BACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is performed on a 24/7 schedule to minimize organ ischemic time. Recent preclinical studies demonstrated superior graft preservation at 10°C compared with storage in an ice cooler (gold standard). METHODS: In this prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized clinical trial, we studied transplants from donors with overnight cross-clamp times (6:00 p.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of donor lungs from extended criteria after brain death (DBD) within the context of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) lung transplants.
- It involves a retrospective chart review from a hospital to compare outcomes between standard and extended criteria donor lungs over a six-year period.
- Results indicate that using extended criteria lungs does not negatively impact lung transplant outcomes, including graft dysfunction rates and survival, suggesting a potential increase in available donor organs.
Lately, the integration of two-dimensional materials into semiconductor devices has allowed the modification of their effective index by simply applying a modest voltage (between 0 and 3 volts). In this work, we present a device composed of two evanescently coupled silicon microring resonators where both rings have a graphene layer on top. This design is aimed to produce frequency combs with transmission characteristics controlled upon voltage application to the graphene layer.
