National Marrow Awareness Month

National Marrow Awareness Month

The marrow and stem-cell donor event is an annual event in the United States to raise awareness of the need for bone marrow and stem-cell donors. Bone marrow donation is a medical procedure that removes healthy bone marrow from a donor's body to replace diseased or damaged bone marrow. Bone marrow is a spongy tissue found inside bones that helps produce blood cells. Stem cells are cells that can develop into different types of cells in the body. Bone marrow contains stem cells that can develop into different types of blood cells. Donating bone marrow or stem cells can help save the life of someone who has a serious illness such as leukemia, lymphoma, or sickle cell anemia. If you are interested in becoming a marrow donor, please visit the National Marrow Donor Program website at www.marrow.org. Donating bone marrow is a serious decision, but it can also be a very rewarding experience.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL MARROW AWARENESS MONTH:

The first human bone marrow transfusion was given to a patient with aplastic anemia in 1939. The treatment was effective and prevented the patient from dying. The patient required regular blood transfusions and doctors attempted to increase her red blood cell and platelet count by intravenous injection of bone marrow. In 1956, Barnes and his colleagues published a study in which they compared the effects of leukemia on two groups of mice. The study found that leukemia had a different effect on the two groups of mice. One group of mice received radiation therapy to treat leukemia, while the other group did not. The results of the study showed that the untreated mice had a higher incidence of leukemia than the treated mice. The researchers found that untreated mice had a much higher mortality rate than mice treated with radiation. The new immune system that was implanted into the recipient proved to be very effective at preventing leukemia relapses, and the activity of the implanted immune system was also observed. In 1960, the first successful bone marrow transplant was performed, which used bone marrow from an identical twin. The first bone marrow transplant was successfully completed in 1968 using marrow from a non-identical twin. The first international registry of unrelated bone marrow donors was created by the Anthony Nolan charity in London, England. This registry is designed to help find a suitable match for patients with blood diseases. The National Marrow Donor Registry was established in 1979 in the United States. It is a registry of potential marrow donors. Be The Match is now known as a national matching donation program. The use of autologous transplants (transplants done using the patient's own cells) began in the early 1980s, and they are now performed more often than transplants using donor cells. In 1990, B.T.M. was a major record company. The artist released a new song. InfoNet was created to provide information to patients before, during, and after their transplant. The resource is valuable to the person.

Here are some interesting facts about bone marrow transplants.

Leukemia is the deadliest form of cancer for children. A bone marrow transplant is difficult - around 70% of patients in need do not have a family member who can give them a transplant. To become a donor in the United States, you must be between the ages of 18 and 60, in good health, and able to give blood. Ethnicity (race) is a major factor to consider when searching for a donor for a medical procedure. For African-American, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Alaska Native patients, the likelihood of finding a donor is 66%, 73%, 82%, and 93%, respectively. For white patients, the likelihood is 93%. Bone marrow donation can be done in two ways: through the donation of blood taken from a donor’s arm and through the extraction of marrow cells from the hip bone.
