Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is increasingly used in deceased donor kidney transplantation, but controversy exists regarding the value of biomarkers and pump parameters for assessing organ quality. We prospectively determined associations between perfusate (neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin [NGAL], injury molecule 1, IL-18 liver-type fatty acid–binding protein [L-FABP]) (resistance flow) with outcomes delayed graft function (DGF) 6-mo estimated GFR (eGFR). DGF occurred 230...
ABSTRACT PURPOSE A non-surgical alternative for treating cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 is an unmet need due to a risk of incompetency. METHODS PepCan consists four human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 E6 peptides and Candida skin testing reagent (adjuvant). In this randomized, double-blind Phase 2 study, women with biopsy-confirmed CIN2/3 were treated or at one ratio. Four intradermal injections given every 3 weeks, observation visits 6 12 months post-vaccination. Quadrant...
High-throughput 'omic' data, such as gene expression, DNA methylation, copy number, has played an instrumental role in furthering our understanding of the molecular basis states human health and disease. As cells with similar morphological characteristics can exhibit entirely different profiles because potential that these discrepancies might further patient-level variability clinical outcomes, there is significant interest use high-throughput data for identification novel subtypes a While...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) comprising of emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the most common respiratory diseases that impart a huge economic clinical burden. Factors other than smoking air pollutants can cause inflammation emphysematous changes in lung airspaces or alveoli have been understudied. Using cross-sectional study design, we assessed association dark green vegetables, vitamin K Vitamin A with status among adults at U.S. These nutrients role biology. complete...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic that can lead to severe distress requiring hospitalization and be fatal. Media have reported various dietary supplements (DS) or their combination with different medications prevent infection decrease disease severity. Here, we analyzed data collected from 15,830 patient follow-up telephone interviews University of Arkansas Medical Sciences testing sites March 15 August 1, 2020....
Existing methods to predict recipient allograft function during deceased-donor kidney procurement are imprecise. Understanding the potential renal reparative role for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a cytokine involved in macrophage recruitment after injury, might help outcomes.We conducted sub-study of multicenter prospective Deceased Donor Study cohort, which evaluated deceased donors from five organ organizations May 2010 December 2013. We measured urine MCP-1 (uMCP-1)...
Abstract Purpose To investigate a planning technique that can possibly reduce low‐to‐intermediate dose spillage (measured by R50%, D2cm values) in lung SBRT plans. Materials and Methods Dose falloff outside the target was studied retrospectively 102 VMAT plans of tumor. Plans having R50% and/or higher than recommended tolerances RTOG protocols 0813 0915 were replanned with new optimization constraints using novel shell structures constraints. Violations value be rectified constraint to...
2634 Background: A non-surgical alternative for treating cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) would be desirable due to a risk of incompetency in subsequent pregnancies. PepCan consists four HPV 16 E6 peptides and Candida skin testing reagent (Candin, Nielsen Biosciences),because Candida’s ability regress common warts humans, promote T cell proliferation interleukin-12 secretion vitro. We previously demonstrated safety efficacy alone comparison historical placebo regressing CIN2/3 no...

Background/Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess patients' use a crowdfunding platform raise funds for radiation treatment and better understand the direct indirect costs associated with treatments. Materials Methods: GoFundMe database queried four unique categories related campaigns. Covariates identified included clinical demographic variables, associations between amount raised these predictors were analyzed using generalized linear model. Results: While 56% percent campaigns cited...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an underrecognized disorder due to the variability of its presentation and fact that in adults, diagnosis based on cumbersome, pediatric-based criteria. Data regarding demographics, underlying causes, clinical features, laboratory results, complications, treatments received, outcomes were collected analyzed 41 patients who diagnosed treated at University Arkansas for Medical Sciences between 2007 2019. In this group, 51% male, median age was 47...
Abstract Background Persons living with human immunodeficiency virus are an underserved population for evidence-based cancer treatment. Paclitaxel and carboplatin (PCb) is active regimen against a variety of solid tumors, including several seen in excess patients HIV infection. We performed pilot trial to evaluate the safety full-dose PCb people cancer. Methods Eligible patients, stratified by concurrent antiretroviral therapy (ART) that included CYP3A4 inhibitors or not, received paclitaxel...
Purpose We aimed to evaluate brachytherapy-related posts on Instagram by identifying patient concerns, the content of related posts, and user outreach.
