Thymic peptides in immune reconstitution and clinical outcome after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation
Abstract: Patients with hematologic malignancies or nonmalignant diseases may undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), which represents a potential curative treatment.However, they are still at risk of life-threatening complications, such as relapse, acute graft-versus-host disease, and opportunistic infections.These complicatio
Partitioning of dense RBC suspensions in single microfluidic bifurcations: role of cell deformability and bifurcation angle
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) are a key determinant of human physiology and their behaviour becomes extremely heterogeneous as they navigate in narrow, bifurcating vessels in the microvasculature, affecting local haemodynamics.This is due to partitioning in bifurcations which is dependent on the biomechanical properties of RBCs, especially deform
Bridging the Gap between Local Public Health and the Healthcare Community: The Public Health Talk
Background: District epidemiologists often rely on healthcare providers for medical information regarding reportable diseases in order to properly investigate cases.It becomes difficult when providers do not share patient information due to apprehension and/or lack of knowledge of HIPAA exemption laws.It is also challenging when the provider staff
