Successful transplantation of HLA-matched and HLA-mismatched umbilical cord blood from unrelated donors: analysis of engraftment and acute graft-versus-host disease

TLDR
Cryopreserved umbilical cord blood from HLA-matched and mismatched unrelated donors is a sufficient source of transplantable hematopoietic stem cells with high probability of donor derived engraftment and low risk of refractory severe acute graft-versus-host disease.

Outcomes among 562 Recipients of Placental-Blood Transplants from Unrelated Donors

TL;DR: Placental blood is a useful source of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells for bone marrow reconstitution and is associated with the severity of GVHD, type of leukemia, and stage of the disease.

Outcome of cord-blood transplantation from related and unrelated donors

TL;DR: A registry containing information on the outcome of cord-blood transplantation from 1988 to 1996 was established, and younger age, lower weight, transplants from HLA-identical donors, and cytomegalovirus-negative serologic results in the recipient were favorable prognostic factors.

Transplantation of unrelated donor umbilical cord blood in 102 patients with malignant and nonmalignant diseases: influence of CD34 cell dose and HLA disparity on treatment-related mortality and survival.

TL;DR: There is a high probability of survival in recipients of UCB grafts that are disparate in no more than 2 human leukocyte antigens when the grafts contain at least 1.7 x 10(5) CD34(+) cells per kilogram of recipient's body weight, and graft selection should be based principally on CD34 cell dose when multiple UCB units exist with an HLA disparity of 2 or less.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Clinical manifestations of graft-versus-host disease in human recipients of marrow from HL-A-matched sibling donors.

TL;DR: The results show that despite histocompatibility matching and methotrexate therapy, GVHD remains a serious and often fatal complication of marrow transplantation.

Primary cytomegalovirus infection in pregnancy. Incidence, transmission to fetus, and clinical outcome.

TL;DR: Primary CMV infection during pregnancy poses a 30% to 40% risk of intrauterine transmission and adverse outcome is more likely when infection occurs within the first half of gestation.
