Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as rescue therapy for refractory autoimmune retinopathy: a case report.

Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) is a rare, potentially blinding retinal disease that remains a challenging condition to manage when resistant to conventional immune-modulatory approaches. We report clinical and electrophysiological improvement in a 49-year-old patient who underwent an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (aHSCT) for thymoma-associated AIR after experiencing progressive disease despite receiving periocular and systemic steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, baricitinib, tacrolimus, bortezomib, rituximab, plasmapheresis, and intravenous immunoglobulin. The aHSCT had two stages: (i) peripheral blood stem cell harvest following mobilization with cyclophosphamide and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and (ii) conditioning regimen with plasmapheresis, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and anti-thymocyte globulin high-dose therapy, followed by autologous hematopoietic cell infusion of 5.

Background: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare complement-driven acquired hemolytic anemia with specific presentations of hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, fatigue, and thrombosis.
Objective: To review the current therapeutic strategies for PNH, including anti-complement therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), focusing on the tailoring of the approach to the disease subtype.
Results: The outcome of alloHCT varies depending on disease severity, thrombotic history, and response to prior therapies.
Clinical Outcomes of Isolated ACL Reconstruction Versus Combined ACL and ALL Reconstruction With Indication Guided by Intraoperative Ultrasound: A Propensity Score-Matched Study of 260 Patients With a Minimum 2-Year Follow-up.

Background: Additional anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction has been associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced failure rates in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Despite the excellent clinical results reported, there is still a heated debate about its indications. Currently, the indications are mainly based on the patient's clinical criteria and not the imaging diagnosis of the injury of this ligament.

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage organ failure. To improve transplantation outcomes, particularly of "marginal" organs from extended criteria donors (ECD), attempts have been made to therapeutically modulate donor or graft pre-transplantation. Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) has a history as lymphocyte-depleting, immunosuppressive drug for treating rejection episodes post transplantation.

Introduction: Physical exercise has repeatedly been reported to have advantageous effects on brain functions, including learning and memory formation. However, objective tools to measure such effects are often lacking. Eyeblink conditioning is a well-characterized method for studying the neural basis of associative learning.
