The optimal hemoglobin threshold to guide red blood cell (RBC) transfusion for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and anemia is uncertain. To estimate the efficacy of 4 individual thresholds (<10 g/dL [<100 g/L], <9 [<90 <8 [<80 <7 [<70 g/L]) in MI anemia. Prespecified secondary analysis MINT (Myocardial Ischemia Transfusion) trial using target emulation methods. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02981407). 144 clinical sites 6 countries. 3492 participants a level below 10 g/dL. Four...

Emergency department (ED) visits and readmissions after thoracic surgery are a major health care problem. We hypothesized that the addition of novel post-discharge mobile app specific to an existing home program would reduce ED compared alone.We conducted prospective cohort study patients undergoing lung resection for malignant disease between November 2016 May 2018. Patients received either alone (control group) or plus patient-input (intervention group). Primary outcomes were 30-day...

Background: For islet cell replacement strategies to be leveraged their full potential in diabetes care, rejection of transplanted human primary or stem cell-derived islets must prevented without maintenance immunosuppression. Two peritransplant infusions apoptotic donor leukocytes (ADLs) under induction immunosuppression (IIS) safely induced long-term tolerance via depletion alloreactive T cells and expansion several regulatory subsets. A deeper understanding the immune mechanisms...
Abstract Background Immunocompromised patients are inherently vulnerable to severe outcomes vaccine preventable infections compared the general population. This study aims investigate impact of immunosuppression on response ChAdOx1nCov-19 and BNT162b2 vaccines better inform vaccination efforts in this cohort. Methods A three-armed randomised controlled trial was performed. Patients with autoimmune disorders immunosuppressive therapies healthy controls were recruited from two sites....
