Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor–Primed Bone Marrow Transplantation Experience in 350 Matched Sibling Donor Grafts for Severe Thalassemia Open
Our experience suggests that G-BM is associated with prompt engraftment and very low rates of moderate or severe GVHD. It also appears to be safe for donors and decreases the risk for third-party red blood cell transfusions. Finally, it is…

Bone Marrow Quality Index: A Predictor of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Thalassemia Open
Bone marrow (BM) continues to be the preferred source of stem cells in allogenic transplantation for nonmalignant disorders. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-primed BM is associated with low rates of acute graft-versus-host di…

Host Vs. Graft Mismatches May Impact on Rejection of Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplants in Thalassemia Patients Using Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide Open
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) may cure and normalize health-related quality of life in over 80% of low-risk children with severe thalassemias (ST). Partially matched-related (haploidentical) transplants (Haplo) with the use of post-BMT…

The Case for High Resolution Extended 6-Loci HLA Typing for Identifying Related Donors in the Indian Subcontinent Open
Three-loci low-resolution (LR) or intermediate-resolution HLA typing is generally considered adequate in the related blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) context. However, a single high-resolution (HR) mismatch may have a similar adverse…

A study of the noncompliance of blood banks on safety and quality parameters in blood donation camps in Bengaluru Open
For all 16 parameters under study, significant NC was observed. As a whole private hospital based blood banks were more noncompliant. The high degree of NC to matters relating to quality and safety in VBDCs is high and warrants for urgent …
