Late Effects in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients with Acquired Severe Aplastic Anemia: A Report from the Late Effects Working Committee of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research

With improvements in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes for severe aplastic anemia (SAA), there is a growing population of SAA survivors after HCT. However, there is a paucity of information regarding late effects that occur after HCT in SAA survivors. This study describes the malignant and nonmalignant late effects in survivors with SAA after HCT. A descriptive analysis was conducted of 1718 patients post-HCT for acquired SAA between 1995 and 2006 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). the prevalence and cumulative incidence estimates of late effects are reported for 1-year HCT survivors with SAA. of the HCT recipients, 1176 (68.5%) and 542 (31.5%) patients underwent a matched sibling donor (MSD) or unrelated donor (URD) HCT, respectively. the median age at the time of HCT was 20 years. the median interval from diagnosis to transplantation was 3 months for MSD HCT and 14 months for URD HCT. the median follow-up was 70 months and 67 months for MSD and URD HCT survivors, respectively. Overall survival at I year, 2 years, and 5 years for the entire cohort was 76% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 74-78), 73% (95% CI: 71-75), and 70% (95% CI: 68-72). Among 1-year survivors of MSD HCT, 6% had 1 late effect and 1% had multiple late effects. for 1-year survivors of URD HCT, 13% had 1 late effect and 2% had multiple late effects. Among survivors of MSD HCT, the cumulative incidence estimates of developing late effects were all <3% and did not increase over time. in contrast, for recipients of URD HCT, the cumulative incidence of developing several late effects exceeded 3% by 5 years: gonadal dysfunction 10.5% (95% CI: 7.3-14.3), growth disturbance 7.2% (95% CI: 4.4-10.7), avascular necrosis 6.3% (95% CI: 3.6-9.7), hypothyroidism 5.5% (95% CI: 2.8-9.0), and cataracts 5.1% (95% CI: 2.9-8.0). Our results indicated that all patients undergoing HCT for SAA remain at risk for late effects, must be counseled about, and should be monitored for late effects for the remainder of their lives.Public Health Service Grant from the National Cancer InstituteNational Heart, Lung, and Blood InstituteNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious DiseasesNational Cancer InstituteHealth Resources and Services Administration/Department of Health and Human ServicesOffice of Naval ResearchAllosAmgenAngioblastChildrens Hosp Orange Cty, Dept Hematol, Orange, CA 92668 USACIBMTR Med Coll Wisconsin, Dept Biostat, Milwaukee, WI USAMed Coll Wisconsin, CIBMTR Stat Ctr, Milwaukee, WI 53226 USAKing Faisal Specialist Hosp & Res Ctr, Dept Oncol, Riyadh 11211, Saudi ArabiaNew York Med Coll, Dept Pediat Hematol Oncol & Stem Cell Transplanta, Valhalla, NY 10595 USAStemcyte, Covina, CA USADana Farber Canc Inst, Dept Pediat Oncol, Boston, MA 02115 USAUniv Florida, Dept Hematol Oncol, Gainesville, FL USAPrincess Margaret Hosp, Dept Med, Toronto, ON M4X 1K9, CanadaUniv S Florida, All Childrens Hosp, Dept Pediat Hematol & Oncol, St Petersburg, FL 33701 USAUniv Basel Hosp, Dept Hematol, CH-4031 Basel, SwitzerlandOregon Hlth & Sci Univ, Dept Hematol & Oncol, Portland, OR 97201 USAChildrens Natl Med Ctr, Dept Blood & Marrow Transplantat, Washington, DC 20010 USABaylor Coll Med, Ctr Cell Therapy, Dept Hematol & Oncol, Houston, TX 77030 USAUniv N Carolina Hosp, Dept Pediat, Chapel Hill, NC USAUniv Hosp Case, Med Ctr, Dept Med, Cleveland, OH USAUniv Arkansas Med Sci, Dept Hematol & Oncol, Little Rock, AR 72205 USACincinnati Childrens Hosp Med Ctr, Dept Bone Marrow Transplantat & Immune Deficiency, Cincinnati, OH USATufts Med Ctr, Dept Med & Pediat, Boston, MA USAUniv S Florida, Coll Med, H Lee Moffitt Canc Ctr & Res Inst, Dept Hematol & Oncol, Tampa, FL 33612 USAFlorida Ctr Cellular Therapy, Dept Med, Orlando, FL USAUniv Fed Parana, Dept Bone Marrow Transplantat, BR-80060000 Curitiba, Parana, BrazilVanderbilt Univ, Med Ctr, Dept Med, Nashville, TN USAInst Oncol Pediat, Dept Pediat, São Paulo, BrazilFred Hutchinson Canc Res Ctr, Dept Clin Res & Transplantat, Seattle, WA 98104 USAMt Sinai Med Ctr, Dept Bone Marrow & Stem Cell Transplantat, New York, NY 10029 USAUniv N Carolina Hosp, Dept Hematol & Oncol, Chapel Hill, NC USAUniv Manitoba, CancerCare Manitoba, Dept Manitoba Blood & Marrow Transplant Program, Winnipeg, MB, CanadaKarolinska Univ Hosp, Ctr Allogene Stem Cell Transplantat, Dept Pediat, Stockholm, SwedenLouisiana State Univ, Hlth Sci Ctr, Childrens Hosp, Dept Pediat, New Orleans, LA USADept Natl Marrow Donor Program, Minneapolis, MN USAPublic Health Service Grant from the National Cancer Institute: U24-CA76518National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute: 5U01HL069294Office of Naval Research: N00014-06-1-0704Office of Naval Research: N00014-08-1-0058HHSH234200637015CWeb of Scienc

Mucopolysaccharidosis I, II, and VI: Brief review and guidelines for treatment

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare genetic diseases caused by the deficiency of one of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) breakdown pathway. This metabolic block leads to the accumulation of GAG in various organs and tissues of the affected patients, resulting in a multisystemic clinical picture, sometimes including cognitive impairment. Until the beginning of the XXI century, treatment was mainly supportive. Bone marrow transplantation improved the natural course of the disease in some types of MPS, but the morbidity and mortality restricted its use to selected cases. The identification of the genes involved, the new molecular biology tools and the availability of animal models made it possible to develop specific enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) for these diseases. At present, a great number of Brazilian medical centers from all regions of the country have experience with ERT for MPS I, II, and VI, acquired not only through patient treatment but also in clinical trials. Taking the three types of MPS together, over 200 patients have been treated with ERT in our country. This document summarizes the experience of the professionals involved, along with the data available in the international literature, bringing together and harmonizing the information available on the management of these severe and progressive diseases, thus disclosing new prospects for Brazilian patients affected by these conditions

Acciones educativas en un Programa de Agentes Comunitarios de Salud

Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar e analisar as ações educativas realizadas por um Programa de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo, considerando as concepções pedagógicas e os aspectos intervenientes que aproximam e afastam a equipe da mudança de prática pretendida pelo programa. É uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com análise de conteúdo, modalidade temática. O estudo evidenciou que a concepção pedagógica predominante é a da transmissão de informações voltada para prevenção de doenças, embora existam algumas ações próximas da pedagogia participativa. A organização do trabalho e o vínculo com a população também interferem no trabalho educativo. Conclui-se que as ações educativas ainda são alicerçadas no preventivismo com desafios para promoção da saúde e carecem de investimentos em formação e na organização da rede assistencial

Richness of marine invertebrate communities across latitude with exposure to predation (Competition and Predation across Latitude)

Dataset: Richness of marine invertebrate communities across latitude with exposure to predationRichness of sessile marine invertebrates from coastal sites across a latitudinal gradient spanning the subarctic to the tropics. Invertebrate communities developed under low predation for three or 12 months within cages and then underwent exposure to predation or were re-caged as controls. This experiment provided an assessment of predation impact on mature communities to complement predator exclusion experiments that measured impact of predators on prey community assembly.
