We present an evidence-based review of post-trauma interventions used to prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Literature search of PubMed from 1988 to March 2016 using keywords "Early Intervention AND Prevention of PTSD" yielded 142 articles, of which 52 intervention studies and 6 meta-analyses were included in our review. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and modified prolonged exposure delivered within weeks of a potentially traumatic event for people showing signs of distress have the most evidence in the treatment of acute stress and early PTSD symptoms, and the prevention of PTSD.

However, Standard Criteria Donors (SCD) may also be under-utilized, some centers discarding kidneys with serum creatinine (S.Cr) >2.

In our earlier studies, cold storage caused necrosis of human proximal tubular epithelial (RPTE) cells, whereas apoptosis was prominent during rewarming. An intriguing finding was the pronounced swelling of the mitochondria in the cold, which promoted us to further characterize its role in rewarming-associated apoptosis.
