[Pituitary function and growth in children under treatment for leukemia (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The effect of cranial irradiation with doses of 2,400 and 4,800 rad on the pituitary function of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was studied. The plasma growth hormone level after arginine simulations was normal in 13 out of 15 children. The rise of TSH after TRH stimulation and the metyrapone test were also normal. The growth of 40 children during an observation period of 3 or more years was also normal.

01:21Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

01:22Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
