Introduction Le syndrome de lyse tumorale aigue est une urgence metabolique secondaire a la destruction des cellules tumorales. Le plus souvent secondaire a une chimiotherapie ou une radiotherapie, il peut survenir spontanement, surtout dans le cas des hemopathies a forte masse tumorale et haut index de proliferation (lymphomes agressifs ou leucemies aigues). Il a ete tres rarement decrit dans le cas de pathologies hematologies de bas grade (1,2). Nous rapportons ici le deuxieme cas de syndrome de lyse tumorale spontanee chez une patiente suivie pour une myelofibrose. Observation Il s’agit d’une patiente de 75 ans, hypertendue equilibree sous nicardipine, suivie pour une myelofibrose secondaire a une polyglobulie de Vaquez evoluant depuis 9 ans et traitee par hydroxycarbamide (Hydrea 2 cp/j). En raison d’une anemie a 8,8 g/dL, l’Hydrea etait suspendu. Deux semaines plus tard, elle etait hospitalisee pour un episode severe de lyse cellulaire avec insuffisance renale aigue sur necrose tubulaire d’origine indeterminee. L’evolution a ete favorable apres hyper-hydratation (diminution de la creatininemie de 683 a 150 mmol/L) mais une rechute apparait 3 semaines plus tard (creatinine 521 mmol/L, uricemie 1505 mmol/L, LDH 778 UI/L). L’hydratation etait alors completee par l’administration de rasburicase et l’introduction d’un traitement par allopurinol, sans necessite de recours a une hemodialyse. La creatinine etait a 223 mmol/L 10 jours plus tard puis a 100 mmol/L cinq semaines plus tard. Aucun autre point d’appel qu’une lyse d’origine myeloproliferative n’a ete retrouvee : le PET-scanner a uniquement mis en evidence un hypermetabolisme osteomedullaire diffus, la taille de la rate etait stable en echographie a 16 cm et la BOM retrouvait un aspect de SMP chronique compatible avec une maladie de Vaquez compliquee de myelofibrose, sans infiltration blastique. Depuis, un traitement par ruxolitinib (Jakavi 20 mg/j) a ete introduit, sans recidive de l’insuffisance renale, avec un recul de 8 mois. Discussion Notre observation repond aux criteres cliniques et biologiques d’un syndrome de lyse tumorale aigue. La forme spontanee, survenant en dehors de tout traitement cytotoxique, a surtout ete rapportee au cours des lymphomes de Burkitt et des leucemies aigues. Elle est exceptionnelle au cours des hemopathies de bas grade et n’a ete rapportee qu’une fois associee a une myelofibrose (1). Conclusion Ce cas illustre la possibilite de survenue d’un syndrome de lyse tumorale dans des pathologies hematologiques reputees comme peu agressives, meme en l’absence de traitement, et la necessite d’un diagnostic precoce pour esperer une recuperation de la fonction renale.

Introduction La retinopathie de Purtscher a ete decrite pour la premiere fois en 1910 chez un homme presentant une baisse d’acuite visuelle apres un traumatisme crânien. Le fond d’œil mettait en evidence des hemorragies et des taches blanches peripapillaires [1] . Plusieurs autres cas ont depuis ete rapportes suite a des traumatismes divers (thoraciques, crâniens, des os longs). Des cas non traumatiques, reunis sous l’appellation « pseudo-retinopathie de Purtscher » ont ete decrits dans les pancreatites aigus, les micro-angiopathies thrombotiques et certaines connectivites (lupus, sclerodermie, dermatomyosite). Nous rapportons ici le cas d’une patiente atteinte d’une pseudo-retinopathie de Purtscher associee a une maladie de Still. Observation Une patiente de 48 ans, sans antecedent particulier, etait suivie depuis 6 mois pour une maladie de Still. Le diagnostic avait ete pose devant des polyarthralgies, une eruption cutanee fugace, une polyserite (epanchement pleural et pericardique), des poly-adenopathies, une hyper-ferritinemie a 12 000 μg/L avec une ferritine glycosylee a 2 %. Elle etait traitee par Kineret avec une bonne efficacite mais relaye par une corticotherapie devant des effets indesirables. Dans un contexte de resurgence de sa maladie de Still sous Kineret a demi-dose avec fievre, polyarthralgie et syndrome inflammatoire biologique : des myodesopsies de l’œil gauche puis une baisse d’acuite visuelle de l’œil gauche sont apparues progressivement. L’examen ophtalmologique du fond d’œil retrouvait des nodules cotonneux bilateraux predominant a droite et une hemorragie pre retinienne a gauche. L’angiographie montrait un aspect de vascularite bilaterale predominant au pole posterieur avec des nodules cotonneux. Au total, il etait conclu a une pseudo-retinopathie de Purtscher. Un traitement par corticotherapie 1 mg/kg/j associe a du methotrexate 15 mg/semaine a ete instaure en relais du Kineret devant la rechute de la maladie de Still. Sur les controles a 1 et 4 mois, une amelioration a ete observee avec recuperation de l’acuite visuelle et regression des nodules cotonneux et des signes de vascularite. Discussion Les atteintes ophtalmologiques dans la maladie de Still sont rares et polymorphes : syndrome sec, uveites, episclerites [2] . Un tableau de pseudo-retinopathie de Purtscher comme dans notre observation, a exceptionnellement ete rapporte 2. Les principaux signes sont les nodules cotonneux et les hemorragies en flammeches. Les Fleckens de Purtscher, pathognomoniques, correspondent a un blanchiment de la retine interne entre arterioles et veinules avec epargne caracteristique des 50 μm de part et d’autre des arterioles pre capillaires retiniennes mais ils ne sont presents que dans 50 % des cas (absents dans notre cas). Les signes concernent essentiellement le pole posterieur. L’angiographie a la fluoresceine montre classiquement une obstruction arteriolaire. La physiopathologie est encore discutee. Il est evoque une occlusion des arterioles pre capillaires par des « emboles » (fibrine, plaquettes, leucocytes et complement active, graisse selon les cas) causant une coagulopathie intravasculaire a l’origine d’une ischemie focale. Dans le cadre de la maladie de Still et des connectivites, le phenomene occlusif initial serait en lien avec une dysfonction endotheliale. Il n’y a pas de consensus therapeutique mais les corticoides intraveineux a forte dose sont frequemment utilises [3] . Conclusion La pseudo-retinopathie de Purtscher peut s’associer a la maladie de Still et causer une perte visuelle definitive si le traitement n’est pas instaure precocement. Nous soulignons l’interet de connaitre cette association et de rechercher les signes visuels chez les patients suivis pour une maladie de Still.

Objectives Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare interstitial granulomatous disease that usually affects young adults who are smokers. Chest computed tomography (CT) allows a confident diagnosis of PLCH only in typical presentation, when nodules, cavitated nodules and cysts coexist and predominate in the upper and middle lungs. Methods This article includes a pictorial essay of typical and atypical presentations of PLCH at initial chest CT. Various appearances of PLCH are illustrated and possible differential diagnosis is discussed. Results PLCH can present with some aspecific features that may cause diagnosis of the initial disease to be overlooked or other pulmonary diseases to be suspected. In cases of nodule presentation alone, the main differential diagnosis should include lung metastasis, tuberculosis and other infections, sarcoidosis, silicosis and Wegener’s disease. In cases of cysts alone, the most common diseases to be differentiated are centrilobular emphysema and lymphangiomyomatosis. Clinical symptoms are usually non-specific, although a history of cigarette smoking, coupled with the presence of typical or suggestive findings at imaging, is key to suspecting the disease. Atypical presentations require surgical biopsy for diagnosis. Conclusions The radiologist should be familiar with PLCH imaging features to correctly diagnose the disease or need for further investigation. Teaching Points • PLCH is a rare interstitial smoking-related disease that usually affects young adults. • The typical first CT shows a mix of nodules, cavitary nodules and cysts in the upper-middle lungs. • Atypical appearance, either cysts or nodules alone, mandates that other diagnoses be considered. • Lung cystic involvement correlates with lung function abnormalities and predicts functional decline. • Integration of the clinical history and imaging results is key to diagnosis.

An amplitude analysis of the D+, Ds+ → π−π+π+ Dalitz plots is presented using data collected by the Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687. The data are fitted to a model consisting of a sum of relativistic Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the intermediate two-body resonant decay modes plus a flat non-resonant contribution. From the fit we derive decay fractions and relative phases. We also present measurements of Γ(D + →π − π + π + ) Γ(D + →K − π + π + ) and Γ(D s + →π − π + π + ) Γ(D s + →K − K + π + ) .

We report on the results of a search for fourteen flavor changing neutral current, lepton number violating, or lepton family number violating decays of the charmed meson D + in the large charm sample recorded by the Fermilab photoproduction experiment E687. No evidence is seen for these rare and standard-model-forbidden decays, of the form D + → h ± l ∓ l + (with h = π , K and l = e , μ ); we determine 90% confidence level upper limits on their absolute branching fractions in the range (9–20) × 10 −5 .

We report on the first statistically significant observation of the vector meson Cabibbo suppressed semileptonic decay D+ → ρ0μ+ν. We measure the branching ratio of the decay mode D+ → ρ0μ+ν (plus possible unobserved γ from D+ → η′μ+ν, η′ → γρ0) with respect to the decay mode D + → K ∗0 μ + ν to be BR (D + → ρ 0 μ + ν) BR (D + → K ∗0 μ + ν) = 0.079 ± 0.019 ( stat ) ± 0.013 ( syst ) . Data were collected by Fermilab photoproduction experiment E687.

Results for the Cabibbo suppressed semileptonic decays D 0 → π − e + ν and D 0 → π − μ + ν (charge conjugates are implied) are reported by Fermilab photoproduction experiment E687. We find 45.4 ± 13.3 events in the electron mode and 45.6 ± 11.8 in the muon mode. The relative branching ratio BR (D 0 →π − l + v) BR (D 0 →K − l + v) for the combined sample is measured to be 0.101 ± 0.020 (stat.) ± 0.003 (syst.) 14 .

Fullerite single crystals were prepared by vapor transport growth in an open tube. Detailed characterization of the technique was conducted and different experimental configurations and growth conditions were tested. The method is simple and allows the production of millimeter-size, high quality single crystals which were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopy.

We report measurements of charm particle production asymmetries from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment E687. An asymmetry in the rate of production of charm versus anticharm particles is expected to arise primarily from fragmentation effects. We observe statistically significant asymmetries in the photoproduction of D+, D ∗+ and D0 mesons and find small (but statistically weak) asymmetries in the production of the Ds+ meson and the Λc+ baryon. Our inclusive photoproduction asymmetries are compared to predictions from nonperturbative models of charm quark fragmentation.

We report on the study of charm baryons decaying to Λ c + : Λ c ★+ (2625) → Λ c + π + π − , Λ c ★+ (2593) → Λ c + π + π − , Σ c 0 → Λ c + π − and Σ c ++ → Λ c + π + . We present a confirmation of the state Λ c ∗+ (2593) and determine its mass difference to be M ( Λ c ★+ (2593)) − M ( Λ c + ) = 309.2 ± 0.7 ± 0.3 MeV/ c 2 . We determine the lower limit on the resonant branching ratio to be BR (Λ c ★+ (2593) → Σ c π ± Λ c ★+ (2593) → Λ c + π + π − ) > 0.51 (90% c.l.). We also measure the mass differences M ( Σ c 0 ) − M ( Λ c + ) = 166.6±0.5±0.6 MeV/ c 2 and M ( Σ c ++ ) − M ( Λ c + ) = 167.6±0.6±0.6 MeV/ c 2 . Finally, we measure the relative photoproduction cross sections for Λ c ★+ and Σ c with respect to the (inclusive) photoproduction cross section for Λ c + .

Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 provides a high statistics sample of the decay mode D + → K ∗0 μ + ν (charge conjugates are implied). Our analysis yields a branching ratio of Γ (D + → K ∗0 μ + ν) Γ (D + → K − π + π + ) = 0.56±0.04±0.06 . The ratios of the form factors governing the decay are measured to be R ν = 1.74 ±0.27±0.28 and R 2 = 0.78±0.18±0.10, implying a polarization of Γ l Γ t = 1.20±0.13 ±0.13 for the electron decay. Finally, we report new limits on the decay modes D + → K − π + μ + ν (nonresonent) and D + → K ∗0 π 0 μ + ν .

We report the results of a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays D+ → K+K−K+ and D+ → ΦK+, and the singly Cabibbo suppressed decays Ds+ → K+K−K+ and Ds+ → ΦK+. Our measurements are all consistent with zero branching ratio, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the relative D+ branching ratios: BR(ΦK + ) BR(Φπ + ) , BR(K + K − K + ) BR(Φπ + ) and BR(K + K − K + ) BR(K − π + π + ) , and the relative Ds+ branching ratios: BR(ΦK + ) BR(Φπ + ) and BR(K + K − K + ) BR(Φπ + ) . The data were accumulated by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.

We present the first measurement of the lifetime of the Ω c 0 baryon. The data were collected in the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. The measured lifetime is τ = 86−20+27(stat.) ± 28(syst.) fr. Thus the Ω c 0 has one of the shorter lifetimes among the weakly decaying singly charmed baryons.

Amplitude analyses of the D+ and Ds+ → K+K−π+ Dalitz plots are presented using data collected by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. Our data are fit to a model consisting of a sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the intermediate two-body resonant decay modes. We extract decay fractions and relative phases. These results are used to infer new branching ratios for D+ → K+K−π+ inclusive as well as the Φπ+ and K ∗ (892) 0 K + channels.

Analysis of three D → Kππ Dalitz plots is presented using data collected by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. Our data are fit to a model consisting of a sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the intermediate two-body resonant decay modes and a constant term for the nonresonant contribution. We extract branching fractions and relative phases and compare them to the results obtained in other experiments. Although this model qualitatively reproduces many features of our data, statistically significant discrepancies are observed in some of our fits.

The fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 provides a sample of approximately 90 events of the decay mode D+s→ φμ+ ν. The ratios of the form factors governing the decay are measured to be Rv=1.8±0.9±0.2 and R2= 1.1±0.8±0.1, implying a polarization of Г 1 /Г t = 1.0±0.5±0.1 for the electron decay, consistent with our measurement of the form factor for the decay D + → K ∗0 μ + ν .

We report precise measurements of the D 0 and D + meson lifetimes by the E687 Collaboration at Fermilab. The measurements have been made using 16000 fully reconstructed decays of the D 0 into the K − π + and K − π + π − π + final states and 9000 decays of the D + into the K − π + π + final state. The lifetimes of the D 0 and D + mesons are measured to be 0.413±0.004±0.003 ps and 1.048±0.015±01011 ps respectively.

Among 230 patients undergoing ultrasound (US) guided renal biopsy, 218 had postbiopsy sonography. Clinical records were reviewed to correlate symptoms to US findings. In each case of large hematoma (thickness above 1 cm), all postbiopsy sonographic studies were analyzed to look for findings indicative of unfavorable outcome. A total of 96 subcapsular/perirenal hematomas were found. Large hematomas were observed in 20 patients (20/230 = 8.7%), seven of these (3%) were severely symptomatic. In the absence of clinical signs of bleeding, no patient had clinical consequences. In the presence of clinical signs of bleeding, serious complications occurred only in patients with large hematomas. US thickness of retroperitoneal hematoma correlated to clinical outcome: whenever measured thickness was less than 2 cm, clinical evolution was very favorable, whereas a thickness above 2 cm was invariably associated to clinical signs of bleeding. In six of seven cases of thickness exceeding 3 cm, severe complications developed. An unfavorable evolution was associated with increasing thickness and an echogenicity inappropriate with respect to the time elapsed since biopsy. Hydroureteronephrosis, peritoneal effusion, and anomalous vascular images were indicators of deterioration. We conclude that sonography is indicated only for symptomatic patients and that the monitoring of both thickness and changing echogenicity of retroperitoneal blood collections supplements clinical follow-up.

We report a measurement of the relative branching ratio of two Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes: D 0 → π − π + and D 0 → K − K + . The data were accumulated in the 1990–1991 fixed target run of Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687. The branching ratios of these modes relative to the Cabibbo-allowed decay D 0 → K − π + are also presented. The relative branching ratios are measured to be Γ ( D 0 → KK )/ Γ ( D 0 → ππ ) = 2.53 ± 0.46 ± 0.19, Γ ( D 0 → KK )/ Γ ( D 0 → Kπ ) = 0.109 ± 0.007 ± 0.009, and Γ ( D 0 → ππ )/ Γ ( D 0 → Kπ ) = 0.043 ± 0.007 ± 0.003.

We report evidence for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay of the charm baryon Λ c + into the final state pK − K + . The analysis is performed on data collected by high energy photoproduction experiment E687 during the 1990–1991 Fermilab fixed target run. The branching ratio of the decay Λ c + → pK − K + relative to the non-suppressed Λ c + → pK − π + is measured to be BR( pK − K + / pK − π + ) = 0.096 ± 0.029 ± 0.010. The upper limit of the decay into po relative to the inclusive pK − K + decay is measured to be BR( po / pK − K +

A precise measurement of the [ital D][sub [ital s]][sup [plus minus]] meson lifetime is reported. The data were accumulated by the high energy photoproduction experiment E687 at Fermilab in the 1990--1991 fixed target run. The measurement has been done using 900 fully reconstructed [ital D][sub [ital s]][sup [plus minus]][r arrow][phi][pi][sup [plus minus]] decays. The lifetime of the [ital D][sub [ital s]][sup [plus minus]] meson is measured to be 0.475[plus minus]0.020[plus minus]0.007 ps.

Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 measures a branching ratio of Γ ( D S + → φμ + ν ) / Γ ( D S + → φμ + ) = 0.58 ± 0.17 (stat) ± 0.07 (sys). This branching ratio is combined with theoretical inputs to obtain a new measurement of the D S + absolute branching ratio of Γ ( D S + → φμ + ) / Γ ( D S + → all) = 0.031 ± 0.009 (stat 0.005 (sys) ± 0.004 (theoretical).

The magnetic spectrometer and charged particle tracking system used in Fermilab experiment 687 to study the photoproduction and decay of charm particles are described in detail. The photons are produced by a wideband electron beam which can operate at energies up to 600 GeV/ c . The spectrometer consists of a high resolution silicon microstrip detector, a large aperture dipole magnet, proportional chambers, a second large aperture dipole, and more proportional chambers. Three multi-cell threshold Cherenkov counters provide charged particle identification. The tracking system is capable of resolving the secondary decay vertices of charm and beauty mesons and baryons from the primary interaction vertex. It also determines the invariant mass of the multibody final states of particles containing heavy quarks with excellent resolution. The particle identification system allows one to identify kaons and protons present in these final states clearly. This collection of detectors produces very clean signals for charm particles and permits one to make many cross checks of the apparatus. The performance is illustrated for a variety of charm signals. Of particular interest is a description of the tracking through the silicon microstrip detector and its use in isolating downstream decay vertices. Two complementary approaches to the reconstruction of secondary decay vertices are presented and insight is gained by comparing their strengths and weaknesses.

Analysis of the resonant and non-resonant branching fractions for the decays D 0 →K S 0 π + π − and D 0 →K S 0 K + K − is presented. For the D 0 →K S 0 π + π − decay, a fit to the observed Dalitz plot was performed to determine the complex amplitudes of the sub-component modes. For the D 0 →K S 0 K + K − decay, measurements of the branching ratios D 0 →K S 0 K + K − (inclusive), D 0 →K S 0 φ , and D 0 →K S 0 (K + K − ) non- φ relative to the D 0 →K S 0 π + π − mode are reported. The data were collected by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.

We present measurements of the branching ratios for two Cabibbo suppressed decays of the D0 meson, D0 → π+π+π−π− and D0 → K−K+, and for the decay D + s → фπ + π + π − . The physics signals were extracted from a data sample consisting of 60 million triggers, collected by Fermilab Photoproduction Experiment E687 from December 1987 to February 1988. The relative branching ratios are measured to be: Γ(D0 → 4π)/Γ(D0 → K3π) = 0.108±0.024±0.008, Γ(D0 → KK)/Γ(D0 → Kπ) = 0.138±0.027 ±0.010 and Γ( D s → ф3π)/Γ( D s → фπ) = 0.58±0.20±0.10 .

We have used the Fermilab 30-in. bubble chamber--hybrid spectrometer to study the rapidities of produced particles'' in the interactions of 200-GeV/{ital c} protons and {pi}{sup +} and {ital K}{sup +} mesons with nuclei of gold, silver, and magnesium. The average rapidity decreases linearly with the number of projectile collisions {nu}{sub {ital p}} (up to {nu}{sub {ital p}}=5) with no {ital A} dependence and little beam dependence. The ratio {ital R} of normalized rapidity distributions for hadron-nucleus to hadron-proton interactions shows a plateau in the central region, and becomes much larger in the target region. However, the increase is significantly less than has been reported in previous experiments. As a function of {nu}{sub {ital p}}, the ratio {ital R} rises linearly in the target region, more gently in the central region, and decreases slowly in the projectile region, in all cases with no {ital A} dependence. Some discrepancies with a previous experiment are observed in the central region. Long-range rapidity correlations are observed in hadron-nucleus events, but not in hadron-proton events. For the former, it is shown that the correlations exist only for those events with multiple projectile collisions, as expected in the multichain dual parton model.

This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the treatment of patients affected by Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS).From January 1999 to December 2006, 15 patients (seven male and eight female subjects, age range 7-52 years) with BCS uncontrolled by medical therapy were treated with TIPS placement. In seven cases BCS was idiopathic, in four it was caused by myeloproliferative disorders and in four by other disorders. One patient also had portal vein thrombosis. In 5/15 cases TIPS was created through a transcaval approach. Eight patients (53.4%) received a bare stent, and seven (46.6%) received a stent graft. The follow-up lasted a median of 29.4 (range 3.2-68) months.Technical success was achieved in all patients without major complications. TIPS was very effective in decreasing the portosystemic pressure gradient from 26.2+/-5.8 to 10+/-6.2 mmHg. All patients but two were alive at the time of writing. Acute leukaemia was the cause of the single early death and was unrelated to the procedure. The patient with portal vein thrombosis underwent thrombolysis before TIPS, but the vein occluded again after 3 weeks, and the patient died 6 months later. The other patients showed significant improvements in liver function, ascites and symptoms related to portal hypertension. Primary patency was 53.3%, and primary assisted patency was 93.3%. No patient required or was scheduled for liver transplantation.TIPS is an effective and safe treatment for BCS and may be considered a valuable alternative to traditional surgical portosystemic shunting or liver transplantation.

- Abstract
Using the FOCUS spectrometer (experiments 687 and 831 at Fermilab) we confirm the existence of a diffractively photoproduced enhancement in K^+K^- at 1750 MeV/c^2 with nearly 100 times the statistics of previous experiments. We also observe a narrow dip structure at 1.9 GeV/c2 in a study of diffractive photoproduction of the 3π^+3π^- final state.
