Effects of Genetic Polymorphism in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 Genes on Tacrolimus Dose Among Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms CYP3A4*1B and CYP3A5*3 on tacrolimus dose requirement among kidney transplant recipients.

Materials And Methods: Blood levels of tacrolimus were measured using microparticle enzyme immunoassay. Genotyping analysis utilized specific polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods for 137 kidney transplant recipients.

Introduction: Traumatic dislocation of the radial head in paediatric population is a well described injury, it is usually associated with an injury to the ulna in the Monteggia lesion (1), but can occur as an isolated injury also (2,3).

Case Report: A 4.5 year old girl presented to emergency department with her right upper limb held in pronation and flexion following isolated closed injury.

Adverse effects of tacrolimus in renal transplant patients from living donors.

Introduction: The main objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of and the risk factors for the adverse effects of tacrolimus-based immunosuppression in patients who obtained renal transplant from living donors.

Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional observational study in 154 kidney transplant patients who received grafts from living donors.

Results: Large proportion of patients had hypertension (83%) and hyperlipidemia (53%); 27% had posttransplant diabetes mellitus.

Minimally-invasive treatment of high velocity intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia.

The pilon fracture is a complex injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of minimally invasive techniques in management of these injuries. This was a prospective study of closed AO type C2 and C3 fractures managed by early (<36 hours) minimally invasive surgical intervention and physiotherapist led rehabilitation.
