INTRODUCTION Hodgkin's lymphoma is a highly curable disease. Autologous and reduced intensity allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantations are alternatives to treat relapsed patients. Here, we report on the results of one service using these procedures. METHODS All patients who underwent transplantations in our institution between 1996 and 2014 were retrospectively studied and demographics,...

background: bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cellscan transdifferentiate into cardiomyocyte cells and improveheart function after transplantation. since biomaterials canimprove the cell retention in the site, cell survival and differentiation,heart tissue engineering is now being explored as anapplied solution to support cell-based therapies and increasetheir efficacy for myocardial diseases. ch...

Importance Autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation has become a standard technique and is widely applied. The major weak point that long time results, especially sudies about term volumetric survival of the grafts have not been available yet. Observations We compared literature volume after transplantation, including recent findings six years transfer to breast, showing stable re...

High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) have become an effective care for many patients with hematological malignancies. Harvesting the stem cells is one the most important parts of SCT. The two most commonly used mobilization regimens are the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or G-CSF plus chemotherapy. However, about 10-30% of patients are unab...
