Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bone marrow (BM) harvesting is one of the essential sources of stem cells for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In 2019, commercial BM collection kits became unavailable in Europe. Consequently, we created an in-house BM collection kit as an alternative. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared two groups of BM collections. The first collections were taken using an in-house kit from June 2022 through February 2023 and the second with a commercial kit from February 2021 through May 2022. These all took place at seven collection centres (CC). We analysed the harvest quality (cell blood count, CD34+ cells, viability, potency and sterility), the incidents occurring with each kit and the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment in recipients. RESULTS A total of 23 donors underwent BM harvesting with the in-house kit and 23 with the commercial one. Both cohorts were comparable regarding donor characteristics, CC and time to procedure. No statistical differences were found in harvest quality between the in-house and commercial kits. A new transfusion set was required in three BM harvests (13%) with the in-house kit because of filter clogging. The median time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 21 days for both cohorts and 29 days (in-house) and 33 days (commercial), p = 0.284, respectively. CONCLUSION The in-house BM collection kit offers a real approach to solve the diminished supply of commercial kits. A higher risk of filter clogging was observed compared with commercial kits due to the lack of 850 and 500 μm filters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Engraftment and non-relapse mortality (NRM) greatly depend upon the transplant platform in patients with Myelofibrosis (MF). OBJECTIVE We report outcomes of 14 consecutive MF patients who received reduced doses of post-transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy) (60 mg/kg total dose) and tacrolimus as graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis as part of a new standardized allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation (allo-HCT) protocol. STUDY DESIGN Median age at HCT was 59 years (range: 41-67), and median interval from diagnosis to HCT was 19 months (range: 2-114). All cases received ruxolitinib before HCT and 71% had no response. Most patients (78%) had symptomatic splenomegaly at HCT. Eighty-six percent received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and most of them (64%) from an unrelated donor. RESULTS There were not graft failures and neutrophil and platelet recovery occurred at a median of 21 and 31 days. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD was 28.6% and 7%. The 2-year incidence of overall and moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 36% and 14%. Only 1 patient relapsed after transplant, and NRM at 100 days and 2-years was 7% and 14%. GVHD-free/relapse-free and immunosuppression free incidence at 1 year was 41%. With a median follow-up for survivors of 28 months (range:8-55), the 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival are 86% and 69%. CONCLUSION Reduced doses of PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis for high risk MF patients shows promising results by reducing GVHD incidence without cases of graft failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High-dose total body irradiation (TBI) is considered a cornerstone of myeloablative conditioning for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). We retrospectively compared the main outcomes of an HLA matched or 1-allele mismatched related or unrelated allo-SCT in adult patients affected by acute leukemia (AL) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). METHODS Fifty-nine patients received cyclophosphamide (Cy)-TBI (13.5 Gy) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with a calcineurin-inhibitor plus methrotrexate (CyTBI group) and 28 patients received fludarabine-TBI (8.8-13.5 Gy) and GVHD prophylaxis with PTCy and tacrolimus (FluTBI-PTCy group). RESULTS Median follow-up for survivors was 82 and 22 months. The 12-month probability of overall survival and progression-free survival were similar (p = .18, p = .7). The incidence of Grades 2-4 and 3-4 acute GVHD, and the incidence of moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD were higher in the CyTBI group (p = .02, p < .01and p = .03). Nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 12 months posttransplant was higher in the CyTBI group (p = 0.05), while the incidence of relapse was similar in both groups (p = 0.7). The number of GVHD-free and relapse-free patients without systemic immunosuppression (GRFS) at 1-year posttransplant was higher in the FluTBI-PTCy group (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The study confirms the safety and efficacy of a novel FluTBI-PTCy platform with reduced incidence of severe acute and chronic GVHD, and early improvement of NRM.

Abstract
Head-up tilt table testing (HUTT) is a useful tool for the diagnosis of unknown origin of syncope. A setback is its duration. This study tries to establish a specific parameter that, according to the heart rate elevation in the test's initial phase, allows a reliable prediction of its outcome. In a prospective study, every patient being under unknown syncope workup was included. A two-phase 20-minute tilt table test was performed. The initial phase was passive, and the second required pharmacological stimulation with isoproterenol. The basal and 5- and 10-minute heart rate values of the passive phase were measured and compared within the group and against negative tests. During a 1-year period, 115 HUTT were performed: 88 were positive and 27 negative. The negative HUTT patients had an increase in HR of 5.05 (+/- 13.5) beats/min at 5 minutes, and 5.79 (+/- 12.9) beats/min at 10 minutes (P = 0.2). Those with a positive HUTT had an increase of 9.05 (+/- 14.5) beats/min at 5 minutes, and of 10 (+/- 13.4) beats/min at 10 minutes (P < 0.001). There were no significant changes in HR when comparing positive to negative HUTT. There is no specific number that allows predication of outcome early in HUTT. Within the group, variations are important. Only a group tendency can be established, which strongly correlates with the results obtained during the test.

Abstract
Interventricular septal rupture is a rare complication of the acute myocardial infarction. We report a case with rupture 4 weeks after diaphragmatic wall necrosis. The patient developed heart failure, precordial murmur and clinical signs of left-to-right shunt. The septal rupture was detected by two-dimensional echocardiogram and confirmed by catheterization. The surgical correction of the defect, was successful.

Abstract
Due to the lack of uniformity in the criteria for formulating the diagnosis of the syndrome of heterotaxy, 12 cases with this abnormality were reviewed. The patients were selected on the following basis: symmetrical liver, changeable P waves in consecutive electrocardiograms, bronchial isomerism, hematological disturbances, anomalous relationship of the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta, anomalous systemic and pulmonary venous drainage and complex cardiac malformations. The most frequent findings were: symmetrical liver, changeable P waves, anomalous systemic venous return, anomalies of the atrio-ventricular valves, particularly atrioventricular canal, aorto-cava juxtaposition, single atrium, anomalous pulmonary venous return, transposition of the great arteries and pulmonary stenosis. Less frequent anomalies were: atrial and ventricular septal defects, atrial isomerism, truncus arteriosus and partial distortion of the great arteries. The hematological disturbances as well as the radioisotope scanning of the liver and the spleen were of little help. Suggestions are given for the diagnosis of the syndrome and for the evaluation of present diagnostic procedures making necessary to use the data gathered with more precision.
