Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation alters immune cell populations in the lung and bone marrow during coronavirus infection.

Respiratory viral infections are one of the major causes of illness and death worldwide. Symptoms associated with respiratory infections can range from mild to severe, and there is limited understanding of why there is large variation in severity. Environmental exposures are a potential causative factor.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in liver recipients: Characteristics, management, and outcome from a single-centre experience with >1000 liver transplantations.

Background: The literature regarding post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in liver transplant recipients (LTRs) is limited.

Objectives: To study the incidence, predictors and outcomes of PTLD after liver transplantation in a single, large-volume centre.

Methods: The charts of all LTRs (n=1372) in the authors' centre between January 2000 and June 2012 were retrospectively reviewed and those who developed PTLD were identified.
