Unilaterally Selective Adrenal Vein Sampling for Identification of Surgically Curable Primary Aldosteronism.

Background: Adrenal venous sampling is recommended for the identification of unilateral surgically curable primary aldosteronism but is often clinically useless, owing to failed bilateral adrenal vein cannulation.

Objectives: To investigate if only unilaterally selective adrenal vein sampling studies can allow the identification of the responsible adrenal.

Methods: Among 1625 patients consecutively submitted to adrenal vein sampling in tertiary referral centers, we selected those with selective adrenal vein sampling results in at least one side; we used surgically cured unilateral primary aldosteronism as gold reference.

Unrelated or haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in second complete remission for acute myeloid leukemia-Improved outcomes over time: A European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Acute Leukemia Working Party study.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only cure for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in second complete remission (CR2). Patients lacking a matched sibling donor (MSD) receive transplants from matched unrelated donors (MUDs), mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs), haploidentical (haplo) donors, or cord blood.

Methods: This is a retrospective, registry-based European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation study that investigates changes in patient- and transplant-related characteristics and posttransplant outcomes over time.
