Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the impact of liver transplant allocation policies through acuity circles (ACs) on the dynamics of race and gender concerning waitlist mortality and the receipt of deceased donor liver transplants (DDLT).
- Using data from 59,592 patients over a period before and after AC implementation, the research found no significant changes in how race and gender interacted concerning DDLT access or waitlist mortality.
- Black and Hispanic women showed persistent disparities, with lower rates of receiving DDLT and higher waitlist mortality compared to White women, while men across races fared better in these areas, highlighting ongoing inequalities in transplantation outcomes.
Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is a relatively novel, minimally invasive option for kidney transplantation. However, clarity on recipient selection in the published literature is lacking thereby significantly limiting interpretation of safety and other outcomes. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize the data on selection of RAKT recipients, compare the synthesized data to kidney transplant recipients across the USA, and explore geographical clusters of availability of RAKT.

- The study aimed to analyze a radiographic sign known as the "windshield wiper" (WSW) sign, which may indicate hip instability and issues with the acetabular suction seal in native hips.
- Researchers conducted a review of 250 patients who had periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), identifying the WSW sign in 19 hips (7.6%), all of which had hip instability requiring surgery.
- The findings suggest that the WSW sign, although rare, can be a significant predictor of hip instability, particularly in cases of dysplasia and femoral antetorsion abnormalities.
