hepatic veno-occlusive disease/吐き気

Mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disease (MIVOD) is a relatively recently known and not very often diagnosed form of ischemic bowel disease of low incidence und unknown etiology. We present the case of a patient who after presentation of inconclusive signs of epigastric pain and rectal

Twenty-four patients between the ages of 8 and 48 years (median 27.5) with high-risk for relapse hematologic malignancy received a marrow transplant from an HLA and MLC compatible sibling donor after chemotherapy with busulfan, 4 mg/kg/day for 4 days by mouth, cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/day i.v. for

OBJECTIVE High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHCT) is a well-defined treatment modality for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Although there are several options in terms of conditioning regimens before

As adverse reactions to the combination treatment by the digestive system, we observed the occurrence of nausea and vomiting in 15% of the cases who received FTP treatment consisting of 5-FU, toyomicin and prednisone, 25% of the cases who received MFU treatment consisting of MMC, 5-FU and ACNU, and

A paucity of information is available on the use of parenteral nutrition (PN) in patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). To characterize the utilization of PN in patients undergoing PBSCT, we conducted a retrospective chart review study on adult patients receiving

We studied 30 pediatric patients with malignant (n = 16) or nonmalignant (n = 14) conditions. The preparative regimen consisted of fludarabine, intravenous (IV) busulfan (Bu) for 2 daily doses, and antithymocyte globulin before stem cell transplantation. A test dose of IV Bu (0.8 mg/kg), anticipated

The authors reviewed the liver histopathology and the clinical features of eight patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer who were treated by hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) via an implantable pump (Infusaid). Before HAIC, these patients had no evidence of hepatitis, and

Pretransplant conditioning therapy with i.v. BuCy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (BMT) was investigated in a phase II trial in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We gave i.v. Bu at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg every 6h x 16 doses,

High-dose chemotherapy with autologous SCT has become standard of care for patients with relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). To improve safety and efficacy of this treatment, new conditioning regimens are being developed. We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of patients with

Previous studies have found a connection between psychiatric problems and post-hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) complications. We sought to evaluate the effect of sertraline on engraftment time, hospitalization period, mortality, and post-transplantation complications in HSCT

The seeds and roots of Heliotropium lasocarpium, contain a pyrrolizidine alkaloid which causes toxic liver injury and veno-occlusive disease (VOD), characterised by an occlusive lesion of the centrolobular veins of the liver, when consumed by humans. The Farkhar region of Southern Tadjikistan, was

Twenty-four patients with a variety of malignant diseases (13 lymphoma, 4 myeloma, 1 ALL, 6 solid tumours) were treated with the alkylating agents busulphan and melphalan as a preparative regimen for autologous BMT. Thirteen males and 11 females, aged 27-53 years (median 39.5 years) received oral

Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(auto-PBSCT)combined with high-dose chemotherapy has been considered as the standard therapy for relapsed or induction therapy-refractory aggressive lymphomas sensitive to chemotherapy. While various regimens have been applied as the

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) targets leukemia cells that express CD33 by means of a humanized anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody conjugated to a modified antitumor antibiotic, calicheamicin. The effects of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (given intravenously at a dose of 9 mg/m2 for 2 doses separated by 2

OBJECTIVE To determine the acute and late effects, including cognitive function, of total body irradiation (TBI) and chemotherapy for bone transplant (BMT) in children with immunodeficiency or hematologic disorders. METHODS At UCSF, 15 children with immunodeficiency disorders and 58 children with
