We report a case of primary plasma cell leukaemia, with an absolute count of plasma cells of 53 Giga/L, diagnosed in a 83-year-old woman. The patient's condition improved, with no circulating plasma cells after 3 weeks of treatment, in response to the combination of thalidomide and dexamethasone administered for 5 days followed by thalidomide alone. The clinical presentation, the morphological, flow cytometric and pathophysiological characteristics of the plasma cell leukaemia and the treatment are summarised in this paper.

Human fetuses (35-38 ws GA), exposed to a repeated pair of syllables, either [ba] [bi] or [bi] [ba], at 95 dB SPL when in a low heart rate variability state, display a significant heart rate deceleration. Changing the order of the syllables in the pair, [ba] [bi] becoming [bi] [ba] (or the reverse), induces a new cardiac deceleration. This suggests that fetuses demonstrate auditory discrimination abilities for speech units like syllables.
