Article Synopsis
- - A 7-year-old child developed dengue symptoms after receiving the Qdenga vaccine, with initial tests showing negative results but later confirming a DENV4 infection.
- - Advanced sequencing techniques revealed the presence of viral RNA from both DENV2 and DENV4, identified as strains derived from the vaccine rather than wild-type viruses.
- - This case highlights the importance of accurate diagnostic practices in vaccinated individuals, emphasizing the need for better understanding of vaccine-induced viremia to enhance dengue surveillance and public health strategies.
A living donor (LD) kidney transplant is the best treatment for kidney failure, but LDs safety is paramount. We sought to evaluate our LDs cohort's longitudinal changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We retrospectively studied 320 LDs submitted to nephrectomy between 1998 and 2020.

We analyzed the signals mainly in the frequency domain through the multitaper method to extract some spectral characteristics of the signals that would have been out of reach through the usual FFT approach. The power spectral density of the signals carries information about the processes that generated them, allowing its correlation with their source origin and type, either natural or anthropogenic.

Despite advances in surgical techniques, donor and recipient selection, and immunosuppressive therapies, SPKT remains a complex procedure with associated surgical complications and adverse consequences. We conducted a retrospective study that included 263 SPKT procedures performed between May 2000, and December 2022.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) is the best treatment for ESRD. A prediction tool based on clinical and demographic data available pre-KT was developed in a Norwegian cohort with three different models to predict graft loss, recipient death, and donor candidate's risk of death, the iPREDICTLIVING tool. No external validations are yet available.
