Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation for Severe Aplastic Anemia and Hypo-plastic MDS using CordIn(TM), Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells to Expedite Engraftment and Improve Transplant Outcome
Treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) usually involves a bone marrow transplant. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are testing ways to make transplant using unrelated donor cells from umbilical cord blood safer and more effective. We hope these procedures will reduce post-transplant complications and improve transplant outcomes.

Nebulized or Inhaled Albuterol for Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are enrolling people with LAM into a research study. LAM is a rare progressive lung disease that usually strikes women during their childbearing years, between the onset of puberty and menopause. One possible treatment to improve breathing in patients with LAM is inhaled albuterol. Albuterol can be given using a hand held inhaler or with a nebulizer. The study wants to compare these methods to see which method improves lung function in patients with LAM.
