luz.edu.ve Bimestral

Entre agosto 2003 y febrero del año 2004 se evaluaron las características de los pezones en 1263 vacas Carora, 403 Holstein y 118 Jersey ubicadas en Venezuela. La forma del pezón fue clasificada como embudo, cilíndrico y botella, mientras que la punta del pezón se clasificó de la siguiente manera: puntiaguda, redondeada, plana, disco, invertido y prolapsada. Se midió también, el largo y para cada pezón. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto raza sobre las características morfológicas de los pezones. El largo y diámetro fueron analizados con un modelo mixto incluyendo como efectos fijos la raza, edad de la vaca, la interacción rebaño - año de nacimiento y el efecto aleatorio de la vaca dentro del rebaño. Los tipos de pezones y las puntas de los mismos se analizaron por medio del SAS versión 8,0 con el Proc. Freq y el Proc. Univaríate. Para la asociación de las características de los pezones con las razas se utilizó la prueba de Ji cuadrado (x²). La raza Carora mostró un efecto significativo sobre el largo y diámetro del pezón: el largo estimado fue 5,9; 5,4 y 5,3 cm y el diámetro estimado fue 2,3; 2,2 y 2,1 para Carora, Holstein y Jersey, respectivamente. Ningún efecto significativo de raza fue encontrado para la forma y tipo punta de pezón, pero hubo predominio en las tres razas de la forma redondeada, seguido de los puntiagudos. Morphological traits of teats and teat-end were evaluated from August 2003 to February 2004 in 1263 Carora, 403 Holstein and 118 Jersey cows reared in Venezuela. Teat type was classified as funnel, cylindrical and bottle whereas teat-end was classified as pointed, round, flat, disk, funnel shape and prolapsed. Also, the length and diameter were measured for each teat. The aim of this work was to evaluate the morphological effect of breed on the teat treats. Teat length and diameter were analyzed by a mixed model including the fixed effects of breed, age of cows, herd- birth year interaction and the random effect of the cow within herd. Teats and teat-end types were analyzed by SAS version 8.0 with the Proc. Freq and Proc. Univaríate. In order to associate the teat traits with the breed was used Chi square (x²). Carora breed showed a significant effect on teat length and diameter: the estimated teat length was 5.9, 5.4 and 5.3 cm and the estimated teat diameter was 2.3, 2.2 and 2.1 for Carora, Holstein and Jersey, respectively. Teat length and diameter increased as the age increases. No significant effect of breed was found for teat and teat-end type but in the three breeds there was predominance of round and pointed shape. 393 - 400 Bimestral

Se estudiaron las características morfológicas de 2663 vacas Carora, de once fincas lecheras en seis Estados de Venezuela, la evaluación se hizo siguiendo un esquema subjetivo que describió tres diferentes formas de los pezones: embudo, cilíndrico y botella, y siete categorías para la forma de la punta de los pezones: redondeado, puntiagudo, plano, prolapsado, disco, invertido y mixto. Los pezones delanteros y traseros, derechos e izquierdos, fueron observados de manera separada, antes del ordeño de la tarde. El largo del pezón se midió desde la base del mismo, donde se une a la ubre, hasta el ápice del pezón. El diámetro del pezón se midió en aproximadamente en la mitad lo que corresponde a su parte más amplia. La frecuencia de la forma de pezón fue: 48,69% embudo, 32,84% cilíndricas y 15,34% botella. La frecuencia de la forma de la punta del pezón fue: 52,65% redondeado, 28,02% puntiagudo, 8,72%, plano, 4,3% prolapsado, 2,18% disco, 0,86% invertido y 0,12% mixto. El objetivo de la investigación fue categorizar en vacas Carora, las características morfológicas de los pezones, las cuales pueden ser importantes, en la producción de leche, velocidad de ordeño y en la resistencia individual a infecciones intramamarias. Morphological characteristics of teats were studied in 2663 Carora Cows, from eleven dairy farms in six States of Venezuela, registered in the Carora Breeder Association. A subjective scheme of evaluation was develop to describe three different teat shapes: funnel, cylindrical and bottle and seven categories for teat-shape teat: round, pointed, plane, prolapsed, disk, inverted and mixed. Front right and left teat and rear right and left teat were observed separately prior afternoon milking. The length of the teat was measured of the base teat where attachment udder to the teat apex. The diameter of teat was measured middle high on the teat. Frequencies of teat shape were: 48.69% funnel, 32.84% cylindrical and 15.34% bottle. Frequencies of teat-end shape were: 52.65% round, 28.02% pointed, 8.72% plane, 4.3% prolapsed, 2.18% disk, 0.86% inverted and 0.12% mixed. The purpose of the investigation was to categorize in Carora cows, morphological characteristics of teat which may be of importance in order to yield milk, rate milking and the individual resistance to intramammary infections. 421 - 428 Bimestral

The finding of an IgM monoclonal gammopathy often represents a diagnostic challenge. In fact, there are many pathological disorders associated with this condition, each of which has distinctive characteristics and requires specific clinical, instrumental, and laboratory assessments to set the appropriate treatment. This review has two aims. Firstly, to provide a framework of the broad spectrum of IgM-associated disorders: (1) monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS); (2) Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM); (3) IgM-related disorders (among which hyperviscosity syndrome, light chain amyloidosis, cold agglutinin disease, cryoglobulinaemia, IgM neuropathy, Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, skin changes (POEMS) syndrome, Castleman disease); (4) IgM-secreting multiple myeloma (IgM-MM); and (5) other lymphoproliferative disorders which may be associated with IgM (such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and B-cell non Hodgkin lymphoma). Secondly, to give a detailed insight regarding diagnosis and treatment of WM.
