Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprises a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic cell neoplasms of myeloid lineage that arise from the clonal expansion of their precursors in the bone marrow, interfering with cell differentiation, leading to a syndrome of bone marrow failure. AML is a consequence of genetic and epigenetic changes (point mutations, gene rearrangements, deletions, amplifications, and arrangements in epigenetic changes that influence gene expression) in hematopoietic precursor cells, which create a clone of abnormal cells that are capable of proliferating but cannot differentiate into mature hematopoietic cells or undergo programmed cell death. The diagnosis requires more than 20% myeloid blasts in the bone marrow and certain cytogenic abnormalities. Treatment will depend on age, comorbidities, and cytogenetic risk among the most frequent.

Abstract Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic disorder with a sex-linked inherited pattern, characterized by an inability to amplify coagulation due to a deficiency in coagulation factor VIII (hemophilia A or classic) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Sequencing of the genes involved in hemophilia has provided a description and record of the main mutations, as well as a correlation with the various degrees of severity. Hemorrhagic manifestations are related to levels of circulating factor, mainly affecting the musculoskeletal system and specifically the large joints (knees, ankles and elbows). This document is a review and consensus of the main genetic aspects of hemophilia, from the inheritance pattern to the concept of women carriers, physiopathology and classification of the disorder, the basic and confirmation studies when hemophilia is suspected, the various treatment regimens based on infusion of the deficient coagulation factor as well as innovative factor-free therapies and recommendations for the management of complications associated with treatment (development of inhibitors and/or transfusion transmitted infections) or secondary to articular hemorrhagic events (hemophilic arthropathy). Finally, relevant reviews of clinical and treatment aspects of hemorrhagic pathology charachterized by acquired deficiency of FVIII secondary to neutralized antibodies named acquired hemophilia.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: In México there are only 4 cities that have significantly active hematopoietic stem cell transplantation programs; onlyin 3 of those cities, the most important national public health institution IMSS (Mexican Social Security Institute) count with them. The cities where these programs are found are Mexico City, Monterrey and Puebla. Since the beginning of this decade, and before, the productivity of these transplant programs in this public health institution is low, performing on average 148 transplants every year. Results: In the span comprised between April 1995 and October 2016, we have performed 474 hematopoietic transplants in our hospital; 229 of them were allogeneic and 245 autologous, in adult and children population. This accumulated experience has allowed the implementation of all the variety of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation available in our country, this has opened up the opportunity, for the first time in our institution, the possibility to provide a donor for every patient who requires an hematopoietic transplant, overcoming the phase in which patients could not be submitted to the procedure for lack of a compatible donor. Conclusions: The goals achieved in our hospital confirm the feasibility in developing uninterrupted long term transplant programs in hospitals not specially equipped with technology nor abundant funds of the public health system in the national province, and it shows that this programs can be created and developed in hospitals with similar conditions to ours in México, Latin America and middle-low income countries(AU)
Introducción: en méxico solo cuatro ciudades cuentan con programas de trasplante hematopoyético significativamente activos y en solo tres los tiene el IMSS, la principal institución de salud del país: Monterrey, Puebla y la ciudad de México .La productividad de estos centros del sector público es muy baja, realizando en conjunto 148 trasplantes en promedio por año desde el principio de la década actual. Resultados: en el lapso comprendido entre abril de 1995 y octubre de 2016, se efectuaron 474 trasplantes hematopoyéticos en nuestro hospital; 229 de ellos fueron alogénicos y 245 fueron autólogos, en población adulta e infantil. Esta experiencia acumulada ha permitido la implementación de todas las variedades disponibles en el país de estos procedimientos, lo que ha generado, por vez primera en la institución, poder contar con un donante para todo paciente que requiera un trasplante hematopoyético; superándose la etapa en la que los enfermos no se sometían al procedimiento por falta de un donador compatible. Conclusiones: la actividad acumulada en nuestra unidad hospitalaria confirma la factibilidad de desarrollar programas ininterrumpidos, a largo plazo, de estos procedimientos terapéuticos en hospitales no especialmente dotados de tecnología ni presupuesto del sector público de la provincia nacional y denota que estos mismos programas pueden ser creados y desarrollados en nosocomios con condiciones similares al nuestro en diversos territorios de México, de Latinoamérica y de países con ingreso medio-bajo(AU)
