Bloodstream infection following 217 consecutive systemic-enteric drained pancreas transplants
BACKGROUND Combined kidney pancreas transplantation (PTx) evolved as excellent treatment for diabetic nephropathy. Infections remain common and serious complications. METHODS 217 consecutive enteric drained PTxs performed from 1997 to 2004 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to bloodstream infection. Immunosuppression consisted of antithymocyteglobuline induction, tacrolimus, mycophenol...
متن کاملCXCL10 Gene Expression in the Lung Tissue of Sulfur Mustard-Exposed Patients with Long-Term Pulmonary Complications
Aims: Mustard gas is an alkalizing substance that can lead to damage to DNA and intracellular enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of CXCL10 in chemically-injured veterans’ lung tissue. Materials & Methods: This case-control study was done on 16 lung paraffin blocks of individuals exposed to mustard gas and 7 lungs paraffin blocks not-exposed people as...
متن کاملLong-term outcome of third kidney transplants.
Third renal transplants are historically associated with a poor prognosis. An analysis was undertaken to assess long-term outcomes of third grafts and identify variables associated with long-term graft survival. Fifty-six third grafts performed between 1974 and 2005 were compared to control groups of 1965 primary and 301 second grafts performed during the same period. Kaplan-Meier analysis show...
متن کاملProteinuria- Long Term Complications
Patients with diabetes or hypertension with microalbuminuria (MA)/ proteinuria are prone to CV risk and progressive renal damage. This risk increases progressively with increasing levels of proteinuria. MA generally increases the relative risk of CV mortality by 1.3 and macroproteinuria by 2.4. 10-20% of hypertensive, 30-40% of diabetics and 5-7% of healthy population has MA. The CV risk exists...
متن کاملFactors affecting long term survival following resection for lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Survival following pulmonary resection for primary lung cancer is considered to be principally dependent on the clinical stage of the disease. A study was undertaken to verify this and to identify other contributing factors. METHODS The case records of all patients who underwent surgery for lung cancer over a two year period between January 1987 and December 1988 were reviewed retr...
