Introduction: The demographics of donor and recipient candidates for kidney transplantation (KT) have substantially changed. Recipients tend to be older and polymorbid and KT to suboptimal recipients is associated with delayed graft function (DGF), prolonged hospitalization, inferior long-term allograft function, and poorer patient survival. In parallel, donors are also older, suffer from several comorbidities, and donations coming from circulatory death (DCD) predominate, which in turn leads to early and late complications. However, it is unclear how donor and recipient risk factors interact.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we assess the impact of a KT from suboptimal donors to suboptimal recipients. We focused on: 1) DGF; 2) hospital stay and number of dialysis days after KT and 3) allograft function at 12 months.
Results And Discussion: Among the 369 KT included, the overall DGF rate was 25% ( = 92) and median time from reperfusion to DGF resolution was 7.8 days (IQR: 3.0-13.8 days). Overall, patients received four dialysis sessions (IQR: 2-8). The combination of pre-KT anuria (<200 ml/24 h, 32%) and DCD procurement (14%) was significantly associated with DGF, length of hospital stay, and severe perioperative complications, predominantly in recipients 50 years and older.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem. Adherence to intensive insulin therapy is necessary to achieve better glycemic control in types 1 and 2 DM. This study aimed to evaluate the extent of adherence to insulin therapy, its predictors and to identify barriers to its adherence.

Despite the availability of screening services, the rate of diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening continues to be suboptimal in Australia, necessitating improvement. However, improving DR screening rates requires a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing adherence to the screening recommendations. This study aimed to explore the factors that influence adherence to DR screening among people with diabetes attending a community screening clinic in Australia.

Introduction: Posaconazole is recommended for prophylaxis in pediatric immunocompromised patients. Due to its variability in bioavailability and drug-to-drug interactions, EBMT recommends regimens based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM).
Materials And Methods: In total, 171 oncohematological pediatric patients on posaconazole prophylaxis were included.

Graph anomaly detection is crucial in many high-impact applications across diverse fields. In anomaly detection tasks, collecting plenty of annotated data tends to be costly and laborious. As a result, few-shot learning has been explored to address the issue by requiring only a few labeled samples to achieve good performance.

The adult human spinal cord harbors diverse populations of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) essential for neuroregeneration and central nervous system repair. While induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NSPCs offer significant therapeutic potential, understanding their molecular and functional alignment with bona fide spinal cord NSPCs is crucial for developing autologous cell therapies that enhance spinal cord regeneration and minimize immune rejection. In this study, we present the first direct transcriptomic and functional comparison of syngeneic adult human NSPC populations, including bona fide spinal cord NSPCs and iPSC-derived NSPCs regionalized to the spinal cord (iPSC-SC) and forebrain (iPSC-Br).
