The importance of mental toughness on lung transplant outcomes is unknown. We performed a pilot study to assess whether pretransplant grit and resilience are associated with short-term posttransplant outcomes. We enrolled 31 lung transplant candidates, of whom 7 (26%) had greater mental toughness, defined as the upper tertile for both grit and resilience within our cohort.

Article Synopsis
- Kidney transplantation greatly improves survival and quality of life for children with end-stage kidney disease, but it comes with challenges, especially regarding long-term immunosuppressive therapy.
- Immunosuppressive drugs are crucial to prevent organ rejection but can negatively impact children's growth, puberty, and fertility, which in turn affects their psychological and social well-being.
- There is a lack of focused research on the specific effects of immunosuppression on growth, puberty, and fertility in pediatric transplant patients, leading to a need for better management strategies to address these often-overlooked complications.

Development of a Flexible Sensor-Integrated Tissue Patch to Monitor Early Organ Rejection Processes Using Impedance Spectroscopy.

Heart failure represents a primary cause of hospitalization and mortality in both developed and developing countries, often necessitating heart transplantation as the only viable recovery path. Despite advances in transplantation medicine, organ rejection remains a significant post-operative challenge, traditionally monitored through invasive endomyocardial biopsies (EMB). This study introduces a rapid prototyping approach to organ rejection monitoring via a sensor-integrated flexible patch, employing electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for the non-invasive, continuous assessment of resistive and capacitive changes indicative of tissue rejection processes.

Kidney transplantation is the best renal replacement therapy for patients with end stage kidney disease. It provides longer patient survival and better quality of life than dialysis. The clinical course after kidney transplantation could be complex and variable.
