Aims: To determine the diagnostic and prognostic value the bone marrow aspiration in children with severe deficiency anaemia.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study we analysed 75 children 0-4 years of age who were diagnosed and treated from severe anaemia (Hb < 8g/dl) at Haematologic outpatient and hospital department of Pediatric Clinic in Sarajevo in period of 01.01.1999. to 31.12.1999.

Results: We analyzed totally 75 children--37 (49.33%) boys and 38 (50.67%) girls. Morphologic finding of bone marrow aspirate smear showed: features of ferriprive flora in 24% of analyzed patients; dimorphic bone marrow features in 9.3% of patients; feriprivic flora with dyshematopoesis in 62.7% and megaloblasic anaemia features in 1.3% of analyzed patients. In two children we diagnosed leukemias from bone marrow aspirate; one was ALL/L2 and the second was AML/M2 leukemia.

Conclusion: The most frequent found features of bone marrow aspirate were: feriprivic flora with dyshematopoesis. There was only one case of the megaloblastic bone marrow. But, the finding of dymorphic bone marrow indicated to pluricareny of ethiologic factors for beginning severe nutrititive anaemia. Special value of this paper was discovering of two cases of leukemia by the bone marrow aspirate analysis.

High degree of variability in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) system restricts availability of histocompatible HLA-matched-related donors, thus increasing reliance on worldwide bone marrow registries network. Nevertheless, due to limited coverage/accessibility/affordability of some ethnicities in these registries, haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) emerged as an alternative option, though with allorecognition-mediated graft versus host disease (GvHD) (>40% cases). A dimorphism [-21 methionine (M) or threonine (T)] in HLA-B leader peptide (exon 1) which differentially influences its HLA-E binding, plausibly regulates natural killer cell functionality, affecting GvHD vulnerability and clinically in practice for donor selection.

Individuals diagnosed with Castleman disease (CD) and TAFRO syndrome (characterized by thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, bone marrow fibrosis, and organomegaly) displays a wide range of clinical symptoms, including varying patterns of lymph node enlargement, systemic inflammation, and impaired organ function. Some patients may present with both CD and TAFRO syndrome concurrently. A retrospective study conducted across multiple centers in Japan examined 321 cases to determine if the quantity and position of swollen lymph nodes could forecast the clinical progression and intensity of these conditions.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established treatment for selected patients with inborn errors of metabolism. In this first report from the PDWP-SBTMO, we included 105 patients transplanted between 1988 and 2021 across six Brazilian HSCT centers. The most prevalent diseases were X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (n = 61) and mucopolysaccharidosis (type I n = 20; type II n = 10), with a median age at HSCT of 8.

The objective of this study was to tailor an osteoinductive scaffold for alveolar bone regeneration and around immediately placed implants in extraction sockets of dogs. Tailored amorphous multiporous bioactive glass (TAMP -BG) was prepared and characterized for bioactivity and response of human alveolar bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hABMSCs). Extraction sockets of twenty-two male mongrel dogs received TAMP-BG in the right side around implant in the distal socket of the mandibular fourth premolar (P4), while the adjacent empty mesial socket of the same tooth was filled with the same graft.

Low back pain (LBP) is a commonly encountered medical disorder in Malaysia's primary care setting, though establishing a direct connection between LBP and the workplace environment in adults is challenging. This case presents a clinic nurse who developed LBP due to a prolapsed intervertebral disc and her clinical management from an Occupational Health Doctor perspective. Her occupational management involved a walk-through survey at an urban hospital, which identified bone marrow aspiration as her most physically demanding task.
