Role of HRCT Chest in Post Stem Cell Transplant Recipients Suspected of Pulmonary Complications [PDF]
Introduction: Stem cell transplantation is today’s procedure of choice for management of various hematopoietic malignant and severe immunogenic disorders. High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) is a common technique for the diagnosis of pulmonary

Rehabilitation in Children With Sclerodermoid Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: Case Series [PDF]
Joint contracture in chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is refractory to treatment, and tends to deteriorate gradually over time. There is scant clinical research focusing on timing and intensity of rehabilitation on joint contractures in children

Small Bowel Perforation Associated With Gastrointestinal Graft-Versus-Host Disease and Cytomegalovirus Enteritis in a Patient With Leukemia: A Case Report With Literature Review [PDF]
Gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Concomitant cytomegalovirus (CMV) enteritis worsens the prognosis of this condition.

Prevention of graft-vs.-host disease [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative treatment for many malignant and non-malignant hematologic disorders. However, graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) remains a major complication of allogeneic HCT and limits the success of this approach.This paper reviews recent developments in the prevention of acute and chronic GVHD.

Regulation of autoimmunity and donor cell engraftment by recipient Lyt-2+ cells during the graft-versus-host reaction. [PDF]
When lymphocytes from DBA/2 mice are transferred to (C57BL X DBA/2)F1 (BDF1) mice, the ensuing graft-vs.-host reaction (GVHR) causes an autoimmune illness resembling human SLE.
