Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major prognosis-limiting factor in patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation (HT). Due to the diffuse involvement of the coronary tree, CAV lesions are often not amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), leaving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and retransplantation as primary revascularization options. : The latest guidelines from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) recognize CABG as a viable option but with a downgraded strength of recommendation.

Recent Advances and Future Directions in Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal.

J Clin Med

December 2024

Department of Adult Critical Care, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's Health Partners, London SE1 9RT, UK.

Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCOR) is an emerging technique designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO) levels in venous blood while enabling lung-protective ventilation or alleviating the work of breathing. Unlike high-flow extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), ECCOR operates at lower blood flows (0.4-1.

Engineered Cellular Therapies for the Treatment of Thoracic Cancers.

Cancers (Basel)

December 2024

Division of Hematology, Oncology, and Transplantation, Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA.

Thoracic malignancies (lung cancers and malignant pleural mesothelioma) are prevalent worldwide and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Effective treatments are needed for patients with advanced disease. Cell therapies are a promising approach to the treatment of advanced cancers that make use of immune effector cells that have the ability to mediate antitumor immune responses.

Methods and Models for Studying in Respiratory Infections.

Int J Mol Sci

December 2024

Anatomy and Physiopathology Division, Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, University of Brescia, 25123 Brescia, Italy.

Respiratory infections, including tuberculosis, constitute a major global health challenge. Tuberculosis (TB), caused by (Mtb), remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. The disease's complexity is attributed to Mtb's capacity to persist in latent states, evade host immune defenses, and develop resistance to antimicrobial treatments, posing significant challenges for diagnosis and therapy.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) poses significant risks for solid organ transplant recipients, who have atypical but poorly characterized immune responses to infection. We aim to understand the host immunologic and microbial features of COVID-19 in transplant recipients by leveraging a prospective multicenter cohort of 86 transplant recipients age- and sex-matched with 172 non-transplant controls. We find that transplant recipients have higher nasal SARS-CoV-2 viral abundance and impaired viral clearance, and lower anti-spike IgG levels.
