Impact of antibody induction on the outcomes of new onset diabetes after kidney transplantation: a registry analysis.

Purpose: We conducted this observational study to examine the impact of antibody inductions administered at kidney transplant (KT) on outcomes of 5 year exposure to post-transplant diabetes (PTDM) in adult deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients (DDKTRs). We also studied the risk of PTDM associated with antibody inductions.

Methods: Using 2000-2016 Organ Procurement Transplantation Network data, we employed multivariable Cox models to determine the adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of death, and overall and death-censored graft loss (OAGL, DCGL; respectively) at the 5 year landmark period in antibody induction cohorts with and without PTDM at the 1 year post-transplant index time point.

Association of HLA mismatch and MTOR inhibitor regimens with malignancy and mortality after kidney transplantation.

Background The association of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (MTORI) with malignancies and mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) with different degrees of human leukocyte antigen mismatch (HLA-mm) at transplant has not been previously studied. Methods Our observational cohort study included 166, 256 adult KTRs in 2000-2018. Immunosuppression in the first post-transplant year were MTORIs in 13,056 (7.

Levels and source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in southwestern area of Mexico City.

Thirteen volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were quantified at three sites in southwestern Mexico City from July 2000 to February 2001. High concentrations of different VOCs were found at a Gasoline refueling station (GS), a Condominium area (CA), and at the University Center for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS). The most abundant VOCs at CA and CAS were propane, n-butane, toluene, acetylene and pentane.
