  • This trial confirmed the results of other trials that demonstrated a substantial incidence of symptomatic hypotension in MM patients in the peri-transplant period following ASCT. (astct.org)
  • In a combined analysis of categorical groups, the patients in the high A- ALC group transplanted in CR1 had the best prognosis for OS and PFS and patients in the low A- ALC group transplanted in CR/PR after second-line therapy had the worse prognosis for OS and PFS. (astct.org)
  • Purine nueoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency causes a form of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) characterized by profound T cell deficiency, failure to thrive (FTT), recurrent deep seeded infection, developmental delay, progressive neurological deterioration, and autoimmune complications.

  • When parents save a child's cord blood within a family bank, they are reserving the option for the baby to use his or her own stem cells for an autologous treatment in the future. (beebehealthcare.org)
  • The child's stem cells will be a perfect HLAmatch for themselves and there is a 25% chance of being a perfect match for a sibling. (cryosave.co.za)
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is similar to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , except that AML affects the myeloid white blood cells instead of lymphocytes. (bidmc.org)
  • In recent years, a growing number of studies have shown that stem cells can effectively treat acute liver failure. (springer.com)
  • One of these is that people cannot use their own stem cells during treatment for a genetic disease because the stem cells have the same genes that cause the disease. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • First, the big news earlier this year in June was that NY Yankees Pitcher Bartolo Colon had received a stem cell treatment. (ipscell.com)
  • Now it has been reported that superstar quarterback, Peyton Manning, has received a stem cell treatment in Europe as part of therapy for a neck problem. (ipscell.com)
  • I blogged before about the danger of anyone getting a non-FDA approved stem cell treatment via stem cell tourism. (ipscell.com)
  • There are two modes of treatment for using stem cells: First, allogeneic is when the patient receives stem cells from a matching donor, either a sibling or an unrelated donor. (beebehealthcare.org)
  • Hardly a day goes by without hearing of some new cell involved in a new disease treatment: Numerous cellular immunotherapies are currently in clinical development, using natural killer cells, dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages, polyclonal or antigen-specific T cells and lymphokine-activated killer cells. (mastercellbank.com)
  • We conclude that IL-21 treatment at the time of flu vaccination in aging SIV-infected animals modulates the inductive LN GC activity, to reverse SIV-associated LN Tfh and B-cell dysfunction. (bvsalud.org)
  • The stem cells are available to the family should they be required in clinical trials, such as for the treatment of neurological conditions including autism and cerebral palsy. (cryosave.co.za)
  • The parents have full rights and access to the cells during the entire period of storage, should they be required for medical treatment. (cryosave.co.za)
  • If cord blood stem cells are required for treatment from a Family Cord Blood Bank, there are no additional charges or fees for making the cord blood unit available to the patient at the Transplant Centre. (cryosave.co.za)
  • Cord blood stem cells have been induced to develop into neural cells, suggesting that they may represent a potential treatment for neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, spinal cord injury, dementia, and related conditions. (bioinformant.com)
  • In addition, there is a range of disease categories for which cord blood transplant could represent a viable treatment method in the future. (bioinformant.com)
  • For these conditions, there are still unknown criteria that need to be determined before the cord blood stem cell transplant can become commonplace, such as patient criteria for optimal treatment effectiveness, optimum stem cell quantity for use in transplant, and preferred method of stem cell delivery into the patient, as shown below. (bioinformant.com)
  • It can take a while to feel better after a stem cell transplant, but the treatment can be very helpful for some illnesses. (kidshealth.org)
  • Banking with a public cord blood bank means that your sample is publicly available to anyone with a need for treatment. (futurehealthbiobank.com)
  • Why stems cells are an effective treatment instead of joint replacement. (kansasrmc.com)
  • These cells have been studied for the treatment of periodontitis, bone repair, regeneration of the pulp after necrosis as well as the development of new teeth. (bvsalud.org)
  • Cord blood is used in clinical trials for conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy and brain injuries. (cordlife.com)
  • The cord blood unit may be sold to a patient in need, who is granted full rights to use it for an established clinical indication or in a clinical trial. (cryosave.co.za)
  • We have a series of clinical trials available to evaluate several different strategies to prevent GVHD, such as T cell depletion and the use of novel immunosuppressive agents. (harvard.edu)
