This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This textbook, endorsed by the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), provides adult and paediatric nurses with a full and informative guide covering all aspects of transplant nursing, from basic principles to advanced concepts. It takes the reader on a journey through the history of transplant nursing, including essential and progressive elements to help nurses improve their knowledge and benefit the patient experience, as well as a comprehensive introduction to research and auditing methods. This new volume specifically intended for nurses, complements the ESH-EBMT reference title, a popular educational resource originally developed in 2003 for physicians to accompany an annual training course also serving as an educational tool in its own right. This title is designed to develop the knowledge of nurses in transplantation. It is the first book of its kind specifically targeted at nurses in this specialist field and acknowledges the valuable contribution that nursing makes in this area. This volume presents information that is essential for the education of nurses new to transplantation, while also offering a valuable resource for more experienced nurses who wish to update their knowledge.

CONTEXT: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become a well-defined therapeutic strategy for a wide variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases with curative potential. Immune reconstitution post-HSCT is a complex and dynamic process, achieved in stages, depending on the type of transplant, the characteristics of the donor and the recipient, and the occurrence and stage of the graft versus host disease (GvHD).OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study is to identify the correlations between regenerating cell lineage and the time required for complete reconstitution of the immune status depending on the type of allogeneic transplantation.DESIGN: We retrospectively evaluated 16 patients, who have been undergoing allogeneic transplantation between January 2015 and March 2018, and who survived at least 100 days after transplantation in the Pediatric Department, Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest. We analyzed the immune status (B, T and NK cells) by immunophenotyping, using the following markers: Lambda, Kappa, CD56, CD5, CD19, TCRgd/CD16, CD3, CD38, CD20, CD8, CD4, CD45 at well-defined checkpoint intervals (3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 months after the transplant). Absolute values of each subgroup were calculated using the percentage of each subset and absolute count from the leukocytes. RESULTS: In this study, 16 patients have been undergoing allogeneic HSCT transplantation for malignant and non-malignant diseases. There were achieved 5 haploidentical HSCT, 8 HSTC from a matched unrelated donor (MUD), and 4 matched sibling donor (MSD). 5 patients experienced immune recovery during the first 6 months, the NK cells subset has reconstituted in the first 3 months, and the last one to recover was the T cells subset (CD4+). In our study group, the immune reconstitution rate was 20% for haploidentical transplantation, 37.5% for MUD and 25% for MSD. Moreover, delayed immune reconstitution has been associated with the occurrence/reactivation of viral infections (CMV, EBV, BKV, and JCV) with increased frequency in the post-grafting period.CONCLUSIONS: In our center, patients undergoing transplantation from MSD have the fastest immune reconstitution. The immune reconstitution of patients after allogeneic HSCT influences long-term survival by contributing to the management of infectious complications and of GvHD.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of critical care of the pediatric immunocompromised hematology-oncology patient. The text focuses on unique aspects of the pediatric immunocompromised patient that predisposes the child to significant illness, and presents critical care management strategies specific to the patient population. In addition to chapters on oncology, primary immune deficiency, immunocompromised hematology, and hematopoietic cell transplant patients, the book covers the changing landscape of ICU care, pharmacologic considerations, and psychological and social aspects of the critical care of hematology-oncology patients. Written by experts from a range of disciplines, Critical Care of the Pediatric Immunocompromised Hematology/Oncology Patient: An Evidence-Based Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians and practitioners who treat this patient population.

Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is the most common complication of allogenic bone marrow transplantation. Because of the protracted clinical course of chronic GVHD, transplant centers and hematology/oncology offices are inadequately equipped to manage these immuno-incompetent patients with a multi-system disorder. Practitioners need to be able to recognize and effectively manage chronic GVHD as a late effect of more than half of allogenic transplantations. The text is oriented for the clinician, with chapters covering staging, organ site and system-specific manifestations, treatment options, and supportive care. Drs Georgia B. Vogelsang and Steven Z. Pavletic have been pioneers in the recognition of the multi-organ complexity of this disease and have gathered the input of a variety of subspecialist physicians for this book. This book fills the gap in practical literature on chronic GVHD, providing a comprehensive, up-to-date, and clinically relevant resource for anyone who deals with cancer patients post-transplant.

Immune Biology of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Models in Discovery and Translation, Second Edition once again provides clinical and scientific researchers with a deep understanding of the current research in this field and the implications for translational practice. By providing an overview of the immune biology of HSCT, an explanation of immune rejection, and detail on antigens and their role in HSCT success, this book embraces biologists and clinicians who need a broad view of the deeply complex processes involved. It then moves on to discuss the immunobiology mechanisms that influence graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft-versus-leukemia effect, and transplantation success. Using illustrative figures, highlighting key issues, describing recent successes, and discussing unanswered questions, this book sums up the current state of HSCT to enhance the prospects for the future. The second edition is fully revised and includes new chapters on microbiome, metabolism, kinase targets, micro-RNA and mRNA regulatory mechanisms, signaling pathways in GVHD, innate lymphoid system development, recovery and function in GVHD, genetically engineered T-cell therapies, immune system engagers for GVHD and graft-versus-tumor, and hematopoietic cell transplant for tolerance induction in solid organ grafts. Brings together perspectives from leading laboratories and clinical research groups to highlight advances from bench to the bedside Guides readers through the caveats that must be considered when drawing conclusions from studies with animal models before correlating to clinical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) scenarios Categorizes the published advances in various aspects of immune biology of allogeneic HSCT to illustrate opportunities for clinical applications

A comprehensive survey of the current state-of-the-art in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for malignant disease. The authors focus on the indications and results of transplantation for acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and breast cancer. Special attention is given to transplant-related complications, including the pathophysiology and clinical consequences of acute and chronic GVHD, delayed immune reconstitution leading to infectious complications, and organ damage to the lung and liver. Additional chapters address the sources of stem cells and the effects of graft manipulation used to eliminate residual contaminating tumor cells in autologous transplantation, or to reduce the number of T lymphocytes causing GVHD in allogenic transplantation.
