Article Synopsis
- Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a major cause of long-term kidney transplant failure, even with advancements in immunosuppressive therapies.
- * A case is described where late active AMR progressed to severe chronic active AMR, treated with a multidrug approach.
- * The current treatment options and understanding of AMR, including the role of donor-specific antibodies and various therapeutic strategies, highlight a need for improved guidelines based on stronger evidence.*
: In recent years, there has been a notable increase in university students experiencing severe mental illness. The transition to university life can be demanding, leading to mental health disorders. Persistent stress and anxiety can cause demotivation, difficulties with concentration, cognitive impairment, and reduced academic performance.

Despite its prevalence, akathisia remains poorly understood, with difficulties in diagnosis, patient reporting, and treatment efficacy. This research aimed to shed light on effective interventions to improve akathisia management.

- The study examines the necessity of treatment with intravenous steroids versus clinical follow-up for kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with "borderline" acute T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR).
- Researchers followed 59 patients over 12 months, comparing the groups receiving treatment (TRT) and those with simple clinical follow-up (F-UP), measuring trends in renal function through estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
- Results showed that while the TRT group initially had lower kidney function, they reached comparable eGFR levels to the F-UP group after 12 months, indicating that treatment may be beneficial in cases with indication biopsies.
High-Energy Cosmic Ray Self-Confinement Close to Extra-Galactic Sources.
Phys Rev Lett
September 2015
The ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays observed on the Earth are most likely accelerated in extra-Galactic sources. For the typical luminosities invoked for such sources, the electric current associated to the flux of cosmic rays that leave them is large. The associated plasma instabilities create magnetic fluctuations that can efficiently scatter particles.
