Background. Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are common in liver transplant recipients. The optimal SSI antimicrobial prophylaxis agent and duration not established. We aimed to explore risk factors for SSIs after transplant, with a particular interest the impact of perioperative antibiotic regimen on development SSIs. Methods. Retrospective study adults undergoing across 3 programs between January 1, 2020, June 01, 2021. Results. Of 557 patients included study, 32 (5.7%) were infected or...
Abstract Symptomatic degenerative prosthetic aortic valve stenosis during pregnancy represents a significant risk to both mother and fetus, until recently, surgical replacement (SAVR) was often the only choice for women opting continue pregnancy. However, symptomatic severe in pregnant woman with degenerated full root Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis (FSB) reimplanted coronary arteries presents additional complexities that require an alternative approach. In this case report, we describe...
Recently, Norovirus has been recognized as an important cause of diarrheal infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). We assessed the risk factors and outcomes infections (NVDI) Clostridioides difficile (CDI) on graft patient survival following (KT). examined KTRs transplanted at our center between 1994 2014, compared those who suffered from NVDI CDI with patients did not develop either infection. Each or was matched five controls based time transplant. Of 4941 KTs performed during...
Studies suggest that the generation of durable T-cell immunity following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination protects against severe disease. The aim this study was to measure cell-mediated immune response (CMIR) 1-2 months and 6 after a third dose COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. This prospective (HumoRal CellULar initial Sustained immunogenicity in patients with inflammatory bowel [IBD]) evaluated CMIR at 28-65 days (t 1 ) 2, 2 (n = 183) (±45 days) 3 167) an A small cohort had blood...
Adrenal schwannomas and juxta-adrenal are rare tumours. We aimed to summarise their clinical, biochemical imaging characteristics.Single-centre retrospective study of eligible patients between 1995 2022.Patients with a histopathologic diagnosis adrenal or schwannoma.Twenty-four were diagnosed either primary schwannoma (8, 33%) (16, 67%). Most tumours (21, 88%) discovered incidentally on imaging. All unilateral, 15 (62%) the left 9 (38%) right. At diagnosis, median tumour size was 4 cm...
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have an increased risk of skin cancer. We analyzed the outcomes KTRs transplanted at our center between January 1, 1994, and December 31, 2015, who reported pretransplant melanoma or had post-transplant de novo melanoma. Of 6,522 kidney with pancreas recipients, 37 After adjustment multiple variables, was associated overall death (HR: 1.75, 95% CI 1.02 - 3.03, p = 0.04) but not for death-censored graft failure (DCGF). A total 46 patients developed...
Abstract Disclosure: S. Rolak: None. N. Venkatesan: R. Gregg Garcia: W.F. Young: I. Bancos: Background: Bilateral primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) therapy. However, the best way to monitor success of MRA therapy unclear. Aims: To compare impact curative adrenalectomy versus in patients PA on plasma renin activity (PRA), renal function, and hypertension control. Methods: Single center retrospective study unilateral or bilateral MRAs,...
Introduction: Isolated small bowel polyposis is rare. A woman presented with 2 adenocarcinomas (ACAs) and >40 adenomatous polyps over a 6 year period. Case Description/Methods: 64-year-old to her local hospital in 2016 for evaluation of iron deficiency anemia. She had history IgA nephropathy renal transplant on cyclosporine, mycophenolate prednisone. no signs GI bleeding or family neoplasia. previous colonoscopy that revealed diminutive tubular adenomas (TA). repeat EGD were normal. Capsule...
Introduction: Lung and oropharyngeal cancers occur at higher rates in liver transplant recipients (LTRs) than the general population, with smoking as a known risk factor. Our aims were to 1) identify resumption post-liver (LT) frequency of interventions assist cessation 2) determine lung cancer screening practices post-LT cancer-related outcomes. Methods: Retrospective single center cohort study consecutive adult from 3/1/2015-11/1/2019. We examined patients former or current tobacco use...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) within a severely stenotic native or previously placed surgical biologic (SAVR) is rare occurrence in pregnant patients. The short- and long-term procedural outcomes for future pregnancies these women any woman of child bearing age who have received prior TAVR SAVR, are unknown. We describe the first result repeat pregnancy outcome with history SAVR. Both maternal fetal were favorable, but cardiac complications observed third trimester emphasize...
Background: Because rural providers may experience barriers in achieving the necessary components to successfully re-credential cardiac computed tomography (Cardiac CT), we evaluated current system for re-credentialing at our organization and implemented processes facilitate Cardiac CT providers.Methods: Institutional opportunities quality assurance (QA) conference attendance, imaging evaluation, continuing medical education (CME) acquisition were assessed 2009 2013. Process improvement...
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of the adverse events at one year post-cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT) using data gathered from Marshfield Clinic Health System (MCHS) Cardiac CT registry to compare non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), revascularization, all-cause mortality, and composite major cardiac (MACE) following in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) normal arteries. From 2009 2017, records 2,649 who underwent were reviewed. CAD detected by...
