Canine Stem Cell Therapy Market 2020-2026: Analysed By Business Growth, Development Factors, Applications, And Future Prospects - 3rd Watch News

Cardiac Stem Cells Comments Off on Canine Stem Cell Therapy Market 2020-2026: Analysed By Business Growth, Development Factors, Applications, And Future Prospects – 3rd Watch News | June 29th, 2020

KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved KEYTRUDA, Mercks anti-PD-1 therapy, as monotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal cancer. The approval is based on results from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-177 trial, in which KEYTRUDA significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 40% (HR=0.60 [95% CI, 0.45-0.80; p=0.0004]) compared with chemotherapy, the current standard of care. In the study, treatment with KEYTRUDA also more than doubled median progression-free survival (PFS) compared with chemotherapy (16.5 months [95% CI, 5.4-32.4] versus 8.2 months [95% CI, 6.1-10.2]).

Todays approval has the potential to change the treatment paradigm for the first-line treatment of patients with MSI-H colorectal cancer, based on the important findings from KEYNOTE-177 that showed KEYTRUDA monotherapy demonstrated superior progression-free survival compared to standard of care chemotherapy, said Dr. Roy Baynes, senior vice president and head of global clinical development, chief medical officer, Merck Research Laboratories. Our commitment to pursuing biomarker research continues to help us bring new treatments to patients, particularly for those who have few available options.

Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur with KEYTRUDA, including pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, nephritis and renal dysfunction, severe skin reactions, solid organ transplant rejection, and complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, KEYTRUDA should be withheld or discontinued and corticosteroids administered if appropriate. KEYTRUDA can also cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions. Based on its mechanism of action, KEYTRUDA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. For more information, see Selected Important Safety Information below.

This approval was granted less than one month following the submission of a new supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA), which was reviewed under the FDAs Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) pilot program. This review also was conducted under Project Orbis, an initiative of the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence that provides a framework for concurrent submission and review of oncology drugs among its international partners. For this application, a modified Project Orbis was undertaken, and the FDA is collaborating with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, Health Canada and Swissmedic on their ongoing review of the application.

Patients with unresectable or metastatic MSI-H colorectal cancer have historically faced poor outcomes, and until today, chemotherapy-containing regimens were the only FDA-approved first-line treatment options, said Luis A. Diaz, M.D., head of the division of Solid Tumor Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In patients who were treated with KEYTRUDA and responded (n=67) in the KEYNOTE-177 trial, 43% of patients experienced a duration of response lasting two years or longer. This approval helps address the unmet need to provide a new monotherapy treatment option for patients.

Data Supporting the Approval

The approval was based on data from KEYNOTE-177 (NCT02563002), a multi-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial that enrolled 307 patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic MSI-H or dMMR colorectal cancer. Microsatellite instability (MSI) or mismatch repair (MMR) tumor status was determined locally using polymerase chain reaction or immunohistochemistry, respectively. Patients with autoimmune disease or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were ineligible.

Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive KEYTRUDA 200 mg intravenously every three weeks or investigators choice of the following chemotherapy regimens given intravenously every two weeks:

Treatment with KEYTRUDA or chemotherapy continued until Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1-defined progression of disease as determined by the investigator or unacceptable toxicity. Patients treated with KEYTRUDA without disease progression could be treated for up to 24 months. Assessment of tumor status was performed every nine weeks. Patients randomized to chemotherapy were offered KEYTRUDA at the time of disease progression. The main efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of five target lesions per organ, and overall survival (OS). Additional efficacy outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR).

Patients were enrolled and randomized to KEYTRUDA (n=153) or chemotherapy (n=154). The baseline characteristics of these 307 patients were: median age of 63 years (range, 24 to 93), 47% age 65 or older; 50% male; 75% White and 16% Asian; 52% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0, and 48% had an ECOG PS of 1; and 27% received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Among the 154 patients randomized to receive chemotherapy, 143 received chemotherapy per the protocol. Of these 143 patients, 56% received mFOLFOX6, 44% received FOLFIRI, 70% received bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI, and 11% received cetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI. The median follow-up time was 27.6 months (range, 0.2 to 48.3 months).

In this study, KEYTRUDA monotherapy significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 40% (HR=0.60 [95% CI, 0.45-0.80; p=0.0004]) and showed a median PFS of 16.5 months (95% CI, 5.4-32.4) compared with 8.2 months (95% CI, 6.1-10.2) for patients treated with chemotherapy. For PFS, in the KEYTRUDA arm, there were 82 patients (54%) with an event versus 113 patients (73%) in the chemotherapy arm. At the time of the PFS analysis, the OS data were not mature (66% of the required number of events for the OS final analysis). For patients treated with KEYTRUDA, the ORR was 44% (95% CI, 35.8-52.0), with a complete response rate of 11% and a partial response rate of 33%, and for patients treated with chemotherapy, the ORR was 33% (95% CI, 25.8-41.1), with a complete response rate of 4% and a partial response rate of 29%. Median DOR was not reached (range, 2.3+ to 41.4+) with KEYTRUDA versus 10.6 months (range, 2.8 to 37.5+) with chemotherapy. Based on 67 patients with a response in the KEYTRUDA arm and 51 patients with a response in the chemotherapy arm, 75% in the KEYTRUDA arm had a duration of response greater than or equal to 12 months versus 37% in the chemotherapy arm, and 43% in the KEYTRUDA arm had a duration of response greater than or equal to 24 months versus 18% in the chemotherapy arm.

Among the 153 patients with MSI-H or dMMR colorectal cancer treated with KEYTRUDA, the median duration of exposure to KEYTRUDA was 11.1 months (range, 1 day to 30.6 months). Adverse reactions occurring in patients with MSI-H or dMMR colorectal cancer were similar to those occurring in 2,799 patients with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer treated with KEYTRUDA as a single agent.

About KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) Injection, 100 mg

KEYTRUDA is an anti-PD-1 therapy that works by increasing the ability of the bodys immune system to help detect and fight tumor cells. KEYTRUDA is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby activating T lymphocytes which may affect both tumor cells and healthy cells.

Merck has the industrys largest immuno-oncology clinical research program. There are currently more than 1,200 trials studying KEYTRUDA across a wide variety of cancers and treatment settings. The KEYTRUDA clinical program seeks to understand the role of KEYTRUDA across cancers and the factors that may predict a patient's likelihood of benefitting from treatment with KEYTRUDA, including exploring several different biomarkers.

Immune-Mediated Hepatitis (KEYTRUDA) and Hepatotoxicity (KEYTRUDA in Combination With Axitinib)

Immune-Mediated Hepatitis

KEYTRUDA can cause immune-mediated hepatitis. Hepatitis occurred in 0.7% (19/2799) of patients receiving KEYTRUDA, including Grade 2 (0.1%), 3 (0.4%), and 4 (<0.1%). Monitor patients for changes in liver function. Administer corticosteroids for Grade 2 or greater hepatitis and, based on severity of liver enzyme elevations, withhold or discontinue KEYTRUDA.

Hepatotoxicity in Combination With Axitinib

KEYTRUDA in combination with axitinib can cause hepatic toxicity with higher than expected frequencies of Grades 3 and 4 ALT and AST elevations compared to KEYTRUDA alone. With the combination of KEYTRUDA and axitinib, Grades 3 and 4 increased ALT (20%) and increased AST (13%) were seen. Monitor liver enzymes before initiation of and periodically throughout treatment. Consider more frequent monitoring of liver enzymes as compared to when the drugs are administered as single agents. For elevated liver enzymes, interrupt KEYTRUDA and axitinib, and consider administering corticosteroids as needed.

Immune-Mediated Endocrinopathies

KEYTRUDA can cause adrenal insufficiency (primary and secondary), hypophysitis, thyroid disorders, and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Adrenal insufficiency occurred in 0.8% (22/2799) of patients, including Grade 2 (0.3%), 3 (0.3%), and 4 (<0.1%). Hypophysitis occurred in 0.6% (17/2799) of patients, including Grade 2 (0.2%), 3 (0.3%), and 4 (<0.1%). Hypothyroidism occurred in 8.5% (237/2799) of patients, including Grade 2 (6.2%) and 3 (0.1%). The incidence of new or worsening hypothyroidism was higher in 1185 patients with HNSCC (16%) receiving KEYTRUDA, as a single agent or in combination with platinum and FU, including Grade 3 (0.3%) hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism occurred in 3.4% (96/2799) of patients, including Grade 2 (0.8%) and 3 (0.1%), and thyroiditis occurred in 0.6% (16/2799) of patients, including Grade 2 (0.3%).

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, hypophysitis (including hypopituitarism), thyroid function (prior to and periodically during treatment), and hyperglycemia. For adrenal insufficiency or hypophysitis, administer corticosteroids and hormone replacement as clinically indicated. Withhold KEYTRUDA for Grade 2 adrenal insufficiency or hypophysitis and withhold or discontinue KEYTRUDA for Grade 3 or Grade 4 adrenal insufficiency or hypophysitis. Administer hormone replacement for hypothyroidism and manage hyperthyroidism with thionamides and beta-blockers as appropriate. Withhold or discontinue KEYTRUDA for Grade 3 or 4 hyperthyroidism. Administer insulin for type 1 diabetes, and withhold KEYTRUDA and administer antihyperglycemics in patients with severe hyperglycemia.

Immune-Mediated Nephritis and Renal Dysfunction

KEYTRUDA can cause immune-mediated nephritis. Nephritis occurred in 0.3% (9/2799) of patients receiving KEYTRUDA, including Grade 2 (0.1%), 3 (0.1%), and 4 (<0.1%) nephritis. Nephritis occurred in 1.7% (7/405) of patients receiving KEYTRUDA in combination with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy. Monitor patients for changes in renal function. Administer corticosteroids for Grade 2 or greater nephritis. Withhold KEYTRUDA for Grade 2; permanently discontinue for Grade 3 or 4 nephritis.

Immune-Mediated Skin Reactions

Immune-mediated rashes, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) (some cases with fatal outcome), exfoliative dermatitis, and bullous pemphigoid, can occur. Monitor patients for suspected severe skin reactions and based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold or permanently discontinue KEYTRUDA and administer corticosteroids. For signs or symptoms of SJS or TEN, withhold KEYTRUDA and refer the patient for specialized care for assessment and treatment. If SJS or TEN is confirmed, permanently discontinue KEYTRUDA.

Other Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions

Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue in patients receiving KEYTRUDA and may also occur after discontinuation of treatment. For suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, ensure adequate evaluation to confirm etiology or exclude other causes. Based on the severity of the adverse reaction, withhold KEYTRUDA and administer corticosteroids. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Based on limited data from clinical studies in patients whose immune-related adverse reactions could not be controlled with corticosteroid use, administration of other systemic immunosuppressants can be considered. Resume KEYTRUDA when the adverse reaction remains at Grade 1 or less following corticosteroid taper. Permanently discontinue KEYTRUDA for any Grade 3 immune-mediated adverse reaction that recurs and for any life-threatening immune-mediated adverse reaction.

The following clinically significant immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred in less than 1% (unless otherwise indicated) of 2799 patients: arthritis (1.5%), uveitis, myositis, Guillain-Barr syndrome, myasthenia gravis, vasculitis, pancreatitis, hemolytic anemia, sarcoidosis, and encephalitis. In addition, myelitis and myocarditis were reported in other clinical trials, including classical Hodgkin lymphoma, and postmarketing use.

Treatment with KEYTRUDA may increase the risk of rejection in solid organ transplant recipients. Consider the benefit of treatment vs the risk of possible organ rejection in these patients.

Infusion-Related Reactions

KEYTRUDA can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions, including hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis, which have been reported in 0.2% (6/2799) of patients. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. For Grade 3 or 4 reactions, stop infusion and permanently discontinue KEYTRUDA.

Complications of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)

Immune-mediated complications, including fatal events, occurred in patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT after treatment with KEYTRUDA. Of 23 patients with cHL who proceeded to allogeneic HSCT after KEYTRUDA, 6 (26%) developed graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (1 fatal case) and 2 (9%) developed severe hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced-intensity conditioning (1 fatal case). Cases of fatal hyperacute GVHD after allogeneic HSCT have also been reported in patients with lymphoma who received a PD-1 receptorblocking antibody before transplantation. Follow patients closely for early evidence of transplant-related complications such as hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), Grade 3 to 4 acute GVHD, steroid-requiring febrile syndrome, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), and other immune-mediated adverse reactions.

In patients with a history of allogeneic HSCT, acute GVHD (including fatal GVHD) has been reported after treatment with KEYTRUDA. Patients who experienced GVHD after their transplant procedure may be at increased risk for GVHD after KEYTRUDA. Consider the benefit of KEYTRUDA vs the risk of GVHD in these patients.

Increased Mortality in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

In trials in patients with multiple myeloma, the addition of KEYTRUDA to a thalidomide analogue plus dexamethasone resulted in increased mortality. Treatment of these patients with a PD-1 or PD-L1 blocking antibody in this combination is not recommended outside of controlled trials.

Embryofetal Toxicity

Based on its mechanism of action, KEYTRUDA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise women of this potential risk. In females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiating KEYTRUDA and advise them to use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose.

In KEYNOTE-010, KEYTRUDA monotherapy was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 8% of 682 patients with metastatic NSCLC; the most common was pneumonitis (1.8%). The most common adverse reactions (20%) were decreased appetite (25%), fatigue (25%), dyspnea (23%), and nausea (20%).

Adverse reactions occurring in patients with SCLC were similar to those occurring in patients with other solid tumors who received KEYTRUDA as a single agent.

In KEYNOTE-048, KEYTRUDA monotherapy was discontinued due to adverse events in 12% of 300 patients with HNSCC; the most common adverse reactions leading to permanent discontinuation were sepsis (1.7%) and pneumonia (1.3%). The most common adverse reactions (20%) were fatigue (33%), constipation (20%), and rash (20%).

Exosome Therapeutic Market Size, 2020-New Technological Change Helping Market, Application, Driver, - PharmiWeb.com

Cardiac Stem Cells Comments Off on Exosome Therapeutic Market Size, 2020-New Technological Change Helping Market, Application, Driver, – PharmiWeb.com | June 29th, 2020

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a curative therapy for many patients suffering from life threatening blood disorders. This treatment is currently limited by the availability of compatible bone marrow donors and, as a result, transplant of unrelated donor umbilical cord blood is an attractive alternative.This approach has the advantages of rapid availability and reduced stringency for a complete donor/recipient match, but is limited by a relatively low number of stem cells within a single cord blood unit. One focus of the Stem Cell Regulators research group, led by Prof. Jonas Larsson, is the development of new strategies to expand stem cells ex vivo, allowing for the treatment of patients who otherwise would lack a suitable donor.

When grown outside the body hematopoietic stem cells proliferate and differentiate from an immature state to more mature blood cell types. explains Prof. Larsson. We aim to identify novel ways to counteract this maturation, pushing stem cells to self-renew and increase in numbers.

In a study published in the journal Blood, the Larsson group targeted the enzyme LSD1, part of the CoREST complex, known to mediate the epigenetic modification of DNA and pushing the differentiation of stem cells into mature blood cells.

We hypothesised that by reducing LSD1 levels using small molecule drugs we could halt stem cell differentiation and stimulate expansion. explains postdoctoral researcher Agatheeswaran Subramaniam and first author on the paper.

This turned out to be the case for both cord blood derived and adult bone marrow stem cells, with LSD1 inhibition expanding stem and progenitor cells from different sources and different stages of development.

To gain insights into how targeting LSD1 led to the expansion of stem cells, the group performed gene expression profiling. They compared LSD1 inhibition to treatment with UM171, a human hematopoietic stem cell promoting molecule identified in 2014 and currently in phase II clinical trials, despite an as yet unidentified mechanism of action. The gene signatures of LSD1 inhibition and UM171 treatment were strikingly similar.

The research group then postulated that these treatments could be working by the same mechanism.

Through a collaboration with Prof. Roman Zubarev at Karolinska Institute, the key targets of UM171 were established using a technique known as Thermal Proteome Profiling. This approach, which identifies interactions between small molecules and proteins, confirmed the direct binding of UM171 to LSD1, as well as to the core structural component of the CoREST complex, RCOR1.

Extensive analyses by Kristijonas emaitis, a PhD student in the Larsson lab, revealed that UM171 directs the components of the CoREST complex to degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, the system used by the cell to break down proteins.

In this study have we identified a novel target for human hematopoietic stem cell expansion ex vivo, as well as taking steps to understanding the previously undetermined mechanism of action of UM171. reflects Agatheeswaran. The most striking finding was the extremely rapid and efficient degradation of members of the CoREST complex by UM171.

What remains unclear is exactly how the CoREST complex is targeted and its degradation triggered. An understanding of this has the potential to reveal principles that can be exploited for purposes not only limited to stem cell expansion.

New Insights Into the Ex Vivo Expansion of Transplantable Human Blood Stem Cells - Technology Networks

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on New Insights Into the Ex Vivo Expansion of Transplantable Human Blood Stem Cells – Technology Networks | June 29th, 2020

DUBAI: Plasma and stem cell (SC) therapies are two of the emerging star treatments being used in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Against COVID-19, they're considered stop-gap measures, while the world awaits a vaccine. Both, however, have proven effective against severe cases infections caused by the novel coronavirus, which has already killed over 502,000 and infected 10.1 million as of Monday (June 29, 2020).

Plasma and SC therapies have similarities, as well as obvious differences. We outline them below:

Q: What are their similarities?

Both plasma and stem cell therapies rely on rejuvenating damaged body tissue. Theyboth form part of what's described as regenerative medicine, a fast-emerging branch of medical science involving techniques thathelp restore the functionof tissues or organs.

Being regenerative treatments (or therapies), they encourage your body to use its natural abilities to heal injuries or other types of tissue damage or inflammation.

The journal Platelets refer to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell (SC) therapies as the "mainstream medical technologies" to repair and rejuvenate a damaged tissue or organ caused by injury or chronic diseases.

Q: What are the key differences?

Plasma-rich platelets are components of blood that contain platelet concentrations above the normal level.

Platelets are the frontline workers in carrying out a healing response to injuries. They release growth factors for tissue repair.Plasma therapy uses the liquid portion of blood (plasma, yellowish) which includes a higher concentration of platelets the part of blood that contributes to clotting and healing.

Stem cells, on the other hand, are generic cells. They are the prime cells -- unspecialised, undifferentiated, immature cells. Based on specific stimuli, they can divide and differentiate into specific type of cells and tissues.

Q: What are stem cells?

Stem cells are the basic, generic building blocks of life. In a sense, they unspecialised, undifferentiated, immature cells. They can divide and differentiate into specific type of cells and tissues, based on based on specific stimuli.

Its this ability to differentiate into other types of cell that make stem cells interesting to medical science.

In adults, they are usually obtained from bone marrow. In infants, stem cells are usually taken from the umbilical cord.

Scientists have found stem cells present in blood vessels, the brain, skeletal muscles, skin and the liver.

They can be difficult to find and work with. Stem cells are also categorised by their potential to differentiate into different cell types. These include, pluripotent and multipotent stem cells.

Q: What are the advantages of stem cell-based therapies?

SCs are generic (or primitive) cells obtained either from embryos or from the adult tissues, that have the capacity of self-renewal and can differentiate into as many as 200 different cell types of the adult body.

SC also produces certain growth factors and cytokines that accelerate the healing process at the site of tissue damage. Cytokines are secreted by certain cells of the immune system and have an effect on other cells. SC is used to treat degenerative and inflammatory conditions by replacing the damaged cells in virtually any tissue or organ, where PRP applications serve no benefit.

Q: How is stem cell therapy helping fight COVID?

In the UAE, a medical research team has developed a first-in-the-world technique using inhaled stem cells that harvestedfrom the patients themselves. Following the initial success of the technique in 73 patients, the procedure has been ramped up.

In May, the ADSCC team, led by Dr Yendry Ventura, unveiled the new treatment. The UAECell19 is an autologous (cells obtained from the same individual)stem cells therapy which helped cut hospital stay from 22 days to six, relative to patients who were given standard treatment.

Q: What's the record of UAECell19 stem cell therapy?

According to the Abu Dhabi team, patients given the stem cell therapy were up to 3.1x more likely to recover in less than seven days compared to those given standard treatment.

Researchers also stated that 67% of the patients who received the stem cells treatment owed this recovery to the new treatment.

ADSCC has secured a patent for UAECell19. Protection of the intellectual property rights for the therapy opens doors for it tobe shared more widely so more patients can benefit.

Q: What is convalescent plasma?

Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water and proteins, and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body.

Convalescent refers to a person recovering from an illness or medical treatment.

Convalescent plasma, also known as immunoglobulins, is plasma taken from the blood of a person who has recovered from a disease.

Research shows that recovered COVID-19 patients develop antibodies in the blood against the virus. Antibodies are proteins that might help fight the infection.

Q: What are platelets?

Platelets, a component of the blood, are repair agents. They are frontliners in the healing response to injuries. Platelets are also called thrombocytes, blood cells that trigger blood clotting and other necessary growth healing functions.

PLATELET FACTS

[] When the platelet count is less than 50,000, bleeding is likely to be more serious if you're cut or bruised.

[] Some people make too many platelets. They can have platelet counts from 500,000 to more than 1 million.

Q: What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

PRP is a component of blood that contains platelet concentrations above the normal level -- usually five times higher concentrations of platelets above the normal values. It includes platelet-related growth factors and plasma-derived fibrinogen (a blood plasma protein that's made in the liver), among others.

Q: Has it been used to treat other diseases?

Yes. Convalescent plasma hasbeen used as a last resort to improve the survival rates of patients with SARS (2003), as well as the "Spanish Flu" (1918-1920), as well as other infectious diseases.The Lancetcitesseveral studies that showed a shorter hospital stay and lower mortality in patients treated with convalescent plasma than those who were not treated with it.

It's been gaining ground in the COVID-19 fight around the world. In the last few weeks, convalescent plasma therapy has helped treat at least 170 patients at the Infectious Disease Department at Rashid Hospital in Dubai.

THROMBOCYTOPENIA

[] This can be caused by many conditions by medicines, cancer, liver disease, pregnancy, infections (including COVID-19), and an abnormal immune system.

Q: Why is convalescent plasma important?

If you are one of the thousands of patients fully-recovered from COVID-19, you may be able to help patients currently fighting the infection by donating your plasma. That's because you fought the infection, your plasma now contains COVID-19 antibodies.

These antibodies provided one way for your immune system to fight the virus when you were sick, so your plasma may be able to be used to help others fight off the disease.

Q: I have fully recovered from COVID-19. Am I eligible donate plasma?

Yes, you are. Health authorities, including the US Food and Drug Administration, encourage people who have fully recovered from COVID-19 for at least two weeks to consider donating plasma.

You can help save the lives of other patients.

However, you must first undergo some tests to check if you're eligible to meet donor criteria. Doctors will determine that. COVID-19 convalescent plasma must only be collected from recovered individuals if you are eligible.

A lab test must document a prior diagnosis of COVID-19. In general, FDA protocol requires individuals to have complete resolution of symptoms for at least 14 days prior to donation.

Q: Is a negative lab test for COVID-19 a must before being considered to donate blood plasma?

No. The FDA guideline states: A negative lab test for active COVID-19 disease is not necessary to qualify for donation.

Q: I havent had COVID-19. What can I do to help?

You shouldconsider donating blood. One blood donation can save up to three lives.

COVID-19: Plasma therapy vs stem cell therapy, what's the difference? - Gulf News

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on COVID-19: Plasma therapy vs stem cell therapy, what’s the difference? – Gulf News | June 29th, 2020

A Nottinghamshire girl needs to find a bone marrow donor within weeks as she battles leukaemia for the second time.

Amy Bartlett, 14, of West Bridgford, was described as a playful, happy and energetic girl before her blood cancer diagnosis.

Having spent part of her childhood in New Zealand, she was a water baby representing her school in water polo and loved to be in the pool and sea, taking part in the little nippers surf life-saving programme.

More recently, she enjoyed being a member of West Bridgfords Colts football team.

In 2018, when she was 12, Amy began to complain of feelings of aches in her wrists and ribs and developed a small rash across her tummy and back.

Tests at Nottingham Childrens Hospital later confirmed she had leukaemia - devastating and heartbreaking news for Amy and her family.

Amy showed strength from the get-go, reassuring her parents that she could fight the blood cancer.

"Mummy, it is ok its better I get it, than another smaller child. I am stronger and so have a better chance to beat it," were her first words after the news was broken to her.

Her leukaemia was categorised as high risk, meaning despite her young age, she had to receive the most intensive rounds of chemotherapy administered to children diagnosed with the disease, causing her hair to fall out within just a few days of treatment starting.

Having not had the smoothest ride through her treatment, suffering liver problems, developing steroid induced diabetes and several allergies to medications she was given, Amy soon needed a wheelchair to get in and out of hospital.

Turning the 12-year-olds life upside down, Amy could not go back to school, but tried desperately hard to keep up with her school work.

Counting down the days until the planned end of her therapy on July 4, the entire family were holding onto the light at the end of the tunnel, when the devastating news of a relapse shattered their dreams.

Her mum Marie said: How do you tell your daughter, whose tiny body has been through so much already, that the cancer she has fought so hard to overcome has returned?

"It ripped my heart out to tell her and hold her whilst trying to convince her that she had done it once and she could do it again.

The relapse has meant that Amy has restarted her intensive chemotherapy. The plan is to then proceed to a bone marrow/stem cell transplant, if a suitable donor match can be found.

Amys family say: We need to find a match for Amy ideally within the next two to three weeks, so time is of the essence.

Her brother, Marcus, has been tested but unfortunately he is not a match.

Amys story comes at a time when new donors are needed urgently amidst falling numbers of people signing up to registers, as planned large scale donor recruitment and awareness sessions cannot be run due to Covid-19, but individuals can still request to join the register independently.

Dr Jesky, Amys Consultant at Nottingham University Hospitals, said: For children or adults, like Amy, whose leukaemia has sadly returned, undergoing a stem cell transplant offers the highest chance of a cure.

"Often these donors are volunteers as many patients do not have a suitable family match. Young men are particularly encouraged to register as they are the most frequent chosen donors.

"For the donor the process of donating is simple but for the patient this donation could give them a second chance at life.

NUH is encouraging people to consider signing up to one of the bone marrow registers to increase the chances of finding a potential match for Amy and others who are in similar circumstances. By doing so, you could be the match that saves a life.

There are four main donor registries.

Teenager needs a donor within weeks as she battles leukaemia for second time - Nottinghamshire Live

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Teenager needs a donor within weeks as she battles leukaemia for second time – Nottinghamshire Live | June 29th, 2020

Boca Raton, FL, June 29 Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) diverse genetic markers on our cells that help match patients and donors for bone marrow transplant are the focus of a new study led by the Gift of Life Marrow Registry.

The study, in collaboration with researchers at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the genetic crowd science portal Root, aims to help answer a key question: why do some people get COVID19 or particular symptoms, while others avoid them? More than 350,000 donors in Gift of Life's registry have been invited to participate, helping researchers answer this important question.

"Every volunteer donor is already HLA-typed, presenting a tremendous opportunity to drive broader science through the prism of these immune-related genes," said Gift of Life's Founder and CEO Jay Feinberg. "We're excited to help the world understand how our immune systems may shape the pandemic."

"We hope to learn whether immune-vital tissue match genes such as HLA help explain why some of us avoid COVID-19, while others get severe symptoms or need particular treatments," said the study's principal investigator Jeffrey Rosenfeld, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. "Adding such key data to the fight against COVID-19, we can help solve the mystery of why it affects different people so differently."

Root's founder, geneticist Nathaniel Pearson, PhD, noted that "because transplant registries read HLA genes better than consumer DNA tests do, a study like this can best reveal how these diverse, immune-vital genes may shape COVID-19. Gift of Life members, who have long saved lives via transplants, now show us how everyday people can help the world beat a pandemic too."

Participants can also opt into short monthly surveys for the coming year, even if they have never had COVID-19. The researchers will study their de-identified data, to better understand how tissue match genes and other factors may figure in COVID-19 risks and outcomes.

The new study furthers Gift of Life's efforts to help people and communities in need during the pandemic. The organization has increased capacity at the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Gift of LifeBe The Match Collection Center to become a non-hospital based go-to for stem cell donations and contributed 10,000 specialized swabs to Baptist Health South Florida via Boca Raton Regional Hospital to be used for COVID-19 testing.

Michael Schumacher is still surviving as he continues to battle complications from the near-fatal head injury he sustained while skiing in 2013. It was reported that the F1 legend is set to undergo another round of stem cell procedure that will help regenerate his nervous system.

Facts about the reported new operation on Schumi

With this surgery, his family and doctors are hoping that he will be able to recover functions in parts of his body. This is because it is aimed at his sensory system that was affected by his injuries.

The Daily Mail reported that currently, Michael Schumacher is being treated and cared for by French cardiologist Dr. Philippe Menasche, a medical expert specializing in stem cell research. It was revealed that a series of surgeries are needed for this treatment, so this is just one of the racing champs operations for his recovery.

In an article that appeared in an Italian publication Le Dauphine, it was reported that Dr. Menasche will do seminal heart surgery on Schumi in his next surgery schedule. It was added that this will take place soon, but the exact date was not revealed.

It is also believed that this will be the second time that the said doctor is operating on Michael Schumacher. The first procedure was said to have been done in September 2019, and Schumi was in the hospital for about three days. At any rate, in this operation, his damaged cells will be replaced with healthy ones that will be taken from his bone marrow.

An experimental stem-cell surgery?

Michael Schumacher has not recovered from his accident that happened more than six years ago. He is currently being treated in his own home in Switzerland, but his exact condition is still a mystery since his family continues to keep everything related to his health a secret.

Dr. Nicola Acciari, a leading neurosurgeon, previously claimed that Michael Schumacher has osteoporosis and suffering from muscle atrophy since he is unable to move for years. The goal is to regenerate Michaels nervous system, The Sun quoted him as saying in connection to the stem cell therapy.

However, Jean-Michel Dcugis, a French journalist, shared to British daily national newspaper, The Times, that the procedure is experimental at this point since Dr. Menasche is actually a cardiologist.

"Our sources say that Michael Schumacher is receiving stem cell perfusions that produce a systemic anti-inflammatory effect, The Sun quoted Dcugis as saying. "It's quite mysterious as Menasch works only on the heart. He is carrying out experiments with secretome that is made by a laboratory from new stem cells and injected into veins, until now only on animals.

Even though he had Covid-19, Sila Jio Boonklomjit, a five-year-old boy in Thailand, with covid-19 managed to save his sisters life. With the stem cells he donated for her bone marrow transplant.

Doctors only discovered Jio contracted the coronavirus the day before Jintanakan Jean Boonklomjit, his sisters urgent transplant.

Despite the challenges, which included quarantine restrictions placed on Jio on the eve of the transplant procedure. However the treatment was carried out successfully.

And it was done so without Jio passing the coronavirus to Jean.

While the experimental procedure first began in April, the bone marrow was only successfully transplanted on June23 at Ramathibodi Hospital.

Jeans case was believed to be the first successful stem cell transplant from a donor with active Covid-19, according to reports.

She was reported to be in a severe condition as she wasborn with thalassemia a genetic blood disorder that limits the bloods ability to carry oxygen.

There were also difficulties finding a suitable donor for Jean, which left Jio as their best hope, said Suradej Hongeng of the hospitals pediatrics department.

It was a long and uncertain road to this happy outcome, according to the doctor.

Jio and Jean were confirmed to be a genetic match in 2018. The hospital prepared for the transplantation procedure thereafter.

But with any medical procedures, there were certain complications and hurdles involved.

According to Suradej, the siblings young age were part of the difficulties faced during the procedure. Jeans chemotherapy procedure also caused her immune system to be compromised. That delayed the bone marrow transplant until this year.

Still, things turned out well in the end, and the five-year-old boy was applauded for saving his big sisters life.

Its as if my daughter is reborn and gets a new life, said the childrens father, Suchai Boonklomjit.

Jio has since recovered from Covid-19, which was believed to be transmitted from his mother, according to doctors in Thailand.

Thailands health department has reported on Monday that the Kingdom has gone 35 consecutive days without a local Covid-19 Coronavirus case. However health officials have confirmed 7 imported cases with Thai returnees.

The 7 imported covid-19 coronavirus cases brings the total number of infections in Thailand to 3,169 with 58 deaths since January. All the new cases were Thai nationals in quarantine. They recently returning from India and the US to Thailand.

There have been no local transmissions for 35 days Thailands health department said Monday.

Five Year-old Boy with Covid-19 Saves Sisters Life in Thailand - Chiang Rai Times

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Five Year-old Boy with Covid-19 Saves Sisters Life in Thailand – Chiang Rai Times | June 29th, 2020

A six-year-old who won the nations hearts in his battle with leukaemia has been given a heroes welcome after flying home following months of life-saving cancer treatment in Singapore.

Brave Oscar Saxelby-Lee from St Johns, Worcester, was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer in December 2018 after his parents noticed unusual bruising on his legs.

Doctors gave him months to find a stem cell match to save his life which led to parents Olivia Saxelby, 25, and Jamie Lee, 28, launching a UK-wide appeal for donors.

Last March a record-breaking 4,855 volunteers queued in the freezing rain after Oscars primary school in opened as a testing centre.

In total more than 10,000 people were tested across the UK until a match was finally found.

But just months later, the family faced further anguish after discovering Oscars cancer had returned.

After a crowdfunding campaign raised 600,000, Oscar was flown to Singapore for pioneering treatment not available on the NHS.

Oscar became only the second child in the world to undergo CAR-T therapy before having a second bone marrow transplant using stem cells from dad Jamie.

Just three months after the successful operation, Oscar and his parents were given the all clear to return to the UK and hours after touching down he was driven see his classmates, who cheered as he drove past the school gates.

In heartwarming pictures Oscar grins from ear to ear as his proud dad sits next to him and his mum breaks down in tears of joy.

Pupils gave Oscar a huge bunch of colourful balloons which the youngster struggled to fit inside the car.

Jen Kelly, from the Grace Kelly Trust which helped raise 173,000 to fund his life-saving treatment, said: The Grave Kelly Trust is delighted to see Oscar returning home to the UK with his mum and dad.

Out smiles have been growing ever wider as we watched Oscars miraculous journey.

We are so proud to have been able to play a key part in Oscars bid for life-saving treatment in Singapore and it is wonderful to see Oscar doing so well following his ground-breaking treatment.

This news is amazing, not just for Oscar, but potentially for other children in a similar position in the future.

Oscar still has a way to go and will need to be shielded for a good while longer once he gets home, but he remains cancer free and smiling.

Story continues

Throughout his treatment, Oscar has kept in touch with his classmates and teachers from his hospital bed via an innovative robot - nicknamed Ozzybot.

His headteacher Kate Wilcock, who organised the huge donor registration event and Ozzybot lessons, said: There have been plenty of ups and downs to get here but this is the absolute icing on the cake that hes come home, cancer free and its worked.

Our future plans now will be to support Oscar and his family and even start some learning at home.

Then we will be working really closely with Olivia, Jamie and Oscar for some transition into school.

That will be the best day when he walks back through the door at Pitmaston Primary.

Oscar made a surprise visit to his classmates on his return from Singapore. (SWNS)

When he left hospital for the final time in Singapore Ozzy, as he is affectionately nicknamed, was given a guard of honour by medical staff.

A video posted on the Hand in Hand for Oscar Facebook page, shows the youngster beaming as he is driven away and shouts: Bye hospital, thank you!

Six-year-old given heroes welcome by his classmates after months of life-saving cancer treatment in Singapore - Yahoo Lifestyle UK

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Six-year-old given heroes welcome by his classmates after months of life-saving cancer treatment in Singapore – Yahoo Lifestyle UK | June 29th, 2020

VANCOUVER, Washington, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoDyn Inc. (OTC.QB: CYDY), (CytoDyn” or the Company"), a late-stage biotechnology company developing leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications, announced today the Company and the Coordinating Commission of the National Institutes of Health and High Specialty Hospitals of Mexico (NIH) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to conduct a COVID-19 clinical trial with leronlimab for severe and critically ill patients, with the potential to collaborate on additional COVID-19 trials. The NIH of Mexico is an organization that coordinates the main institutions of medical care and public research in the country.

The MOU provides CytoDyn will supply leronlimab at its expense to the NIH and both parties are proceeding forward expeditiously to complete the mutually agreed protocol for this clinical trial.

Nader Pourhassan, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of CytoDyn, commented: We are very pleased with the confidence demonstrated by the NIH of Mexico in our drug, leronlimab, and we are both very motivated to initiate this trial quickly to help mitigate the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic on the citizens of Mexico. The anecdotal data received by CytoDyn (from over 70 COVID-19 critical patients who were treated under EIND in the U.S.) has impressed the NIH of Mexico and we believe with a small Phase 3 trial of only 25 patients, leronlimab could receive approval in Mexico very quickly. This Phase 3 trial is similar to our Phase 3 trial protocol in the U.S., with the exception of the number of patients.”

About Coronavirus Disease 2019 CytoDyn has met its 75-patient enrollment target in its Phase 2 clinical trial for COVID-19, a randomized clinical trial for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 population in the U.S. and enrollment continues in its Phase 2b/3 randomized clinical trial for severe and critically ill COVID-19 population in several hospitals throughout the country.

SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China. The origin of SARS-CoV-2 causing the COVID-19 disease is uncertain, and the virus is highly contagious. COVID-19 typically transmits person to person through respiratory droplets, commonly resulting from coughing, sneezing, and close personal contact. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some causing illness in people and others that circulate among animals. For confirmed COVID-19 infections, symptoms have included fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure. Clinical manifestations in patients have ranged from non-existent to severe and fatal. At this time, there are minimal treatment options for COVID-19.

About Leronlimab (PRO 140) and BLA Submission for the HIV Combination Therapy The FDA has granted a Fast Track” designation to CytoDyn for two potential indications of leronlimab for deadly diseases. The first as a combination therapy with HAART for HIV-infected patients and the second is for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Leronlimab is an investigational humanized IgG4 mAb that blocks CCR5, a cellular receptor that is important in HIV infection, tumor metastases, and other diseases, including NASH. Leronlimab has completed nine clinical trials in over 800 people, including meeting its primary endpoints in a pivotal Phase 3 trial (leronlimab in combination with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients).

In the setting of HIV/AIDS, leronlimab is a viral-entry inhibitor; it masks CCR5, thus protecting healthy T cells from viral infection by blocking the predominant HIV (R5) subtype from entering those cells. Leronlimab has been the subject of nine clinical trials, each of which demonstrated that leronlimab could significantly reduce or control HIV viral load in humans. The leronlimab antibody appears to be a powerful antiviral agent leading to potentially fewer side effects and less frequent dosing requirements compared with daily drug therapies currently in use.

The Company filed its BLA for Leronlimab as a Combination Therapy for Highly Treatment Experienced HIV Patients with the FDA on April 27, 2020, and submitted additional FDA requested clinical datasets on May 11, 2020. After the FDA deems a BLA submission complete, it sets a PDUFA goal date. CytoDyn has Fast Track designation for leronlimab and a rolling review for its BLA, as previously assigned by the FDA. The Company filed a request for Priority Review designation for its BLA to shorten the FDA’s review time from 10 to 6 months, an FDA goal for BLA applications given Priority Review designation.

In the setting of cancer, research has shown that CCR5 may play a role in tumor invasion, metastases, and tumor microenvironment control. Increased CCR5 expression is an indicator of disease status in several cancers. Published studies have shown that blocking CCR5 can reduce tumor metastases in laboratory and animal models of aggressive breast and prostate cancer. Leronlimab reduced human breast cancer metastasis by more than 98% in a murine xenograft model. CytoDyn is, therefore, conducting a Phase 1b/2 human clinical trial in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and was granted Fast Track designation in May 2019.

The CCR5 receptor appears to play a central role in modulating immune cell trafficking to sites of inflammation. It may be crucial in the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and other inflammatory conditions. Clinical studies by others further support the concept that blocking CCR5 using a chemical inhibitor can reduce the clinical impact of acute GvHD without significantly affecting the engraftment of transplanted bone marrow stem cells. CytoDyn is currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical study with leronlimab to support further the concept that the CCR5 receptor on engrafted cells is critical for the development of acute GvHD, blocking the CCR5 receptor from recognizing specific immune signaling molecules is a viable approach to mitigating acute GvHD. The FDA has granted orphan drug” designation to leronlimab for the prevention of GvHD.

About CytoDyn CytoDyn is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 appears to play a critical role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells. The CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in tumor metastasis and immune-mediated illnesses, such as GvHD and NASH. CytoDyn has successfully completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial with leronlimab in combination with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients. CytoDyn filed its BLA in April 2020 to seek FDA approval for leronlimab as a combination therapy for highly treatment experienced HIV patients, and submitted additional FDA requested clinical datasets on May 11, 2020. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 3 investigative trial with leronlimab as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients. CytoDyn plans to initiate a registration-directed study of leronlimab monotherapy indication. If successful, it could support a label extension. Clinical results to date from multiple trials have shown that leronlimab can significantly reduce viral burden in people infected with HIV. No drug-related serious site injection reactions reported in about 800 patients treated with leronlimab and no drug-related SAEs reported in patients treated with 700 mg dose of leronlimab. Moreover, a Phase 2b clinical trial demonstrated that leronlimab monotherapy can prevent viral escape in HIV-infected patients; some patients on leronlimab monotherapy have remained virally suppressed for more than five years. CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 trial to evaluate leronlimab for the prevention of GvHD and a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial with leronlimab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a shock for most people, but for Clay Drake, much of it was familiar: the need to stay in, the stocking up on hand sanitizer, the concern that a simple trip to church could turn deadly.

Drake, of Windsor, has multiple myeloma, a blood cell cancer, and underwent two stem cell transplants that knocked out his immune system for months. A bout with the seasonal flu lasted more than a month, and for a while he was getting colds that took him weeks to shake, he said.

That was my COVID, he said. I spent probably about a year doing what everybody started doing in March.

While many though not all healthy people who get COVID-19 can recover at home, those who have chronic conditions are six times as likely to be hospitalized and 12 times as likely to die, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Drake still gets chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments to keep the cancer in remission. Because of the heightened risk from infections, he tries to minimize trips to crowded places but has started seeing small groups of friends again and occasionally eating out. Most people around Windsor seem to be wearing masks and following other recommendations, which makes it safer, he said.

For the most part, I feel comfortable going out in public, he said.

People who have chronic conditions need to be vigilant about social distancing, wearing a mask and washing their hands, according to the CDC, and should talk to their doctors about additional precautions.

While those who know they face a higher risk of dying can take some steps to protect themselves, the rest of the community also needs to help keep the virus from breaking out, said Dr. Peter Buttrick, a cardiologist and member of the board for the Denver branch of the American Heart Association. Most people who get the virus can spread it before developing symptoms, meaning they could inadvertently give it to someone whos at a higher risk especially if they arent wearing masks, he said.

The likelihood youll be in contact with someone who is infected and asymptomatic is higher when theres ongoing community spread, he said.

Colorados new cases are down from a peak in April, but theyve started to tick back up and Gov. Jared Polis has urged the public to continue avoiding large events and wearing masks.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an updated list Thursday of the clearest risk factors for getting severely sick or dying from COVID-19:

The CDC also listed other conditions as possible risk factors, though the evidence is mixed or from small studies:

A large study in the United Kingdom found that the risk of dying increased sharply with age, but younger people were also at a higher risk if they had certain conditions, said Dr. Jonathan Samet, dean of the Colorado School of Public Health. Diabetes and chronic lung conditions such as emphysema roughly doubled the risk of dying compared to a healthy person of the same age, and heart disease increased the risk by about 25%. Obesity also raised a persons risk of complications, he said.

About 7% of adults in Colorado have diabetes and 23% have obesity, which are some of the lowest rates in the country, according to Americas Health Rankings. Still, that means thousands of people are at an elevated risk, and not all of them may have the ability to stay at home. Ideally, those who are at a high risk would continue social distancing at a high level, Samet said.

Its certainly a time for caution, if peoples jobs and lives allow it, he said.

Not everyone with diabetes is at an equal risk, said Dr. Robert Gabbay, chief scientific and medical officer for the American Diabetes Association. People who have poorly controlled blood sugar and have other chronic conditions generally are at a higher risk from infections, including COVID-19. That makes it important to keep in touch with your doctor and to manage your diabetes well, he said.

If you have diabetes, you have high blood sugars, youre obese and you have maybe cardiovascular disease, youre at high risk and you need to be really careful, he said, adding that age also is a factor to consider.

Its not entirely clear why certain conditions are linked to a higher risk of complications. One possibility is that when hearts are stressed by high blood pressure or coronary artery disease, their cells produce more of certain receptors that the virus binds to though more research is needed to understand if thats the issue, Buttrick said. He urged people not to put off seeking medical advice if they have symptoms that could suggest heart trouble, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations or fainting not only because of the virus risk, but also because the problem itself may need immediate treatment.

Heart disease doesnt go on vacation during the pandemic, he said.

Buttrick and Samet dont advise people with chronic illnesses to stay at home at all times, but say they should consider ways to avoid crowds, like visiting the grocery store during hours set aside for high-risk customers. Ultimately, each patient and doctor need to discuss individual risks, though.

Im telling all of my patients, and I think everybody is, that if youre of a certain age, you need to be really careful, Buttrick said.

People with diabetes and other conditions have to consider their individual level of risk, as well as how risky any particular activity is, Gabbay said. If you have well-controlled blood sugar and no other chronic conditions, you might feel more comfortable going to a lower-risk social event, while someone whose health is more precarious might avoid any exposure that isnt absolutely necessary.

Thats whats made this so difficult there are no hard and fast rules, he said.

Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post

Drake, who volunteers with the American Cancer Society, said he sometimes gets calls from people trying to figure out what they should do, and he steers them toward the ACS guidelines. Some of them are particularly worried about how to move forward with cancer treatment during a pandemic, he said.

I feel like theres a lot of people, particularly the more susceptible and elderly, who are scared, he said.

COVID threat isnt over, especially for Coloradans with chronic conditions - The Denver Post

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on COVID threat isnt over, especially for Coloradans with chronic conditions – The Denver Post | June 29th, 2020

By: Lifestyle Desk | New Delhi | Updated: June 27, 2020 12:09:31 pm Heres everything to know about the blood disorder. (Source: Getty Images/Thinkstock)

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited group of blood disorder which is genetic in nature. It is usually transferred from parents to the child during birth i.e. both the parents can be carries of SCD. Healthy RBCs are round in shape, which moves through small blood vessels and carries oxygen to all parts of the body. In someone who has SCD, the RBC becomes sticky and hard and start to look like C- shaped similar to that of a farm tool sickle. The sickle cells die early, which causes a constant shortage of RBC, which leads to low oxygen carriers in the body, mentioned Dr Rahul Bhargava, director and head, haematology and bone marrow transplant, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram. Also, when sickle cells travels they tend to get stuck in small blood vessels and restrict the blood flow. This can cause pain in the joints, chest and other serious problems such as stroke, acute chest syndrome and infections.

Anaemia

SCD can lead to shortage of RBC which makes the patient anaemic. It can lead to less oxygen supply in the body causing fatigue.

Episodes of pain. SCD patients suffer from episodes of periodic pain. Sickle-shaped blood cells can block the flow of blood which in tiny vessels of abdomen, chest and joints, thus leading to pain.

Feet and hands swelling

Sickle-shaped RBC can block then flow of blood which can cause swelling in the hands and feet.

Frequent infections

Sickle cells can damage the spleen and make the person vulnerable to diseases and infections. Vaccination is usually prescribed in childhood to keep infections at bay.

Delayed growth or puberty

RBC is the carrier of oxygen and other nutrients. With low RBC, there is no enough oxygen in the body which can slow the growth in infants and children which leads to delayed puberty in children.

Vision problems

Vision is affected when the flow of blood is affected.

SCD can lead to a lot of complication, including Stroke, acute chest syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, organ damage, blindness, leg ulcers and more such complications.

SCD can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. Parents are advised to get the screening done before conceiving as it is transmitted from parents. For newborns, the test is done in the hospitals as a routine screening. There is no single treatment for SCD patients and it varies from patient to patient on the basis the symptoms. Before starting any medication, consult a haematologist who specialises in blood disorders.

The only cure for SCD is getting a bone marrow transplant (BMT), which is a procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Stem cells are easily taken from the donor and planted in the recipient. After the BMT procedure, the patient can lead a healthy and normal life.

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Sickle Cell Disease: All you need to know – The Indian Express | June 29th, 2020

On Aug. 4, Hutchinson Regional Medical Center will open the Hutchinson Hematology and Oncology clinic. Dr. Sawsan Amireh will join the Hutch Regional team that day and see her first patients at her clinic which will be located in Suite 4 of Doctors Park at 2100 N. Waldron St., a building located to the southwest of the main hospital campus on the east side of Waldron Street.

Hematology and Oncology are two branches of medicine that continue to be a concern of members of our community and throughout the State of Kansas.

Oncology is the branch of medical science dealing with tumors, including the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. More than 1.8 million Americans, including 16,000 Kansans, are diagnosed with cancer each year. For more than 600,000 of our nations population each year, cancer is a terminal disease. The good news is that 17 million Americans are living out their lives as cancer survivors.

Cancer is best defined as the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells and the cause is often attributed to everything from heredity to an unhealthy lifestyle including tobacco use and excess weight. Treatments are medical, surgical, Chemotherapy and Radiation.

Hematology is the branch of medicine dealing with the cause, treatment and prevention of disease related to the blood. Specific issues dealt with include treatment of bleeding disorders, Lymphoma and Leukemia and blood transfusions, along with bone marrow and stem cell transplants.

Dr. Amireh, who has received training on the latest treatment protocols, arrives at Hutch Regional with impeccable credentials and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. She received her doctorate degree in 2011 from the University of Jordan School of Medicine in Amman, Jordan. Since 2017, Dr. Amireh has participated in a Hematology and Oncology Fellowship and also served as chief fellow with the State University of New York Downstate Health Science Center in Brooklyn, New York. Also, Dr. Amireh served as Associate Chief Medical Resident and Internal Medical Resident at Saint Michaels Medical Center in New Jersey.

In 2010, Dr. Amireh completed special training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee on Hepatology and Pediatric Endocrinology. She has won numerous awards and honors including the Clinical Documentation Excellence Award from St. Michaels Medical Center, the Academic Excellence Award from the University of Jordan School of Medicine, and the English Talented Writing Award from the University of Jordan.

Dr. Amireh is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Society of Hematology, American College of Physicians, and the Jordan Medical Association.

Dr. Amireh said Oncology has entered a new era with the onset of COVID-19. "Cancer patients are now more vulnerable and will need to be more diligent to avoid infection which proves that life is more fragile than it once was," Dr. Amireh said. "I am looking forward to starting a hospital-based practice. We have a young family and southcentral Kansas is a good place to raise a two-year old. New York is too busy and not really family friendly."

"I want my practice to be inclusive and will welcome everyone who needs treatment and care," Dr. Amireh continued.

A six-year-old who won the nations hearts in his battle with leukaemia has been given a heroes welcome after flying home following months of life-saving cancer treatment in Singapore.

Brave Oscar Saxelby-Lee from St Johns, Worcester, was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer in December 2018 after his parents noticed unusual bruising on his legs.

Doctors gave him months to find a stem cell match to save his life which led to parents Olivia Saxelby, 25, and Jamie Lee, 28, launching a UK-wide appeal for donors.

Last March a record-breaking 4,855 volunteers queued in the freezing rain after Oscars primary school in opened as a testing centre.

In total more than 10,000 people were tested across the UK until a match was finally found.

But just months later, the family faced further anguish after discovering Oscars cancer had returned.

After a crowdfunding campaign raised 600,000, Oscar was flown to Singapore for pioneering treatment not available on the NHS.

Oscar became only the second child in the world to undergo CAR-T therapy before having a second bone marrow transplant using stem cells from dad Jamie.

Just three months after the successful operation, Oscar and his parents were given the all clear to return to the UK and hours after touching down he was driven see his classmates, who cheered as he drove past the school gates.

In heartwarming pictures Oscar grins from ear to ear as his proud dad sits next to him and his mum breaks down in tears of joy.

Pupils gave Oscar a huge bunch of colourful balloons which the youngster struggled to fit inside the car.

Jen Kelly, from the Grace Kelly Trust which helped raise 173,000 to fund his life-saving treatment, said: The Grave Kelly Trust is delighted to see Oscar returning home to the UK with his mum and dad.

Out smiles have been growing ever wider as we watched Oscars miraculous journey.

We are so proud to have been able to play a key part in Oscars bid for life-saving treatment in Singapore and it is wonderful to see Oscar doing so well following his ground-breaking treatment.

This news is amazing, not just for Oscar, but potentially for other children in a similar position in the future.

Oscar still has a way to go and will need to be shielded for a good while longer once he gets home, but he remains cancer free and smiling.

Story continues

Throughout his treatment, Oscar has kept in touch with his classmates and teachers from his hospital bed via an innovative robot - nicknamed Ozzybot.

His headteacher Kate Wilcock, who organised the huge donor registration event and Ozzybot lessons, said: There have been plenty of ups and downs to get here but this is the absolute icing on the cake that hes come home, cancer free and its worked.

Our future plans now will be to support Oscar and his family and even start some learning at home.

Then we will be working really closely with Olivia, Jamie and Oscar for some transition into school.

That will be the best day when he walks back through the door at Pitmaston Primary.

When he left hospital for the final time in Singapore Ozzy, as he is affectionately nicknamed, was given a guard of honour by medical staff.

A video posted on the Hand in Hand for Oscar Facebook page, shows the youngster beaming as he is driven away and shouts: Bye hospital, thank you!

Unfortunate news for those hoping the coronavirus pandemic was fading away: models suggest that an apocalyptic resurgence could be coming in the near future.

Multiple U.S. states, including Florida, Texas, and California, are currently experiencing record daily numbers of new COVID-19 cases, CNN reports. And they all still seem to be on the upswing.

Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor College of Medicines National School of Tropical Medicine, told CNN that Houston is on track to be the most coronavirus-ravaged city in the U.S. but that other Texas cities arent far behind.

The big metro areas seem to be rising very quickly and some of the models are on the verge of being apocalyptic, Hotez told CNN.

The three states hitting record numbers right now are also the most populous in the country. Combined, their new surges put more than 27 percent of the U.S. population at risk, CNN reports.

Hotez, whos also working on an experimental COVID-19 vaccine, warns that Houston in particular may quadruple its coronavirus case load over the next two weeks, which would put the same devastating strain on its healthcare system that places like New York City experienced earlier in the year.

That is really worrisome and as those numbers rise, were seeing commensurate increases in the number of hospitalizations and ICU admissions, Hotex told CNN. You get to the point where you overwhelm ICUs and thats when the mortality goes up.

Dana-Farber Patient Recovering Well After Cancer and the Coronavirus

Pam Dobay is a warrior. In the last three years, the 67-year-old has dealt with a cancer diagnosis and stem cell transplant before recently contracting the coronavirus.

None of it was easy, but today, Dobay is recovering at home. She says she cannot begin to express the gratitude she feels towards everyone who has cared for her, including her Dana-Farber care team and her family.

When this is all over, I want to show everyone at Dana-Farber what they did, and thank them for everything, says Dobay.

A Blood Cancer Diagnosis

In February 2018, Dobay was diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a blood disorder in which the bone marrow is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. Dobays primary care physician first worried something wasnt right after her test results from routine blood work came back abnormal. Myelofibrosis is a precursor condition for leukemia, meaning it puts those who are diagnosed at a much higher chance of developing the disease.

Dobay, who lives in Holbrook, MA, was placed under the care ofCorey Cutler, MD, MPH, medical director of theAdult Stem Cell Transplantation Programat Dana-Farber/Brigham and Womens Cancer Center. Initially, she was given blood transfusions to help her body compensate for the bone marrows inability to produce red blood cells. This treatment is not designed to be a permanent fix, despite being highly effective for a short period of time: Eventually, Dobay would need a bone marrow transplant.

In September 2018, just six months after her diagnosis, Dobay underwent areduced-intensity transplant(sometimes referred to as a mini-transplant). Mini-transplant patients receive lower doses of chemotherapy than are used in a full-intensity transplant, and in general, receive no radiation therapy. The reduced-intensity procedure was developed for older patients and others who often cant tolerate the harsh side effects of full-intensity treatments.

The procedure still proved to be difficult for Dobay, who ended up in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to complications. This was a possibility her care team had prepared for, and slowly, her condition improved. While she still has some symptoms of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), she and her family including Robert Dobay, her husband of 45 years hoped this would be her toughest test.
