Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used to restore bone marrow function after high-dose chemotherapy. For apheresis, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is standard of care, but obtaining sufficient stem cells can be challenging. Other mobilization agents include plerixafor and PEGylated G-CSF (PEG-G-CSF).

Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a treatment option for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) that are refractory to disease-modifying therapy (DMT). AHSCT after failure of high-efficacy DMT in aggressive forms of relapsing-remitting MS is a generally accepted indication, yet the optimal placement of this approach in the treatment sequence is not universally agreed upon. Uncertainties also remain with respect to other indications, such as in rapidly evolving, severe, treatment-naive MS, progressive MS, and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

Diseases and injuries can cause significant bone loss, leading to increased medical expenses, decreased work efficiency, and a decline in quality of life. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is gaining attention as an alternative to autologous and allogeneic transplantation due to the limited availability of donors. Biomaterials represent a promising strategy for bone regeneration, and their design should consider the three key processes in bone tissue engineering: osteogenesis, bone conduction, and bone induction.

Comparison of Post-auricular Soft Tissue and Post-auricular Soft Tissue With Autologous Bone Pate in Obliteration of the Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy Cavity.

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research, Kolar, IND.

Background The surgical management of chronic otitis media (COM) with squamous disease is canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM). Canal wall down procedures require the obliteration of the newly formed cavity to mitigate complications. Soft tissue flaps, including Rambo flap, Hong Kong flap, Palva flap, and inferior-based fascio-periosteal flap, as well as autologous bone pâté, have been the most successful and commonly used materials for obliteration over the past two decades.

Background: Pelvic fractures often result in traumatic and intraoperative blood loss. Cell salvage (CS) is a tool where autologous blood lost during surgery is collected and recycled with anticoagulation, centrifugation to separate red blood cells, and washing to be reinfused back to the patient. The purpose of this study was to investigate our experience with CS in pelvic and acetabular surgery and its relationship to perioperative transfusion requirements.
