ABO mismatch
what reduces the risk of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion
Leukoreduction of donor blood
What reduces the risk of IgA deficiency
washed
clinical features and timing of febrile nonhemolytic transfusions

bone cancer: soap bubble appearance and most likely location
giant cell tumor
distal femur and proximal tibia around the knee
bone cancer: pain worse at night and unrelated to activity and quickly relieved with NSAIDs
osteoid osteoma
bone cancer: commonly due to hyperPTH from parathyroid carcinoma
osteitis fibrosa cystica
treatment for cancer anorexia
progesterone analogues and corticosteroids
Salvage therapy
treatment for a disease when standard therapy fails
Neoadjuvant therapy
treatment given before the standard therapy for a particular disease
Maintenance therapy
given after induction and consolidation therapies to kill any residual tumor cells and keep the patient in remission
Induction therapy
initial dose of treatment to rapdily kill tumor cells and send the patient into remission
Consolidation therapy
given after induction therapy with multidrug regiments to further reduce tumor burden
Adjuvant therapy
treatment given in addition to standard therapy
Salvage thearpy
treatment for a disease when standard therapy fails
