Journal ArticleDOI
Nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation is an effective therapy for refractory or relapsed hodgkin lymphoma: results of a spanish prospective cooperative protocol.
Ivan Alvarez,Anna Sureda,Maria Dolores Caballero,Alvaro Urbano-Ispizua,Josep M. Ribera,Miguel Canales,Javier García-Conde,Guillermo Sanz,Reyes Arranz,Maria Teresa Bernal,Javier de la Serna,José L. Díez,José M. Moraleda,Daniel Rubió-Félix,Blanca Xicoy,Carmen Martínez,Marivi Mateos,Jorge Sierra +17 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that allo-RIC is feasible in heavily pretreated HL patients and has an acceptable early transplant-related mortality and both responses observed after the development of GVHD and DLI may suggest a graft-versus-HL effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced-intensity conditioning for allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma: impact of alemtuzumab and donor lymphocyte infusions on long-term outcomes
Karl S. Peggs,Anna Sureda,Wendi Qian,Dolores Caballero,Ann Hunter,Alvaro Urbano-Ispizua,James Cavet,Josep M. Ribera,Anne Parker,Miguel Canales,Premini Mahendra,Javier García-Conde,Donald Milligan,Guillermo Sanz,Kirsty Thomson,Reyes Arranz,Anthony H. Goldstone,Ivan Alvarez,David C. Linch,Jorge Sierra,Stephen Mackinnon +20 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that alemtuzumab significantly reduced GvHD without resulting in a deleterious impact on survival outcomes following RIC in HL, and that durable responses to DLI may be more common following the inclusion of alemmethotrexate in the conditioning protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing different stimulus configurations for population receptive field mapping in human fMRI
Ivan Alvarez,Benjamin de Haas,Benjamin de Haas,Chris A. Clark,Geraint Rees,Geraint Rees,D. Samuel Schwarzkopf,D. Samuel Schwarzkopf +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that the presence or absence of eccentricity scaling had a significant effect on goodness of fit and pRF size estimates, and both eccentricity scaled and polar rather than Cartesian stimulus configuration are important considerations for optimal experimental design in pRF mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception and processing of faces in the human brain is tuned to typical feature locations
Benjamin de Haas,D. Samuel Schwarzkopf,Ivan Alvarez,Rebecca P. Lawson,Linda Henriksson,Nikolaus Kriegeskorte,Geraint Rees +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the visual system represents face features better when they are shown at retinal positions where they typically fall during natural vision, which suggests that brain representations of face features do not cover the visual field uniformly.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Role of Suppression in Spatial Attention: Evidence from Negative BOLD in Human Subcortical and Cortical Structures
Andre Gouws,Ivan Alvarez,David M. Watson,Maiko Uesaki,Jessica Rogers,Antony B. Morland,Antony B. Morland +6 more
TL;DR: This paper found evidence for a spatially selective suppressive mechanism that acts at a subcortical level, which is consistent with the results of this paper. But, the extent to which enhancement and suppression is observed, their stimulus dependence, and the stages of the visual system at which they are expressed remains poorly understood.
