To stratify patients at different risk of coronary events we investigated the usefulness of a noninvasive preoperative cardiological workup. METHODS We studied 172 consecutive patients admitted to the Neurosurgical Department...

Several cohort studies have examined CVD in RTR, but none have addressed the development of congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF would hypothetically be a frequent and prognostically important event in RTR. A retrolective cohort study was, therefore, conducted in two Canadian centers to describe the in...

Reactivation may occur in individuals with compromised immunity such as renal transplant recipients. Due to the role of BKV in BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and po...
