Article Abstract
A 12-year-old child with terminal ischemic heart disease as a result of homozygotous familial type IIa hypercholesterolemia received an orthotopic heart transplant and, 21 days later, an orthotopic liver transplant. Six months after heart transplantation, the patient is asymptomatic and evidences normal liver function and cholesterol levels; there are no signs of heart rejection. To our knowledge, this is the first instance of two-step heart-liver transplantation with organs from different donors.

Objective: Type1Screen offers islet autoantibody testing to Australians with a family history of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with the dual aims of preventing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and enabling use of disease-modifying therapy. We describe screening and monitoring outcomes 2 years after implementing in-home capillary blood spot sampling.
Research Design And Methods: Data from 2,064 participants who registered between July 2022 and June 2024 were analyzed: 1,507 and 557 chose blood spot and venipuncture screening respectively.

is a pathogen that causes sporadic cases and outbreaks of diarrhea. The main virulence feature of this bacterium is the attaching and effacing (AE) lesion formation on infected intestinal epithelial cells, which is characterized by the formation of pedestal-like structures that are rich in F-actin. The Brazilian 1551-2 strain can recruit F-actin using both the Nck-dependent and the Nck-independent pathways, the latter of which uses an adaptor protein named Tir-cytoskeleton coupling protein (TccP/EspF).
