Since the description of the first cases in December 2019, the world is facing the emergence of a new coronavirus called "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" (SARS-CoV-2), which is responsible for an infectious disease mainly with respiratory manifestation and potently severe or even

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically reduced the death rate from AIDS and improved the quality of life of many HIV-infected individuals. However, ART does not eradicate HIV as demonstrated by the rapid return of viremia whenever treatment is interrupted. The possible long-term toxicity

Rationale: Current seasonal influenza vaccines mainly induce immune responses against viral membrane glycoproteins. These proteins, however, undergo continuous mutations by a process called antigenic drift. To prevent immune escape, annual vaccination with the latest predicted viral strains is

Study aim, background, and design Herpes Zoster (Shingles) is a major cause of pain and expense to the elderly and chronically ill. The incidence is estimated at 3 in 1,000 patients. Zostavax™ is a high dose, live varicella vaccine that has been validated in very large placebo control trials to

1. Introduction to investigational treatment(s) and other study treatment(s) 1.1 Overview of gemcitabine Gemcitabine (29,29-difluoro 29-deoxycytidine, dFdC) which developed from cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) is an nucleoside analog used as chemotherapy. It was intended as an antiviral drug in

Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a chronic immune mediated neuropathy, which affects patients at a relatively young age and necessitates treatment with immunoglobulins (Ig) to improve and maintain muscle strength. Subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) therapy for MMN is equally efficacious to

The Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of hematopoietic stem cell malignancies that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). PV and ET can evolve into myelofibrosis, termed post PV/ET MF.

Protocol Intrathecal Methotrexate for Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: An Open Label Single Arm Study Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized pathologically by demyelination, axonal loss, and glial scar formation. Clinically, most patients have a relapsing-remitting course of MS (RRMS)

For the participants a therapeutic regimen for platelet transfusions will be applied: for clinically stable patients platelet Transfusion will be given in case of bleeding WHO II° or higher, for clinically instable patients platelet transfusion will be given at the decretion of the attending

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal disorder characterized by the chromosomal translocation t(9;22) which produces a fusion gene encoding the chimeric oncoprotein, BCR- ABL. This protein harbors a deregulated constitutive activated tyrosine kinase (TK) leading to leukemogenesis [1]. Imatinib

The two most important causes of iron overload disease in humans are the iron-loading disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (HC), and transfusional siderosis in patients with chronic hematological diseases like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), thalassemia, and leukemia. Hemochromatosis. In HC the

There have been important advances in the modulation of the immune system for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. This protocol will build upon these previous observations as follows: - Haploidentical peripheral blood pheresed cells will be used at 1-2x108 CD3 cells/kg. -

Acute promielocitic leukaemia (APL) Among all the AML subtypes, APL has the distinction of being the most curable. The median age at diagnosis is 40 years, which is younger than with other AML subtypes. The fact that APL is more common in younger patients increases the likelihood that it may occur
