Presentation
We aimed to describe the presentation, response to treatment and outcomes of adult stem cell transplant patients with disseminated adenovirus infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
In addition, transplant coordinators are responsible for initiating the workup of donors and performing infusions once patients are admitted. [uhhospitals.org]
It is also reasonable to screen for asymptomatic portal hypertension in the pretransplantation workup, since numerous factors in myelofibrosis may impair liver function. There is also the issue of managing relapses after stem cell transplant. [ascopost.com]
Biopsy
- Liver Biopsy
Liver biopsy showed histology suggestive of autoimmune-like hepatitis, which is a rare manifestation of chronic "hepatitic" graft versus host disease. © The Author(s) 2015. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] after HSCT [67] : The diagnosis of veno-occlusive disease (sinusoidal obstruction syndrome) can be based primarily on established clinical criteria; ultrasonography may help exclude other disorders; liver biopsy should be reserved for patients in whom [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
A thematic content analysis was performed, and three themes were assessed: what is oral health, why was pre-transplant dental treatment performed, and what was the relevance of dental treatment for the haematopoietic stem cell transplant. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis is poor, particularly after allogeneic transplantation, and literature to guide clinical decision-making is scarce. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Its etiology is related to endothelial injury accompanied by complement activation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
RSV-B genomes from 16 patients and health care workers (HCWs) suspected to be involved in the outbreak were compared to RSV-B genomes that were acquired from outpatients during the same time period but epidemiologically unrelated to the outbreak. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
"Future epidemiologic studies and disease prevention studies will need to include this growing patient population. [healio.com]
An exceptional outcome Keener was so thankful and invigorated by her recovery that she soon returned to Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s as a part-time researcher in Epidemiology. [blog.dana-farber.org]
Our study is reported according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines (the checklist used is included in the eAppendix in the Supplement ). [jamanetwork.com]
Pathophysiology
This observation might have important drawbacks as far as HSCT-TMA pathophysiology and treatment are concerned. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] require therapy.4 The cells express pan B-cell markers and are usually positive for CD5, CD20, CD10 and CD23 and are negative for CD3 and CD103.5 The 6q deletion is present in 42% of patients and is associated with an adverse prognosis.6 Waldenström pathophysiology [nature.com]
Prevention
Antibiotics, antifungal medications, and antiviral medications can help prevent and treat bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. [webmd.com]
Some are meant to prevent nausea from chemotherapy, some to prevent infections, others to prevent complications from the chemotherapy drugs. Many are given by mouth, some are given by vein. [franciscanhealth.org]
The reason for performing prior dental treatment involves strict guidelines for transplants, and when questioned as to the importance of the dental treatment for transplants, the interviewed subjects' statements focused on the prevention of infections [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CAMPATH 1H stays active in the body for a long time after patients receive it, which means it may work longer at preventing graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) symptoms. [clinicaltrials.gov]
Your healthcare provider may prescribe medication to prevent fungal infections. Scientists are still learning about which transplant patients are at highest risk and how to best prevent fungal infections. 7,8 Protect yourself from the environment. [cdc.gov]
