Granulocyte Transfusions in Pediatric Hemato‐Oncology: Neutrophil Response and CRP Kinetics
ABSTRACT Background Granulocyte transfusions (GTXs) are used in neutropenic pediatric hemato‐oncology patients with infections unresponsive to antimicrobial therapy, but their clinical benefit remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric patients who received GTXs between 2013 and 2023 at a tertiary medical center.

Osteopetrosis complicated by multilevel spondylolysis
Osteopetrosis is a heterogenous group of inheritable disorders which manifests as increased bone density and brittleness. The most common and mildest variant typically presents in adulthood with bone pain and pathologic fractures, including spondylolysis.

ABSTRACT Osteoporosis, characterized by osteoclastic bone resorption, has been the focus of research. Studies implicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulate intracellularly during osteoclastogenesis. Salvianolic acid A (SAA), a compound derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders,

Summary In allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), important clinical decisions depend upon assessment of chimerism, including immunosuppressant dosing and donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI), which in turn can have major impacts on disease control, graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD), immunity and ultimately patient survival.
