    Summary: The goal of this book is to promote awareness of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - which is rapidly replacing viral hepatitis as the leading cause of chronic liver disease in Europe, North and South America and Asia - and to share the latest information on evolving approaches to diagnosis and treatment. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the current topics of interest in the field, and provides clinical guidance on NAFLD through a multidisciplinary approach based on the latest scientific understanding of this multisystemic disease, involving the expertise of specialists including hepatologists, diabetologists, and cardiologists. The respective contributions address various aspects, including the newly released international guidelines, novel diagnostic modalities, and new experimental drugs. The work will appeal to a broad readership, from residents in internal medicine to specialists.

    One hundred-sixty-three children with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were treated with a multiple-drug induction program (PATCO) consisting of prednisone (PDN), cytosine arabinoside ((Ara-C), 6-thioguanine (6-TG), cyclophosphamide (CPM), and Oncovin (VCR). Ninety-six, 59%, obtained a remission. Remission was maintained with daily 6-TG and four-day pulses of Ara-C and CPM with a single dose of VCR every 28 days. The median duration of remission was 11.5 months. Certain prognostic factors affected induction rate and remission duration. Initial white blood count (WBC) was a significant factor in achieving a remission, whereas age, sex, and type of ANLL had no effect. Initial WBC, age, and sex had a significant effect on remission duration, but type of ANLL had no effect. Relapsing patients were treated with daunomycin and 5-azacytidine. The reinduction rate was 53% with a median second remission duration of 190 days. Overall survival for the 163 patients is 55.4% at 12 months, 31.5% at 24 months, 21.4% at 36 months, and 19% at 48 months.
