Extended recipients but not extended donors are associated with poor outcomes following lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Extended donors (EDs) are safely used to increase the donor pool in lung transplantation (LT), but their influence in critically ill patients (extended recipients [ERs]) remains controversial. We compared LT outcomes matching optimal donors (ODs) or EDs with optimal recipients (ORs) or ERs. METHODS Three hundred and sixty-five LTs were reviewed. ED criteria: age >55, PaO2/FiO2 < 35...
متن کاملOverweight or obese BMI is associated with earlier, but not later survival after common acute illnesses

METHODS Observational study of U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS) participants with federal health insurance (fee-for-service Medicare) coverage, hospitalized with congestive heart failure (N = 4287), pneumonia (N = 4182), or...
متن کاملRecreational marijuana use is not associated with worse outcomes after renal transplantation.
As marijuana (MJ) legalization is increasing, kidney transplant programs must develop listing criteria for marijuana users. However, no data exist on the effect of MJ on kidney allograft outcomes, and there is no consensus on whether MJ use should be a contraindication to transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed 1225 kidney recipients from 2008 to 2013. Marijuana use was defined by positive...
متن کاملInterspinous bursitis is common in polymyalgia rheumatica, but is not associated with spinal pain
INTRODUCTION Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a common inflammatory disease in older people characterized by shoulder and/or pelvic girdle, and cervical and, occasionally, lumbar pain. Interspinous bursitis has been suggested as a potential cause of spinal symptoms. We evaluated, by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography integrated with computed tomography (PET/CT), the verte...
متن کاملResponse to ‘Interspinous bursitis is common in polymyalgia rheumatica, but is not associated with spinal pain’
In a recent contribution to this journal,Camellino and colleagues [1] reported that asymptomatic inflammation of the interspinous bursas is a common occurrence in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. Thus, they confirm the findings of three other studies which found florid inflammation (which was felt to be symptomatic) at these sites between the spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae. Why wo...
