Bone marrow transplants from mismatched related and unrelated donors for severe aplastic anemia
For patients with acquired severe aplastic anemia without a matched sibling donor and not responding to immunosuppressive treatment, bone marrow transplantation from a suitable alternative donor is often attem...

Variational Methods on the Space of Functions of Bounded Hessian for Convexification and Denoising
In this paper we investigate variational principles on the space of functions of bounded Hessian for denoising, for numerical calculation of convex envelopes and for approximation by convex functions.

Clinically demonstrable anti-autoimmunity mediated by allogeneic immune cells favorably affects outcome after stem cell transplantation in human autoimmune diseases
To determine the role of allogeneic, autologous and syngeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCTx) as a treatment for severe autoimmune disease (AID) we performed a literature search employing Medline,...

Long-term outcome and quality of life of patients who are alive and in complete remission more than two years after allogeneic and syngeneic stem cell transplantation
We assessed long-term outcome in 155 patients who had undergone an allogeneic/syngeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) and were in complete remission for more than 2 years after transplant. Probability of late tra...

Models for Image Interpolation Based on the Optical Flow
Optical flow is the 2D motion that needs to be recovered from a video sequence. In this paper we study variational principles for the generation of interpolating sequences between two images. The basic assump...

Long-term clinical and molecular remission after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with poor prognosis non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
From 1987 to 1999 35 patients with poor prognosis non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) at the University Hospitals of Vienna and Graz. Initial biopsy specimens were...

Excellent disease eradication by myeloablative therapy and stem-cell transplantation in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia
Between February 1982 and 1999, 118 consecutive patients (65 male, 53 female) with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), with a median age of 35 years (range 17–56 years), received stem-cell grafts from a human l...

Long-term follow-up of patients after related- and unrelated-donor bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia
Between January 1983 and December 1997, 88 patients (36 female, 52 male, median age 37 years, range 19–57) with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) at the...

Anaplastic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a patient with chronic cutaneous graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
We describe an allogeneic bone marrow (BM) recipient who developed aggressive, metastasizing squamous cell cancer (SCC) of the skin, and discuss possible risk factors in the development of this secondary solid...

Leukemia-free survival and mortality in patients with refractory or relapsed acute leukemia given marrow transplants from sibling and unrelated donors
Between April 1982 and February 1997 39 patients (24 male, 15 female) with refractory acute leukemia and a median age of 31 years (19–51 years) received allogeneic marrow grafts from an HLA-identical sibling (n =...
