Living safely after organ transplantation starts before transplant and continues after transplant. To minimize a solid organ transplant (SOT) recipient's risk for infection and risk for injury, it is important to plan for numerous potential exposures after transplant. These include potential exposure to others with viral or bacterial illness, potential exposure to food and water sources, participation in recreational activities, resuming sexual activity, living with pets, and opportunities for travel, especially internationally. Addressing these risks head-on ensures that an SOT recipient and their providers can plan accordingly and anticipate measures that will assist with maintaining such health.

Objective: Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients carry a higher incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) with more aggressive features and worse outcomes compared to immunocompetent (IC) patients. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network advocates peripheral and deep en-face margin assessment such as Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for very-high-risk cSCC. We aim to assess the efficacy of MMS in the treatment of SOT immunosuppressed head and neck (HN) cSCC patients.

Background: Multiple outpatient therapies have been developed for COVID-19 in high-risk individuals, but solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients were not well represented in controlled clinical trials. To date, few comparative studies have evaluated outcomes between outpatient therapies in this population.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using de-identified administrative claims data from OptumLabs Data Warehouse.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains among the leading complications after solid organ transplantation (SOT). Large international surveys mainly focused on high-income countries, detected considerable variability in the management of this infection after SOT. Limited data are available from resource-limited settings.

Unlabelled: Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a distinctive and potentially fatal form of hepatic injury that mainly occurs after hematopoietic-stem cell transplantation but also due to many other conditions including drug or toxin exposure. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionised the treatment of many solid organ malignancies. Furthermore, as their use has become more widespread, rare toxicities have emerged.

Background: Testicular seminoma is the most common malignant tumor of the testis. It occurs at a rate of 5 per 100 000 men, primarily between the ages of 15 to 34. While seminomas typically occur in the testis, other primary sites include the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum, or other extra-gonadal sites.
