MS patients are in sustained remission after stem cell transplantation, small study finds
Most patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) who are taking part in a small study of high dose immunosuppressive therapy followed by transplantation of their own haematopoietic stem cells have experienced sustained remission for three years, a study has found.

Platelet transfusions to treat bleeding compared with platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding in people with blood cancers receiving intensive treatment | Cochrane
We evaluated the evidence regarding whether giving platelet transfusions to patients with low platelets who are bleeding (therapeutically) is as effective and safe as giving platelet transfusions regularly to prevent bleeding (prophylactically). Our target population was people with blood cancers who were receiving intensive myelosuppressive (causing decreased blood cell production) chemotherapy treatments or stem cell transplantation.

Stem Cell Transplantation in Severe Congenital Neutropenia: An Analysis From the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation: Abstract and Introduction
Abstract and Introduction: Matched donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has a good outcome in severe congenital neutropenia, but careful patient selection is needed because of high transplant-related mortality.

Different doses of platelet transfusion for preventing bleeding in people with low platelet counts due to treatment-induced bone marrow failure | Cochrane
We evaluated the evidence about whether low-dose platelet transfusions (platelet transfusions containing a lower number of platelets (1.1 x 1011/m2 ± 25%)) given to prevent bleeding in people with low platelet counts were as effective and safe as standard-dose (2.2 x 1011/m2 ± 25%) or high-dose platelet transfusions (platelet transfusions containing a larger number of platelets (4.4 x 1011/m2 ± 25%)) given regularly to prevent bleeding (prophylactically). Our target population was children and adults with blood cancers who were receiving intensive chemotherapy treatments or stem cell transplantation.

Platelet transfusions are used to prevent bleeding in people with low platelet counts due to treatment-induced bone marrow failure | Cochrane
We evaluated the evidence about whether platelet transfusions given to prevent bleeding in people with lower platelet counts (for example 5 x 109/L or below) were as effective and safe as the current standard (10 x 109/L or below), or whether higher platelet count levels (20 x 109/L or below, 30 x 109/L or below, or 50 x 109/L or below) were safer than the current standard (10 x 109/L or below). Our target population was people with blood cancers (for example leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma) who were receiving intensive (myelosuppressive) chemotherapy treatments or stem cell transplantation.

Use ATG for Stem Cell Transplantation in Hematologic Cancers
In recipients of nonrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplants, rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is associated with lower rates of chronic graft-vs-host disease. Should it be the standard of care?

“Impressive results” in stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis
Aggressive immunosuppression followed by autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) halted clinical relapses and the development of new brain lesions for a prolonged period in most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) taking part in a small early stage trial, results published in the Lancet have shown.1
