Long-term follow-up of a pilot study using a chemotherapy-alone protocol for killer Ig-like receptor-ligand-mismatched haploidentical haematopoietic SCT
Advanced haematological malignancies are incurable without allogeneic haematopoietic SCT (HSCT). Many patients do not have a human leukocyte Ag (HLA)-matched donor; hence, haploidentical HSCT has been explored...

Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who maintain a complete molecular response after stop** imatinib treatment have evidence of persistent leukemia by DNA PCR
Around 40–50% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who achieve a stable complete molecular response (CMR; undetectable breakpoint cluster region-Abelson leukemia gene human homolog 1 (BCR–ABL1) mRNA) o...

Calcitonin Receptor Expression in Embryonic, Foetal and Adult Tissues: Developmental and Pathophysiological Implications
It has been well established that the calcitonin receptor (CTR) mediates the actions of calcitonin in bone homeostatic mechanisms during growth and in adulthood. However, the widespread expression of CTR in em...

A randomized comparison of empiric or pre-emptive antibiotic therapy after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
We performed a randomized comparison of pre-emptive and empiric antibiotic therapy for adult patients undergoing allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplantation. One hundred and fifty-three patients were ra...

Successful mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells using recombinant human stem cell factor in heavily pretreated patients who have failed a previous attempt with a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-based regimen
To assess the efficacy of recombinant human stem cell factor (rHuSCF), 48 patients who had failed to mobilize >2.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (10 μg/kg twice daily) wi...

Optimal scheduling to reduce morbidity of involved field radiotherapy with transplantation for lymphomas: A Prospective Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group Study
This study evaluated delivery of involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) with transplantation for lymphomas timed to minimise toxicity. Patients transplanted for lymphoma had infradiaphragmatic disease irradiated p...

Improved detection of clinically significant host-reactive antigens prior to HLA-identical sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using a dendritic cell-based helper T-lymphocyte precursor assay
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) due to host-reactive antigenic differences between HLA-identical pairs remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic transplantation. The helper T-lymp...

Imatinib produces significantly superior molecular responses compared to interferon alfa plus cytarabine in patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase
We analyzed molecular responses in 55 newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients enrolled in a phase 3 study (the IRIS trial) comparing imatinib to interferon-alfa plus cytarabine (I...

Cytomegalovirus viral load monitoring after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in patients receiving antiviral prophylaxis
Cytomegalovirus viral load measurement is a powerful new tool for monitoring of CMV disease; however, the optimal strategy for use is unknown. Weekly plasma CMV viral loads and CMV-related outcomes were monito...

Successful mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells after addition of ancestim (stem cell factor) in patients who had failed a prior mobilization with filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) alone or with chemotherapy plus filgrastim
This study assessed the ability of recombinant human stem cell factor (rHuSCF) to mobilize stem cells in 44 patients who had failed a prior mobilization (CD34+ yield 0.5–1.9 × 106/kg BW) with filgrastim-alone or ...

Successful Control of Disseminated Scedosporium prolificans Infection with a Combination of Voriconazole and Terbinafine
Disseminated Scedosporium prolificans infections are almost uniformly fatal because of their resistance to antifungal agents. Recently, synergy between triazoles and terbinafine has been demonstrated against Sced...
