Cover story:We performed a retrospective study of allogeneic HSCT for severe aplastic anaemia. Sibling and MUD outcomes were similar, however patients aged >40 years had inferior survival due to high incidence of acute kidney injury requiring modification of GVHD prophylaxis. Further research is required to optimise HSCT conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis protocols in older patients. View this paper.

The Role of Surveillance Bronchoscopy Following a Lung Transplantationby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract Pulmonary transplantation (LuTx) is established as a treatment option for patients with end-stage lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Acute rejection and infection are implicated as [...] |
Donor Cell-Derived Acute Myeloid Leukaemia with 3q26.2 Involvement/MECOM Rearrangement ‐ A Case Report and Literature Reviewby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract Donor cell-derived leukaemia (DCL) is an uncommon complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). DCL might represent up to 5% of the post-HSCT disease relapses, but case numbers reported in the literature might underestimate the frequency. The leukemogenesis of DCL is not [...] |
The Roles of Collagen in Islet TransplantationAbstract Islet transplantation is a cellular replacement therapy for severe diabetes mellitus. Although the clinical outcome of islet transplant has been improving, the transplant efficacy of this treatment is not superior to that of pancreatic organ transplantation, a similar transplant therapy. Various fac [...] |
Current Assessment of Clinical Pancreatic Islet Allotransplantationby
![]() ![]() Abstract Clinical islet allotransplantation represents a minimally invasive, efficacious alternative to pancreas transplantation for restoring glycemic control and insulin independence in select patients with type 1 diabetes that is complicated by intractable impaired hypoglycemia awareness and/or severe hyp [...] |
Mauss and Organ Transplants: Ideas of Connectivity between Recipients and Donors and the “Spirit of the Gift”Abstract This article aims to describe the relationship between donors and their recipients in the context of organ transplants. This analysis is made in the light of Marcel Mauss’s work, offering an expansion on an analysis of his discussion on the “spirit of the gift” and his idea that gifts require recipr [...] |
Liver Transplantation as a Cure for Neurologically Advanced Wilson’s disease. Learning More from ExperienceAbstract Clinical presentation and progression of Wilson’s disease can be diverse in different groups of patients. While young children most likely to present with acute or chronic liver failure, older children and adults may exhibit extrahepatic manifestation like neuropsychiatric, cardiac, renal, pancreati [...] |
Appropriate Vancomycin Use and Incidence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in Liver Transplant RecipientsAbstract Liver transplant recipients (LTRs) are at risk for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infections which can lead to significant morbidity or mortality. Antibiotic exposure, including vancomycin, is associated with greater risk of VRE infection. This study aimed to assess the appropriateness of v [...] |
“Real World” Australian Experience of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) in Adults with Severe Aplastic Anaemia.by
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract Acquired Severe Aplastic Anaemia (SAA) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome, for which allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a proven curative therapy. Despite excellent outcomes for matched sibling SAA recipients in terms of engraftment and survival, HSCT remains highly challen [...] |
Donor Derived Strongyloidiasis in a Lung Transplant Recipient: From Life Cycle to Hyperinfection Syndromeby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract Strongyloides stercoralis infection derived from the donor in solid organ transplant (SOT) places recipients at risk for hyperinfection syndrome and death. We describe the case of a lung transplant recipient who developed strongyloidiasis presenting with GI symptoms and progressing to diffuse alveol [...] |
