Donor Stem Cell Transplantation Associated With Survival Benefit For Patients With Leukemia
An analysis of previous studies indicates that allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) (stem cells from a compatible donor) is associated with significant overall and relapse-free survival benefit among adult patients with intermediate- and poor-risk but not good-risk acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission, compared with nonallogeneic SCT therapies, according to an article in the June 10 issue of JAMA.

Predicting Fatal Fungal Infections
In a study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified cells in blood that predict which HIV-positive individuals are most likely to develop deadly fungal meningitis, a major cause of HIV-related death. This form of meningitis affects more than 900,000 HIV-infected people globally most of them in sub-Saharan Africa and other areas of the world where antiretroviral therapy for HIV is not available.

MS Society Responds To Debbie Purdy Ruling - Clarification On The Law Of Assisted Suicide, UK

The MS Society has responded to today"s Law Lords ruling concerning the case of Debbie Purdy, who has sought clarification on the law of assisted suicide. Debbie, 46, who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1995, wanted to be assured that her husband would not be prosecuted on his return to the UK, if he accompanies her to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland. It is now thought that the Law Lords will ask the Director of Public Prosecutions to set out when prosecutions would happen. Simon Gillespie, Chief Executive of the MS Society, said: "Debbie Purdy"s victory has pushed MS into the spotlight but there is far more to living with MS - even in its more severe forms - than planning how to die. "There are 100,000 people with MS across the UK and most will live about as long as any of us. The key to living well with MS is access to the right care and support, including palliative care when it"s needed. "Most palliative care res are focused on cancer and cases like this show why the Government"s end of life care strategy is so important." MS Society
