Despite the fact that a surgical procedure may have been performed for the appropriate indication and in a technically perfect manner, patients are threatened by perioperative organ injury. For example, stroke, myocardial infarction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute kidney injury, or acute gut injury are among the most common causes for morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. In...

Invasive mold infections represent an increasing source of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Whereas there is a large literature regarding invasive molds infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplants, data in solid organ transplants are scarcer. In this comprehensive review, we focused on invasive mold infection in the specific population of solid organ transplan...

WE HAVE SHOWN previously that combined but not discrete transient perioperative blockade of CD28!B7 and CD40/gp39 costimulatory pathways results in indefinite prolongation of islet allograft survival.! Similar observations have also been made in the realm of solid organ transplantation (TX).2 Additionally, the use of both rhCTLA4-Ig and anti-gp39 mAb (but not alone) have also resulted in abroga...

However, donor female gender has been suggested as a significant risk factor for mortality in recipients after solid organ transplantation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early mortality (30 days) in LT recipients according to the donor gender (male or fe...
