To show the efficacy of an allogenic bone graft in elective foot surgery, the authors report on 39 consecutive procedures in which allograft was implanted in 26 patients during a 30-month period. These procedures were performed for a variety of conditions, including arthrodesis, segmental lengthening, and treatment of nonunion. Allograft material consisted of freeze-dried tricortical iliac crest or demineralized bone matrix used either alone or as a composite. Allograft incorporation in all surgical procedures was retrospectively analyzed. Of 39 consecutive implant procedures, there were 38 healed sites (97%) and 1 nonunion (3%). After radiographic and clinical evaluation of allograft incorporation, the authors conclude that allogenic bone graft is a viable option for a multitude of foot conditions.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the outcomes of Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) in the treatment of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS). A literature search was performed on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. After screening 397 articles, 10 studies were included.

Despite recent advances in the targeted therapy of AML, the disease continues to have a poor prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) remains to be the curative therapy option for fit patients with high-risk disease. Especially patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) AML continue to have poor outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the gene mutation profile and prognostic significance of adult cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) with mutation.

Methods: Targeted sequencing was implemented on the diagnostic bone marrow DNA samples of 141 adult CN-AML subjects with mutation. The nomogram model for leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate was generated by combining genetic abnormalities and clinical data.

Despite substantial advances in the acute management of stroke, it remains a leading cause of adult disability and mortality worldwide. Currently, the reperfusion modalities thrombolysis and thrombectomy benefit only a fraction of patients in the hyperacute phase of ischemic stroke. Thus, with the exception of vagal nerve stimulation combined with intensive physical therapy, there are no approved neuroprotective/neurorestorative therapies for stroke survivors.

Background: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is one of the most devastating outcomes of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This remains an area of unmet clinical need for optimal therapy for BOS patients partly due to the limited understanding of pathogenic mechanisms.

Methods: We collected blood samples from 22 patients with cGVHD and 11 patients without cGVHD following allo-HSCT.
