- University Transplant, Mississippi's only transplant program, has a long history of solid organ transplant beginning with the world's first lung and heart transplants performed by Dr. James D. Hardy in 1963 and 1964. (umc.edu)
- In addition to our programs for solid organ transplants, the state's only stem cell and bone marrow transplant unit is housed at UMMC. (umc.edu)

19981
- Bone Marrow Transplant 1998(10): 941-6 [ PubMed abstract ]. (lu.se)
Bones5
- In a successful BMT transplant, the new bone marrow migrates to the cavities of the large bones and begins producing healthy, normal blood cells. (emoryhealthcare.org)
- For example, some children think a bone marrow transplant means their bones are going to be replaced. (bmtinfonet.org)
- Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside your breastbone (sternum) and pelvic bones. (medlineplus.gov)
- The bone marrow is removed from the back of both hip bones. (medlineplus.gov)
- That extraction process used to mean drilling deep into their hip bones and using an extra-long needle to pull out bone marrow, which holds the cells that can develop into all types of blood cells. (popsci.com)
Disease7
- The acute or fulminant form of the disease (aGvHD) is normally observed within the first 10 to 100 days post-transplant, [9] [10] and is a major challenge to transplants owing to associated morbidity and mortality. (wikipedia.org)
- The processing method allowed Ronnie and Levi to receive a stem cell transplant from their father, who does not have the autoimmune disease. (stanford.edu)
- There are those in the government and scientific community who say more money must be spent on human embryonic stem cell research because it holds the most promise for helping people with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. (all.org)
- Sideroblasts are not pathognomonic of any one disease but rather are a bone marrow manifestation of several diverse disorders. (medscape.com)
- Although the patient eventually succumbed to metastatic spread to the bone, liver, and lung after 9 months, no local disease progression or pain/obstructive symptoms were observed. (bvsalud.org)
- To cure sickle cell disease, you have to replace the stem cells in the bone marrow. (medlineplus.gov)
- From 2004 to 2013, our team, led by Dr. John Tisdale and Dr. Matt Hsieh] developed ways to use bone marrow stem cell transplants to expand the possibility of curing the disease. (medlineplus.gov)
Immune system3
- Your child's body will rebuild an immune system from scratch with the new, transplanted stem cells. (uclahealth.org)
- The newly transplanted stem cells are replacing your child's immune system. (uclahealth.org)
- Sometimes, that transplanted immune system can react against your child's body, attacking its organs. (uclahealth.org)
General anesthesia1
- Bone marrow harvest -- This minor surgery is done under general anesthesia . (medlineplus.gov)
Recipient3
- The part of white blood cells that contains stem cells is then separated in a machine and removed to be later given to the recipient. (medlineplus.gov)
- The harvested stem cells are processed before infusion into the recipient. (medscape.com)
- and the benefit of the transplant to the recipient. (cdc.gov)
Person's2
- When you have a stem cell transplant using another person's stem cells, it is called an allogeneic transplant. (cancerresearchuk.org)
- Now, for the first time, investigators have found an association between the health of the microbiota before a transplant and a person's survival afterward. (mskcc.org)
HSCT1
- Although outcomes after HSCT have improved markedly since transplants were first utilized, infection remains an important source of morbidity. (medscape.com)
Haploidentical1
- A haploidentical transplant may be from a family member. (medlineplus.gov)
Leukemia3
- As leukemia cells multiply, they interfere with the production of healthy blood cells and bone marrow function. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
- Using a thin, hollow needle, we remove bone marrow samples to check for signs of leukemia. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
- Along the way, Sekeres also explores leukemia in its different forms and the development of drugs to treat it-describing, among many other fascinating details, the invention of the bone marrow transplant and a treatment that targets the genetics of leukemia. (schoolandyouth.org)
Oncologist1
- The first therapy using stem cells was a bone marrow transplant performed by French oncologist Georges Mathé in 1958 on five workers at the Vinča Nuclear Institute in Yugoslavia who had been affected by a criticality accident. (wikipedia.org)

- Blood-forming stem cell transplants. (mayoclinic.org)
- They discovered the blood-forming stem cell, the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), through their pioneering work in mice. (wikipedia.org)
