Metabolic Syndrome as a Risk Factor for Osteoarthritis
Metabolic syndrome refers to a set of conditions that include high blood pressure, increased insulin level in the blood, the accumulation of the excess fat around the abdomen, and increased blood lipids. In metabolic syndrome, the vast majority of these conditions are simultaneously present, and the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes rises. Besides, osteoarthritis or degen...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus disease as a risk factor for graft loss and death after orthotopic liver transplantation.
To determine whether cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is an independent risk factor for graft loss and death after orthotopic liver transplantation, we performed a 3-year follow-up study of 143 consecutive liver transplant recipients and six patients who underwent retransplantation. Thirty-seven patients (25%) had had CMV disease and were alive after treatment. Fifty-two deaths and eight graft los...
متن کاملIs Cholesteatoma a Risk Factor for Graft Success Rate in Chronic Otitis Media Surgery?
Introduction: In developing countries, chronic otitis media (COM) and cholesteatoma are relatively prevalent. Within the field of otology, COM surgery remains one of the most common surgical treatments. Most recent studies evaluating the potential prognostic factors in COM surgery have addressed graft success rate and types of middle ear and mastoid pathology. There has been much controversy a...
متن کاملDetection of C3d-binding donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies at diagnosis of humoral rejection predicts renal graft loss.
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a major cause of kidney graft loss, yet assessment of individual risk at diagnosis is impeded by the lack of a reliable prognosis assay. Here, we tested whether the capacity of anti-HLA antibodies to bind complement components allows accurate risk stratification at the time of AMR diagnosis. Among 938 kidney transplant recipients for whom a graft biopsy was ...
متن کاملPersistent BK viremia does not increase intermediate-term graft loss but is associated with de novo donor-specific antibodies.
There are limited data regarding intermediate-term outcomes in patients with persistent BK viremia. Other viral infections have been implicated in the development of allosensitization through heterologous immunity, but the relationship between BK viremia and donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) is unexplored. In 2008, we initiated routine post-transplant BK viremia and DSA screening at our center; ...
