Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) yields a high rate of curability for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it is also associated with transplant-related morbidity and mortality (TRM). The risk and severity of TRM increase with the use of an alternative donor graft in the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD). With the declining birthrate and aging of the ...

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice), Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor (Celecoxib®) and gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (Diphereline®) to a control group on endometrial implants in rats. MaterialsAndMethods Endometriosis was induced in rats by auto transplantation and after confirmation, the rats were divided into 4 groups that were tre...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the most common indication for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in North America. Despite occurring in up to 50% of patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT, the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after autologous HSCT is reportedly only 5-20%. Gastrointestinal involvement with graft-versus-host disease (GI GVHD) is a common and serious co...

To automatically annotate songs with descriptive keywords, a variety of content-based auto-tagging strategies have been proposed in recent years. Different approaches may capture different aspects of a song’s musical content, such as timbre, temporal dynamics, rhythmic qualities, etc. As a result, some auto-taggers may be better suited to model the acoustic characteristics commonly associated w...
