Liver disease and dyslipidemia as a manifestation of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D). Clinical and diagnostic aspects, and a new treatment. An update.
(Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría., 2017-06-01)
Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is still a little recognized genetic disease with significant morbidity and mortality in children and adults. This document provides guidance on when to suspect LAL-D and how to ...
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index Predicts Morbidity and Mortality in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)
The hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score is a useful tool to assess the risk for nonrelapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although the ...
Developing multicenter consortia in liver disease in Latin America: Challenges and opportunities.
(Wiley, 2017-06-07)
The development of consortia has been useful for exploring challenging scenarios and uncharted territories in liver disease treatments. Several consortia already developed in the United States and Europe have become key ...
Schwann cell precursors in health and disease.
(Wiley, 2017-11-10)
Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are frequently regarded as neural crest-derived cells (NCDCs) found in contact with axons during nerve formation. Nevertheless, cells with SCPs properties can be found up to the adulthood. ...
Uncovering the in vivo source of adult neural crest stem cells
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2017-03-01)
Some late embryonic and adult postmigratory neural crest-derived cells (NCDCs) from diverse tissues were shown to grow as multipotent neurospheres. Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) contained in these spheres were found to ...
Association Between Cigarette Smoking Prevalence and Income Level: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
(Oxford University Press, 2017-09)
INTRODUCTION:
Previous evidence linked low socioeconomic status with higher smoking prevalence. Our objective was to assess the strength of this association in the world population, updating a previous work.

Predictive models for recurrence risk of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation: Still an unmet need.
(Wiley, 2017-05-01)
Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplanta-tion (LT) is a frightening issue. It is considered a systemic advanced stage with poor survival rate from the time of its diagnosis, with few therapeutic ...
The Latin American experience of allografting patients with severe aplastic anaemia: real-world data on the impact of stem cell source and ATG administration in HLA-identical sibling transplants
(Springer Nature [academic journals on nature.com], 2017-01-01)
We studied 298 patients with severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) allografted in four Latin American countries. The source of cells was bone marrow (BM) in 94 patients and PBSCs in 204 patients. Engraftment failed in 8.1% of ...
Latin America: the next region for haematopoietic transplant progress.
(Springer Nature [academic journals on nature.com], 2017-05-01)
Haematopoietic cell transplant activity in the 28 countries comprising Latin America is poorly defined. We conducted a voluntary survey of members of the Latin American Bone Marrow Transplantation Group regarding transplant ...
Vulvar Langerhans cell histiocytosis and thalidomide: an effective treatment option
(Wiley, 2017-10-25)
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease characterized
by clonal proliferation and a pathological infiltration of Langerhans cells in one or more organs, in which almost every tissue
may be involved. Its incidence ...
