Allograft tolerance after adult living donor liver transplantation: a case-control study.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care and Pain Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Background: To investigate the incidence and potential predictors of immune tolerance among adult living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients.
Methods: This case-control study included adult recipients who underwent LDLT between May 2004 and January 2018, with at least a 5-year follow-up after LDLT. We divided the study recipients into two groups: Group 1 (Tolerance Group) included recipients who achieved operational or prope tolerance for at least one year; Group 2 (Control Group) included recipients who did not achieve tolerance.
Long-term Double-J stenting is superior to short-term Single-J stenting in kidney transplantation.
PLoS One
January 2025
Division of Hepatobiliary and Transplantation Surgery, Department of Surgery, Erasmus MC Transplant Institute, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background And Objectives: Urological complications after kidney transplantation, due to the ureteroneocystostomy, are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and even mortality. Ureteral stents can minimize the number of complications but are not consistently used, as previous studies were retrospective in nature. We aim to prospectively determine the most effective stenting approach.

Introduction: Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is characterized by optic neuropathy and retinopathy, with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) being the most prevalent form. The primary pathogenic mechanism of POAG involves elevated intraocular pressure caused by chronic fibrosis of the trabecular meshwork (TM). Autophagy, a critical process for maintaining cellular homeostasis, has been implicated in fibrosis across various organs.

Biodosimetry is crucial for assessing ionizing radiation exposure to guide medical responses. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using fingernails can be effectively used for both occupational and public dose assessments in radiological accidents because of their accessibility and ability to retain stable radiation-induced free radicals. However, despite two decades of research, challenges remain in achieving accurate fingernail dosimetry, mainly owing to the variation in ESR signals among individuals.

Clin J Am Soc Nephrol
January 2025
Erasmus MC Transplant Institute, Department of Surgery, Division of HPB & Transplant Surgery, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: KEPs (kidney exchange programs) facilitate living donor kidney transplantations (LDKT) for patients with incompatible donors, who are typically higher risk than non-KEP patients because of higher sensitization and longer dialysis vintage. We conducted a comparative analysis of graft outcomes and risk factors for both KEP and non-KEP living donor kidney transplants.
Methods: All LDKTs performed in the Netherlands between 2004-2021 were included.
