Most adolescents are concerned about climate change. What helps them to act on their concerns? This preregistered randomized experiment tested whether adolescents' pro-environmental behavior can be promoted by framing the behavior as compatible with their autonomy motive. Dutch adolescents (N = 319, ages 12-17, 57.

- In the Netherlands, organ donation after euthanasia (DCD-V) has increased since 2012, but the outcomes of kidney transplants from DCD-V donors haven't been fully explored.
- A study aimed to compare the outcomes of DCD-V kidney transplants with those from DCD-III and brain-dead (DBD) donors, analyzing data from 2012 to 2023.
- Results showed that DCD-V kidney transplants had a significantly lower incidence of delayed graft function compared to DCD-III, suggesting DCD-V may be a viable option to expand the kidney donor pool.
Anti-HLA Class II Antibodies Are the Most Resistant to Desensitization in Crossmatch-positive Living-donor Kidney Transplantations: A Patient Series.

Background: In HLA-incompatible kidney transplantation, the efficacy of desensitization in terms of anti-HLA antibody kinetics is not well characterized. We present an overview of the course of anti-HLA antibodies throughout plasma exchange (PE) desensitization in a series of crossmatch-positive patients.
Methods: All consecutive candidates in the Dutch HLA-incompatible kidney transplantation program between November 2012 and January 2022 were included.
After transplantation self-management is essential for graft survival and optimal quality of life. To address the need for home-based support in self-management, we implemented the "SelfCare after Renal Transplantation" (SeCReT) box, containing home-monitoring equipment combined with a smartphone application that was linked to the electronic patient records. This study investigated the uptake and continuation, protocol adherence, and subjective evaluation of this home-monitoring program.
