Taking prescribed beta blockers during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may increase mortality risk due to suppression of signals from nerves that promote bone marrow regeneration, according to study results.

Published results showed positive long-term clinical and functional outcomes for patients with knee chondral defects who underwent one-step cartilage repair with a hyaluronic acid-based scaffold and bone marrow aspirate concentrate graft.

Published results showed autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate injections may not provide benefit as an adjuvant for patients with meniscal tears and concomitant knee osteoarthritis who undergo arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.

Published results showed patients who received bone marrow stimulation with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had similar functional, clinical and radiographic outcomes at 2 years compared with a control group.

BOSTON — According to presented results, meniscal repair with augmentation using marrow venting and platelet-rich plasma did not significantly affect patient-reported outcomes or survivorship at minimum 2-year follow-up.

PHILADELPHIA — In this Healio video exclusive, Michael C. Honigberg, MD, MPP, discusses the latest research on clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential in blood cells, an emerging risk factor for CVD.

Published results showed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with bone marrow stimulation yielded no significant improvements in retear rate, functional outcomes or complications compared with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair alone.

Bioengineering company Ossium Health, which is developing the first bank of bone marrow collected from organ donors, has partnered with the National Marrow Donor Program/Be The Match to increase access to lifesaving bone marrow.

Healio spoke with Gwen Nichols, MD, about when to consider a CML diagnosis.
