This study assesses the impact of a telemedicine-based home management program (THMP) on patient adherence, hospital readmissions, and quality life (QOL) after liver transplantation (LT).Telemedicine interventions represent an opportunity to personalize care can lead improved adherence satisfaction. However, there is limited data these outcomes LT. Therefore, we conducted first randomized controlled trial (RCT) THMP compared standard (SOC) LT.One hundred six consecutive LT recipients were...
Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States over past decade, and recent studies have shown this trend liver transplantation (LT) population. These patients may be candidates for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) to promote significant sustained weight loss prevent recurrence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. However, safety remains a concern, efficacy setting is uncertain. A single‐institution database from 2014 2018 was queried undergoing LSG following LT. The selection criteria...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the 1-year safety and effectiveness HBV Nucleic Acid Test positive (HBV NAT+) allografts in seronegative kidney transplant (KT) liver (LT) recipients. Summary Background Data: Despite an ongoing organ shortage, utilization NAT+ into recipients has not been investigated. Methods: From January 2017 October 2020, a prospective cohort conducted among consecutive KT LT at single institution. Primary endpoints were post-transplant viremia, graft...
Aims While etiology behind the observed acceleration of ischemic heart disease in postmenopausal women is poorly understood, collective scientific data suggest cardioprotective effects endogenous female sex hormone, estrogen. We have previously shown that 17β-estradiol (E2) protects cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) by inhibiting p38α - p53 signaling apoptosis and activating pro-survival p38β mitogen activated protein kinase (p38β MAPK), leading suppression reactive...
BACKGROUND As part of ongoing perioperative surgical home implantation process, we applied a previously published algorithm for creation maximum blood order schedule (MSBOS) to our operating rooms. We hypothesized that using the MSBOS could show reduction in unnecessary preoperative testing and associated costs. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Data regarding all cases done at UC Irvine Health's rooms from January 1, 2011, 2014 were extracted anesthesia information management systems (AIMS). After...
Diabetes self-management education (DSME) improves glycemic control and health outcomes in patients with diabetes.A process evaluation of a two-year pilot intervention examined the feasibility acceptability undergraduate volunteers as Patient Partners to foster DSME participation among underserved.Design setting, participants. In setting student-run free clinic, 22 enrolled were paired 16 volunteers. During courses, assisted during classes, called weekly, accompanied clinic appointments.Key...
Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) is indicated for patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and concurrent renal insufficiency. En bloc SLKT an alternative to traditional separate implantations, but studies comparing the two techniques are limited. The en technique maintains outflow via donor infrahepatic vena cava inflow anastomosis of artery splenic artery. Comparison recipients (n = 17) vs between 2013 2017 was performed. Recipient demographics comorbidities were...
