To prevent such life-threatening [...] transplantation of bone marrow and blood stem cells is a complicated and very stressful procedure for patients. Nevertheless, it is often the only chance for a cure. In the Department of Haematology, Haemostaseology [...] and specialists involved. In 2019, 90 stem cell transplants were performed at the clinic. In adult patients, stem cell transplants are mainly performed for malignant diseases of the blood formation. "Mostly

coronary artery through a heart catheter, many patients suffer irreversible damage to the heart muscles, the so-called infarction. SSO2 therapy is performed in patients who have suffered the most dangerous form [...] damage the heart so severely that patients who survive it develop severe heart failure due to the large scarring of the heart muscle," explains Professor Schäfer. These patients can benefit from SSO2 therapy [...] Despite good medical care, many are left with reduced cardiac output. This is particularly true for patients with severe heart attacks: more than 30 percent of those affected develop heart failure, and almost
although this group of immune cells is reduced in the blood of patients with liver cirrhosis, it is increased in the abdominal fluid of these patients and exhibits an activated, tissue-resident phenotype here [...] Christian Niehaus, MD , has submitted his dissertation "Mucosal-associated invariant T cells in patients with liver cirrhosis" to Professor Markus Cornberg, MD, Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology [...] Diseases and Endocrinology. The data of his dissertation work provide extensive new results in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis and open up mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells as a new potential
