Background: BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) is a significant complication in kidney transplant recipients, resulting in graft dysfunction and potentially leading to graft loss. This study aims to investigate the incidence and outcomes of BKVN in kidney transplant recipients receiving steroid-free maintenance immunosuppression in a Latin -American cohort.
Methods: Case series study of BKVN among kidney transplant recipients who underwent transplantation between 2008 and 2023.
Baleen whales use sounds of various characteristics for different tasks and interactions. This study focuses on recordings from the Costa Rica Rift, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, made by 25 ocean-bottom seismographs and a vertical array of 12 hydrophones between January and February 2015. The whale calls observed are of two kinds: more commonly, repetitive 4-5 s-long signals separated into two frequency bands centered at ∼20 and ∼36 Hz; less commonly, a series of ∼0.

Current medications provide only partial relief for ataxia and/or seizures, making new drugs needed. Here, we characterized zebrafish kcna1a as a model of EA1 with epilepsy and compared the efficacy of the first-line therapy carbamazepine in kcna1a zebrafish to Kcna1 rodents.
