Objectives: The implantable Doppler probe can monitor the patency of vascular anastomosis, thereby facilitating early detection of vascular thrombosis critical to reducing graft loss. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of this technology compared with standard clinical care in reducing thrombosis-related graft loss and the requirement for color duplex ultrasonography in the first 24 hours postoperatively by a medical literature search of the application of this technology in kidney transplantation.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic search (January 15, 2024) of a wide range of experimental and observational studies that comprised kidney transplant recipients monitored with blood flow sensing technology (intervention group) and standard clinical care (control group).

Objectives: Vascular thrombosis is a disastrous postoperative complication resulting in the loss of 3.5% to 5.7% of all kidney transplants.

Infection of immunosuppressed transplant patients with the human γ-herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), an often fatal complication. Immunosuppressed miniature pigs infected with γ-herpesvirus porcine lymphotropic herpesvirus 1 (PLHV1) develop a similar disease, identifying pigs as a potential preclinical model for PTLD in humans. BILF1 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) encoded by EBV with constitutive activity linked to tumorigenesis and immunoevasive function downregulating MHC-I.

Background: Tenancy sustainment-maintenance of a tenancy to avoid a premature end of tenure-is fundamental to prevention of homelessness. Understanding what enables a successful tenancy is essential in informing interventions designed to support people in leaving homelessness.
Objectives: To conduct a systematic review identifying determinants associated with tenancy sustainment following homelessness.
