Introduction: An increasing number of elderly patients are undergoing either primary kidney transplantation (PrKT) or retransplantation (ReKT).
Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study of all deceased donor KTs (DDKTs) performed in elderly patients (age ≥65 years).
Results: From December 2004 through August 2022, we performed 668 DDKTs in elderly patients including 39 ReKTs and 629 PrKTs. Mean donor age was lower in the ReKT group (44 ± 17 ReKT vs. 54 ± 13 years PrKT), as was KDPI (58 ± 24 vs. 74 ± 21% PrKT, both p < 0.05). A total of 44% of ReKT patients had a cPRA level above 50% compared to 10.3% PrKT (p < 0.0001). Rates were comparable between groups for primary nonfunction (2.6% ReKT vs. 3.7% PrKT) and delayed graft function (23% ReKT vs. 32% PrKT, p = 0.29). Five-year patient (55.2% ReKT vs. 74.3% PrKT, p = 0.03) and graft survival rates (GSRs, 55.2% ReKT vs. 64.7% PrKT, p = 0.32) were higher in the PrKT group. Death with functioning graft (DWFG) occurred in 59% of ReKT versus 37.4% of PrKT patients (p = 0.01) and accounted for 79.3% ReKT and 65.3% PrKT graft losses. Death-censored GSRs were not different (62.5% ReKT vs. 68.3% PrKT, p = 0.6).
Conclusions: Elderly recipients of deceased donor ReKTs have a higher risk of DWFG, but death-censored outcomes are comparable to age-matched PrKT recipients.

March 2025
Division of Cardiac Surgery, CardioVascular Center, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: This study aims to analyze the patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and contemporary trends concerning type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in previous recipients of abdominal solid organ transplantation (ASOT) in the United States.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample was queried to identify all patients aged ≥18 with TAAD and a history of ASOT (TAAD-ASOT) between 2002 and 2015Q3 using ICD-9 diagnosis and procedure codes. Baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared between TAAD-ASOT patients and TAAD patients without a history of ASOT (TAAD-non-ASOT).

Background: Telenursing has become prevalent in providing care to diverse populations experiencing different health conditions both in Israel and globally. The nurse-patient relationship aims to improve the condition of individuals requiring health services.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate nursing graduates' skills and knowledge regarding remote nursing care prior to and following a simulation-based telenursing training program in an undergraduate nursing degree.
Genetic factors contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome and subsequent arterial hypertension (AH). The study of the T786C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene in arterial hypertension is important as its correlation with adipokine imbalance is a novelty area to find associations between hypertension development, obesity, and heredity. The purpose of the current study was to investigate serum adipokines levels, depending on the T786C polymorphism of the eNOS in patients with arterial hypertension.
