[Hematopoietic Transplantation Outcomes in Patients with HLA-Identical, Haploidentical, and Unrelated Donors at a University Hospital in Chile].

Unlabelled: Allogeneic transplantation (HSCT) is a curative option for several hematological diseases. Our center has privileged the use of identical family donors (IFD) or haploidentical (HD) donors. However, the chances of finding family donors may be challenging in small families or unsuitable donors.

Relationship of Interleukin 6 with Hepatic Steatosis and Liver Fibrosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis at a Rheumatology Care Center in Cartagena, Colombia.

Background/objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association of IL-6 with steatotic liver disease (SLD) and liver fibrosis (LF) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients at a rheumatology center in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that included RA and non-RA cases. The level of cellular expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6) was evaluated by flow cytometry in peripheral blood leukocytes, and the presence of SLD and LF was detected by elastosonography.

[Erdheim Chester Histiocytosis as a Diagnostic Challenge in a Systemic Presentation: A Case Report].

Histiocytosis are caused by pathogenic myeloid cells, and can be classified as Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and non-LCH. Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a non-LCH, characterized by multi-organ involvement, typical imaging findings, and confirmatory histological studies. A case with multi-organ involvement and histological confirmation is presented.

Integrating sexual and reproductive health in higher education and healthcare services in Ukraine: A sustainable initiative for empowering war-affected youth.

Integrating Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) into educational programs and healthcare services supports the EU Eastern Partnership and the UN's Agenda 2030. A Swedish Institute (SI)-funded project empowers undergraduate students in medicine, psychology, and social work to support SRHR among youth and young adults in wartime and post-war Ukraine by incorporating the subject into university curricula. In August 2024, a study tour to Sweden was conducted by managers and faculty from Ukrainian universities, during which the visitors to Sweden identified the need to establish Youth Clinics at Ukrainian universities to address the SRHR needs of the war-affected youth population.

Comparison between different reduced intensity conditioning regimens in AML/MDS patients in a Latin American center of adult stem cell transplantation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for several hematological diseases. Prospective and retrospective studies have associated myeloablative conditioning regimens with increased non-relapse mortality and less intense regimens with disease relapse, leading to similar overall survival rates. Analyze the experience with the different RIC schemes in patients transplanted for AML/MDS in our program.
