Myeloablative Busulfan, Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Childhood Myeloid Malignancy

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
We report our single‐center experience of transplant outcomes with a busulfan, fludarabine and melphalan‐based conditioning regimen for children < 18 years of age. The regimen was shown to be well tolerated and effective for heavily pretreated children with high‐risk myeloid malignancies prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Outcomes of a Routine Screening Protocol to Prevent Metamycoplasma and Ureaplasma Infection in Lung Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study analyzed outcomes of an early Mollicute (Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp.) screening protocol using BAL PCR with preemptive treatment and ammonia monitoring in lung transplant recipients. This appears to be a practical and reasonably effective approach for preventing early Mollicute infection and hyperammonemia syndrome.
