Albumin effect on hemorheological parameters in patients with liver transplant.

Background: Liver transplantation is a life-saving treatment in end-stage liver failure. Hemorheological features as blood fluidity and red blood cell aggregation may alter effective tissue perfusion, graft function and hemodynamic variables.

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate effect of albumin infusion on red blood cell deformability and aggregation, blood viscosity and hemodynamics in liver transplant patients.

Birth of a Healthy Baby 9 Years After a Surgically Successful Deceased Donor Uterus Transplant.

Objective: To describe surgical procedures, previous failed pregnancies, methods for overcoming pregnancy failure and, most importantly, birth of a healthy infant, in a uterus transplantation from a deceased donor.

Background: Majority of uterus transplants have involved live donors, but several advantages make deceased donor transplantation a practicable option, principally by eliminating surgical risks to the live donor.

Methods: Uterus transplantation from a deceased donor was performed in September 2011 in Turkey.

Serum Levels of S100β, Neuron-Specific Enolase, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein in Kidney Transplant Recipients and Donors: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in serum levels of S100β, neuron-specific enolase, glial fibrillary acidic protein in living donors and recipients after kidney transplantation.

Methods: We enrolled 56 patients into the study. Of these, 27 underwent donor nephrectomy (group D), and the remaining 29 underwent kidney transplantation (recipient, group R).

Effect of post-perfusion hyperoxemia on early graft function in renal transplant recipients: a retrospective observational cohort study.

Background: The effects of hyperoxemia on the transplanted grafts arouse interest nowadays, particularly intraoperative hyperoxemia, on transplant kidney function and survival in the 1-year post-operative period.

Aims: We aimed to investigate the effect of post-perfusion (5 min after perfusion) hyperoxemia on early graft function and survival in renal transplant recipients.

Methods: Two hundred forty-seven living donor kidney transplant recipients were included in the study.

The relevance between graft preservation solutions and QTc interval during living donor kidney transplantation and rat cardiomyocytes sampling.

Background: The purpose of the retrospective study was to identify the impacts of different solutions on the electrocardiogram and cardiovascular changes. Moreover, the differences between these solutions were analyzed by examining their impacts on rat ventricular cardiomyocytes.

Methods: Eighty renal transplant patients were evaluated retrospectively.
