Outcomes in Patients With Henoch-Schönlein Purpura After Kidney Transplantation: A Propensity Score Matched Study.

Aim: Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) nephritis leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in upto 3% of cases, necessitating kidney transplantation (KT). This study compared graft and patient survival outcomes between HSP and non-HSP KT recipients and identified factors associated with HSP recurrence.

Methods: Data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) were analysed for adult and paediatric KT patients listed between January 2005 and April 2021.

Intent to Leave Associated More Strongly with Workplace Belonging Than Leadership Behaviors of Supervisor in Women Health Care Professionals.

The attrition of health care professionals from institutions has historically been high, with reports of higher rates in women than men. High attrition jeopardizes the institution's financial stability, quality of patient care, and scholarly contributions to advancing health care. The disproportionate loss of women reduces the diversity of perspectives and skills needed to meet patient needs.

OpenFlume: An accessible and reproducible benchtop flume for research and education.

Open-channel flumes are an important tool in fluid mechanics research and education. However, the few commercially available small-scale flumes are generally expensive and lack complete characterization. In this work, we present an open-source, low-cost, modular benchtop laboratory flume that is designed to be accessible and reproducible.

Burden of atherogenic lipids and association with cardiac allograft vasculopathy in heart transplant recipients.

Background: Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality after heart transplantation. There are limited contemporary studies examining post-transplant lipid management and cardiometabolic health.

Objective: We study the burden of cardiometabolic derangements post transplantation and its impact on CAV in a modern cohort of heart transplant recipients.

Desmoplakin Cardiomyopathy in Pediatric Patients: A Distinct, Underrecognized Cohort of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy.

Background: cardiomyopathy is a distinct subset of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, reported primarily in adults, that has predominantly left ventricular involvement and features of myocarditis. Clinical characteristics, risk stratification, and management of pediatric patients with variants are not well known. We sought to identify phenotypic features and prognosis of pediatric patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants.
