Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation
نویسنده
چکیده
A 1 3-yr-old male with acute myelogenous therapy. Then, 53 yr later, he developed leukemia was treated with various chemoan extramedullary relapse with a chlotherapy regimens for 3 yr and then underroma of his maxillary sinus. This case ilwent an allogeneic bone marrow translustrates the need for prolonged followup plantation. The donor marrow was sucof transplant recipients and suggests that cessfully engrafted, and the patient statements proposing cure as a result of remained in remission free of all chemothis procedure may be premature.

Bone Marrow Transplantation and Medical Tourism at Erciyes University - A Single Center Experience
Medical tourism emerged when people were challenged with high costs and slow service in medical care. As a consequence of these issues, people started to look for medical treatment in other countries. Globalization accelerated the growth of medical tourism. Several “push” and “pull” factors play roles in the motivation of patients to become a medical tourist. This review addresses the different...
متن کاملA 16 Month Survey of Cyclosporine Utilization Evaluation in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients
Objectives: Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a life threatening reaction in the stem cell transplantation process. Nowadays Cyclosporine is the most commonly utilized agent for GVHD prophylaxis and it has a major role in successful transplantation. Cyclosporine has been applied for many years in this field but it could be stated that currently no general consensus is available for its optima...
متن کاملGraft versus host disease following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
Graft versus host disease is a major barrier in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The associated morbidity and mortality need to be understood and prevented if possible, as the potential indications for bone marrow transplantation continue to broaden. Areas of investigation include the cellular effector arm as well as the cytokines associated with the expression of the disease.

متن کاملRegulatory T cell content in the bone marrow graft does not predict the occurrence of acute GVHD.
The subpopulation of regulatory T cells (Treg) was shown to play a key role in alloreactive responses. In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, several groups tested whether Treg content in transplants correlates with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with controversial results. In a retrospective study of 49 consecutive HLA-matched sibling transplantations, we studied the relation...
متن کاملCirculating Erythropoietin Levels After Bone Marrow Transplantation: Inappropriate Response to Anemia in Allogeneic Transplants
We studied 24 recipients of autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) or allogeneic BMT (BMT) to determine whether impaired erythropoietin (Epo) response to anemia could delay full erythropoietic recovery. Observed Epo levels were compared with predicted levels based on the relationship between Epo and hematocrit in 125 control subjects. Circulating Epo levels were normal during conditionin...
