| | Bone marrow transplant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the case of a bone marrow transplant (BMT), the HSC are removed from a large bone of the donor, typically the pelvis, through a large needle that reaches the center of the bone. | | | The technique is referred to as a bone marrow harvest and is performed with general anesthesia because hundreds of insertions of the needle are required to obtain sufficient material. | | | HSC are infused into the blood stream of the recipient through an intravenous (i.v.) catheter, like any other i.v. |

| | Bone Marrow Transplantation is replacing or transplanting healthy bone marrow or stem cells to replace bone marrow affected by a malignant condition (cancer) or bone marrow that is responsible for an immune deficiency condition. | | | Replacing the defective bone marrow of an otherwise healthy person is one use of transplantation techniques, but at least 90 percent of all bone marrow transplants are performed to treat cancer. | | | Once the chemotherapy and radiation therapy is completed, the protected bone marrow is given back to the patient. |

| | Bone Marrow Transplantation |
| | Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a special therapy for patients with cancer or other diseases which affect the bone marrow. | | | This therapy is often called ablative, or myeloablative, because of the effect on the bone marrow. | | | The goal of BMT is to transfuse healthy bone marrow cells into a person after their own unhealthy bone marrow has been eliminated. |

| | Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration are useful for numerous conditions. | | | A bone marrow biopsy and aspiration are usually done by a doctor such as a hematologist or oncologist, by a nurse, or by a specially trained technologist. | | | Because bone marrow biopsy and aspiration can be painful, you'll need some form of anesthesia to reduce the pain. |

| | Bone Marrow - Cancer information on MedicineNet.com |
| | A bone marrow procedure (commonly referred to as a bone marrow or bone marrow aspiration) is a technique used to obtain the blood-forming portion (marrow) of the inner core of bone for examination in the laboratory or for transplantation. | | | Another frequent purpose of a bone marrow is to diagnose certain cancers or to determine the extent of the cancer (cancer staging) within the bone marrow. | | | The bone marrow consists of inserting a special needle into a bone that contains marrow and withdrawing the marrow by suction or coring out a sample of the marrow. |

| | In the cross-sectional baseline analysis, varus malalignment was significantly correlated with the presence of bone marrow lesion(s) in the medial compartment especially extreme varus malalignment (greater than or equal to 7 degrees of varus deformity). | | | Expanding the concept that other aspects of knee OA can be mechanistically modeled at the level of subchondral bone rather than the articular cartilage, Felson et al seek to show a relationship between bone marrow edema, mechanical malalignment and risk of progression of OA of the knee (Ann Intern Med.2003; 139:330). | | | For instance, whether an initial insult to articular cartilage leads to mechanical malalignment and subsequent subchondral bone destruction or rather subchondral bone damage leads to mechanical malalignment and subsequent articular cartilage destruction is not explained by the current analysis. |
