OBJECTIVE
Nausea and vomiting (NV) related to DMSO affect patients undergoing auto-SCT despite antiemetic measures. Orange flavoring may reduce gastrointestinal symptoms.
METHODS
A multicenter, randomized, three-arm, open-label trial in four Italian large bone marrow transplant centers was conducted
BACKGROUND
For over 2 decades, oncology nurses at a regional comprehensive cancer center offered sliced oranges to patients during the reinfusion of autologous hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) to relieve symptoms associated with the preservative dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

OBJECTIVE
Delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) continues to be a problem in patients undergoing a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) despite progress in antiemetic prophylaxis. This study investigated the clinical course of nausea and vomiting (NV) and retching over the 5 days
A retrospective review of the published literature identified several hundred adverse reactions (e.g. nausea, chills, cardiac arrhythmias, neurological symptoms and respiratory arrest) associated with the transplantation of stem cells cryopreserved with dimethyl sulfoxide. The occurrences of these
DMSO is an amphipathic molecule with a highly polar domain and two apolar methyl groups, making it soluble in both aqueous and organic media. It is one of the most common solvents for the in vivo administration of several water-insoluble substances. Despite being frequently used as a solvent in
OBJECTIVE
Endoscopic sphincterotomy has become a generally accepted method for extracting common bile duct stones in high risk or cholecystectomized patients. However, stone extraction is impossible by the usual methods in 5 to 10% of cases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of cryopreserved and thawed peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) fractionated return infusions in children. 35 children patients with malignant tumors (13 acute leukaemias, 15 neuroblastomas and 7 malignant lymphomas) received fractionated return
Preparation of cord blood (CB) units for infusion by albumin-dextran dilution without centrifugation may be advantageous for adult patients to minimize cell loss and, unlike a bedside thaw, is still conducted in the controlled laboratory environment. Therefore, we studied CB transplantation (CBT)
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to determine the safety of diclofenac sodium topical solution 1.5% (w/w) in 45.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (TDiclo) for the treatment of knee or hand osteoarthritis in persons aged 75 years or older.
METHODS
A pooled analysis of safety data from seven multicenter, randomized,
BACKGROUND
Genital herpes is incurable, and is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). First-episode genital herpes is the first clinical presentation of herpes that a person experiences. Current treatment is based around viral suppression in order to decrease the length and severity of the
CELL INJURIES DURING FREEZING AND THAWING: The aim of various cryopreservation procedures is to minimize cell injuries during the freeze-thaw cycle (cryoinjuries). Generally, the cell damage during freezing and thawing procedures may be the results of: (a) extensive cellular dehydration (solution
BACKGROUND
The use of hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplant has risen over the past two decades. A variety of adverse events (AEs) of varying severity have been noted during HPC infusions. These AEs have been associated with several factors such as the amount of dimethyl sulfoxide and white
Hematopoietic cell infusion-related adverse events (HCI-AEs) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs) have been largely attributed to toxicity of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for cryopreservation, but HSC products also contain various cells and plasma components. Our recent A 63-year-old woman who started to have polyarthralgia in December 1993 has been diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and treated with muscular injection of gold sodium thiomalate. She began to have nausea, vomiting, anorexia and watery diarrhea in October 1995. A year later, she had to receive
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a recently developed biphasic multicomponent solvent in 39 patients with biliary duct stones that are too large (15-35 mm) to be removed after endoscopic sphincterotomy. From November 1991 to October 1993, 37 patients with common bile duct stones
