Revaccination of children after standard chemotherapy is important, and protection can be achieved in the majority of these children using a simple schedule of 1 vaccine dose at 6 months after completion of leukemia therapy.
Revaccination of pediatric HSCT recipients in accordance with this revaccination schedule provides a high level of protection against these vaccine-preventable diseases.
Ten diabetics, nine requiring insulin, were kept alive on peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis for varying periods of time, with a mean suvival rate of 7 months only per patient. The management of the cardiovascular problems affecting the brain, eye, heart, and peripheral vessels far exceeded the difficulties in managing their diabetic state. Two patients were maintained on home dialysis, one with full sight, the other with partial sight. One patient received a combined renal and pancreatic transplant and required no insulin for 8 days, succumbing from a pulmonary embolus. Patients with diabetes will be accepted in the future for regular dialysis, particularly before severe protein restriction has taken place, and before hypertension has complicated their retinal problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
