Abstract

Conventional and quantitative aspects of electroencephalographic recordings obtained during a follow-up surveillance study in long-term survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood were investigated with respect to differences in central nervous system prophylaxis given during antileukemic therapy and compared with data derived from healthy controls. Central nervous system prophylaxis consisted either of cranial irradiation (18 Gray, group A, n = 8) or intermediate high-dose methotrexate (2000 mg/m2; group B, n = 5), each combined with intrathecal methotrexate. Conventional electroencephalographic analysis revealed comparable results in all three study groups. However, quantitative electroencephalography showed significantly increased absolute power scores for all frequency bands in both long-term survivor groups. Relative power estimates revealed a significant increase in delta/tau activities in both prophylaxis groups compared to healthy controls, which were countered by decreased percentage power scores in the alpha-range. Quantitative electroencephalographic comparisons between both central nervous system prophylaxis groups revealed only small differences in quantity, not quality, of the observed power disturbance...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
