Melioidosis is caused by percutaneous inoculation or inhalation of , predominantly among individuals with risk factors (diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, etc.) from endemic areas of South Asia, Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. While some patients present acutely with sepsis and multi-organ failure, others present with a subacute to chronic course characterised by abscess formation.

Deficits in Pre- and Post-transplant Functional, Motor, and Cognitive Deficits Associated With Graft Failure and Mortality in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients.

Background: Pretransplant functional, motor, cognitive, and academic deficits are common in pediatric patients requiring heart transplantation (HT); some persist post-HT. We assessed the association between these quality of life (QoL) deficits and post-HT outcomes.

Methods: Using SRTR data 2008-2023, we evaluated the functional, motor, cognitive, and academic status of pediatric HT recipients from listing to 15 years post-HT.
