Lower frequency routine surveillance endomyocardial biopsies after heart transplantation
In heart transplantation (HTx) patients, routine surveillance endomyocardial biopsies (rsEMB) are recommended for the detection of early cardiac allograft rejection. However, there is no consensus on the optimal frequency of rsEMB. Frequent rsEMB have shown a low diagnostic yield in the new era of potent immunosuppressive regimen. Efficacy and safety of lower frequency rsEMB have not been inves...
متن کاملInducible NO synthase expression in endomyocardial biopsies after heart transplantation in relation to the postoperative course.
OBJECTIVE Ischemia and reperfusion during heart transplantation cause damage to cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells and may initiate later acute rejection. Free oxygen radicals generated by iNOS are widely accepted to be responsible for ischemic injury. Increased iNOS expression on cardiac tissue may represent a more intensive tissue injury during ischemia and reperfusion in heart transplantat...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولPrognostic impact of microvasculopathy on survival after heart transplantation: evidence from 9713 endomyocardial biopsies.
BACKGROUND Epicardial vasculopathy has been shown to be associated with poor outcome after heart transplantation. We demonstrate that histologically proven stenotic microvasculopathy is a novel prognostic factor for long-term survival. METHODS AND RESULTS In 9713 biopsies harvested within the first posttransplantation year from 873 patients (83% male; mean age, 49.1+/-0.6 years), light micros...
متن کاملImmediate evaluation of endomyocardial biopsies for clinically suspected rejection after heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND Acute rejection may be suspected in heart transplant recipients in the setting of new onset of clinical symptoms or alterations in cardiac function. Immediate diagnosis may be obtained by performing a frozen section on endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) specimens. However, little is known about the indications for, and the diagnostic reliability of, this procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS EMB...
