Background and objectives: Lower rates of living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) among candidates who are black or older may stem from lower likelihoods (1) recruiting potential donors (2) actually donating (donor “conversion”). Design, setting, participants, & measurements: A single-center, retrospective cohort study was performed to determine race, age, gender differences in LDKT, recruitment, conversion. Results: Of 1617 candidates, 791 (48.9%) recruited at least one donor, 452 (28.0%)...
Animal models and observational human data indicate that complement, including C5a, pathogenically participates in ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury manifests as delayed graft function (DGF) following deceased donor kidney transplantation. We report on the safety/efficacy of anti-C5 monoclonal antibody eculizumab (Ecu) administered operating room prior to reperfusion, prevent DGF recipients transplants two related, investigator-sponsored, randomized controlled trials. Eight from a single...
Abstract Background Patient and clinician interest in using diet inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is strong, but high-quality data limited. Cycles of a short intermittent calorie restricted (IRCD) have been shown to improve metabolic outcomes healthy subjects, how this translates patients with IBD unclear. We conducted randomized control trial assess the effects IRCD on activity Crohn’s (CD). Methods analyzed from 97 mild moderate CD (Crohn’s Disease Activity Index, CDAI 151-450) between...

Background. The optimal regimen for prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease after kidney and/or pancreas transplantation remains unclear. We compared the effectiveness three months oral ganciclovir (3 g/day) versus low-dose valganciclovir (450 mg/day) CMV prophylaxis. Methods. performed a retrospective cohort study patients at our center who received transplants between January 2000 and April 2003. used Cox proportional hazards model to examine relationship baseline covariates,...
In the USA, lower rate of live donor kidney transplant among Black candidates may stem from rates donation potential donors who are Black. We determined whether outcomes evaluation varied according to donors' demographic characteristics.We performed a single-center, retrospective observational cohort study 1,179 donors, came forward between 2000 and 2007. Potential intended recipients were first-time evaluated 2005.There 268 (22.7%) Black, whom 93.7% recruited by candidates. Donor included...
Abstract Compatible pairs of living kidney donors and their intended recipients can enter into paired donation ( KPD ) facilitate additional donor transplants LDKT s). We examined 11 compatible (the intended, donors) who participated in , along with the recipients’ matched, exchange donors. The 10 separate exchanges (three were multicenter exchanges) that included 33 total s (22 All blood group O female, a mean profile index LKDPI 27.6 SD 16.8). matched had 9.4 31.7). entered for altruistic...
Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk for malignancies. One recognized malignancy is ionizing radiation. The purpose of this study was to determine, among kidney recipients, the medical imaging procedures that contribute radiation exposure and their cumulative exposure, as a result pretransplant evaluation.Medical records patients who received first, kidney-alone during 2008 single center were examined. This identified performed prerequisites deceased donor wait-listing or...
Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a variant of FSGS and associated with severe nephrotic syndrome acute kidney injury can occur after transplantation. The exact mechanism collapsing transplantation unknown, but potential causes include autoimmune diseases, certain malignancies, bisphosphonates, m-TOR inhibitors, interferon-alpha, HIV infection, other viruses. We describe case de novo Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-associated in transplant recipient UL97 phosphotransferase...
4562 Background: Sunitinib significantly improved disease-free survival (DFS) vs placebo (PBO) in patients (pts) with loco-regional renal cell carcinoma (RCC) at high risk of recurrence post nephrectomy. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker systemic inflammatory response. A hoc exploratory analysis the S-TRAC trial evaluated NLR as potential prognostic factor RCC adjuvant setting. Methods: Sunitinib- and PBO-treated pts from were categorized into baseline (BL) < 3 ≥3 subgroups to...
Introduction: This exploratory retrospective analysis examined any potential prognostic role of preoperative neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for progression-free survival (PFS) and time to endoscopically verified upper tract or bladder recurrence-free (RFS) in urothelial cancer (UTUC) patients selected endoscopic treatment with subsequent endosurveillance. Patients Methods: Eligibility criteria were natural orifice retrogradely treated low-risk imperative UTUC between 2005 2019, biopsy...
Intubation prior to surgical intervention for thyroid goiters is typically straightforward and uneventful. However, retropharyngeal extension of a unique entity which characterized by displacement the hypopharynx laryngeal deviation. Two patients presented with progressive compressive symptoms due enlarging goiters. Imaging revealed significant involvement causing anterior larynx hypopharynx. Both were unsuccessfully intubated direct laryngoscopy, GlideScope laryngoscopy flexible fiberoptic...

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the most frequently diagnosed and second common cause of death from malignancy in men Western world. Despite this, conceptual advances understanding its pathobiology have remained elusive for over half a century. As with all cancers, it is metastasis (i.e. secondary formation) consequences that present significant biomedical clinical challenges to host, carers healthcare payors, as well researchers. Pre-metastatic or metastataic PCa treated by hormone-based...
