Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 produces a latent infection and disease with poor prognosis. Although its transmission during solid-organ transplant and development of the disease has been described, it is not clear whether antiretroviral treatment could prevent it. We report the first kidney transplant of a donor with human T-lymphotropic virus positivity to a negative recipient who was under antiretroviral treatment without evidence of transmission.

- * Researchers compared levels of various inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α) in 40 matched lung donors from each category and evaluated their recipients regarding primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and mortality rates after transplantation.
- * Findings indicated that DBD donors had significantly higher levels of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 than DCD donors, with higher TNF-α levels related to increased PGD incidence, although short-term mortality rates
In the fall of 2021, a significant mortality event in free-ranging Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) occurred on a soccer field in southern Brazil. Approximately 130 adult southern lapwings died after showing weakness and flaccid paralysis, characterized by the inability to move or fly and drooped wings. Due to the large number of animals affected, there was concern that they had been criminally poisoned.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed.
