Lobar graft evaluation in cadaveric lobar lung redo transplantation after living-donor lobar lung transplantation: a case report.
Surg Case Rep
October 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University, 4-1 Seiryomachi, Aobaku, Sendai, Miyagi, 980-8575, Japan.
Background: Lung transplantation is a vital option for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, it faces a significant challenge due to the shortage of compatible donors, which particularly affects individuals with small chest cavities and pediatric patients. The novel approach of cadaveric lobar lung transplantation is a promising solution to alleviate the donor shortage crisis.

Division of Abdominal Transplant, Department of Surgery, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA.
Background: Liver transplantation (LT) outcomes are influenced by donor-recipient size mismatch. This study re-evaluated the impact on graft size discrepancies on survival outcomes.
Methods: Data from 53 389 adult LT recipients from the United Network for Organ Sharing database (2013-2022) were reviewed.
Trigger finger - Poor outcome of surgery associated with younger age, pain, psoriatic arthritis and atopic disease.

Article Synopsis
- Trigger finger, a common hand condition causing painful finger locking, is linked to factors like diabetes and rheumatoid diseases; this study aimed to evaluate 139 patients who had surgery for it and assess outcomes one year later.
- Findings revealed that a younger age, high preoperative pain, psoriatic arthritis, and atopic disease significantly correlated with poorer surgical outcomes; however, range of motion didn't impact results.
- Overall, better pre-surgery hand function and lower pain levels contributed to more favorable outcomes after surgery for trigger finger.
Characterization of Baseline Lung Allograft Dysfunction in Single Lung Transplant Recipients.
Transplantation
September 2024
Department of Medicine V, LMU University Hospital, LMU Munich, Comprehensive Pneumology Center (CPC), Member of the German Center of Lung Research (DZL), LMU Munich, Munich, Germany.
Background: Baseline lung allograft dysfunction (BLAD) is characterized by the failure to achieve normal baseline lung function after double lung transplantation (DLTX) and is associated with a high risk of mortality. In single lung transplant (SLTX) recipients, however, cutoff values and associated factors have not been explored. Here, we aimed to define BLAD in SLTX recipients, investigate its impact on allograft survival, and identify potential risk factors for BLAD in SLTX recipients.

In Eurotransplant, relatively more females than males die while waiting for liver transplantation, and relatively fewer females undergo transplantation. With adult liver transplantation candidates listed between 2007 and 2019 (n = 21 170), we study whether sex disparity is inherent to the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scoring system, or the indirect result of a small candidate body size limiting access to transplantation. Cox proportional hazard models are used to quantify the direct effect of sex on waitlist mortality, independent of the effect of sex through MELD scores, and the direct effect of sex on the transplantation rate, independent of the effect of sex through MELD and candidate body size.
