Bone marrow examination is integral to the diagnosis of hematological and many non-hematologic disorders. With increase in the elderly population, rise in the incidence of age-related health conditions is being observed. There are few published studies on the disorders involving the bone marrow exclusively in the geriatric age group. We studied the bone marrow profile in the elderly age group (60 years and above) over a period of 1 year using bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Anemia was the most frequently diagnosed entity followed by multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Cases of leukemia, primary myelofibrosis and metastatic carcinoma were also encountered. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were found to be complementary.

Rotator cuff tears are the most common conditions in sports medicine and attract increasing attention. Scar tissue healing at the tendon-bone interface results in a high rate of retears, making it a major challenge to enhance the healing of the rotator cuff tendon-bone interface. Biomaterials currently employed for tendon-bone healing in rotator cuff tears still exhibit limited efficacy.

Adjuvants can enhance an immunological response, which is an important part of vaccine research. Pickering bubbles have been a mega-hit for biomedical applications, including visualization and targeted drug delivery. However, there have been no studies on Pickering bubbles as an immunological adjuvant, and the special properties and structures of Pickering bubbles may play an important role in immunization.

Objective: The expanding field of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for non-malignant diseases, including those amenable to gene therapy or gene editing, faces challenges due to limited donor availability and the toxicity associated with cell collection methods. Umbilical cord blood (CB) represents a readily accessible source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs); however, the cell dose obtainable from a single cord blood unit is frequently insufficient. This limitation can be addressed by enhancing the potency of HSPCs, specifically their capacity to reconstitute hematopoiesis.

Background: Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits (PGNMID) is a rare entity classified under the umbrella of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance. The clinical implications of circulating monoclonal immunoglobulin (MIg), light chain restriction on immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy, histopathological pattern, and type of therapy on renal outcomes are not clearly defined.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen patients of PGNMID diagnosed between 2013 and 2020 were included from a biopsy registry of 11,459 patients at a single center.
