Abstract Purpose Outcomes of renal-transplant-recipients with Class 3 obesity (severely obese) is extremely limited. An outcome-analysis severely- obese transplant recipients reported to UK-NHSBT-Transplant-Registry was performed. Methods We harmonized the NHSBT-UK-Data shortlist renal-transplants performed on 3-obese in UK from 2000-2019. The demographics-report and survival-analysis at 1,3 5 ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of colon cancer in lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and review screening colonoscopic findings in other recipients with CF. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients with CF transplanted at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics (January 1994 through December 2010). RESULTS Four of 70 transplant rec...

materials and methods we retrospectively evaluated 150 consecutive transplant recipients at the university of jena 12 months postoperatively for the presence and treatment of luts related to bpo. results the mean age of the patients was 59 years (range 27 - 82 years). by 12 months postoperatively, 91% (n = 137/150) were off dialysis with a functioning kidney graft. two patients died during foll...

Disseminated infection by Fusarium is a rare, frequently lethal condition in severely immunocompromised patients, including bone marrow transplant recipients. However, autologous bone marrow transplant recipients are not expected to be at high risk to develop fusariosis. We report a rare case of lethal disseminated Fusarium infection in an autologous bone marrow transplant recipient during pre-...

OBJECTIVES Pediatric renal transplant recipients are at increased risk of Epstein-Barr virus infection which may be due to the high percentage of Epstein-Barr virus seronegative recipients at the time of transplant in the pediatric age group. We aimed to assess the Epstein-Barr virus serostatus of recipients and donors and the incidence of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder in pediatri...

AIM Female cardiac transplant recipients' aerobic capacity is 60% lower than sex and age-predicted values. The effect of exercise training on restoring the impaired aerobic endurance and muscle strength in female cardiac transplant recipients is not known. This study examined the effect that aerobic and strength training have on improving aerobic endurance and muscle strength in female cardiac ...

OBJECTIVES Pneumonia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in recipients of solid-organ transplant. We aimed to determine risk factors for development of pneumonia and associated deaths in kidney transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of medical records was performed for all kidney transplant recipients from December 1988, to April 2011. The diagnosis o...

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) has been reported to be safe and the ultimate treatment option in lung transplant recipients with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the main overall cause of mortality in lung transplant recipients. However, ECP is not reimbursed in selected health jurisdictions, and reimbursement by health insurance providers is a major issue. In Switzerla...

BACKGROUND The influence of sex on alloreactivity and graft outcome after heart transplantation was evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective review of 520 consecutive recipients of a primary cardiac allograft between 1992 and 2000 at a single center was performed. The influence of sex on alloreactivity, acute rejection, transplant-related coronary artery disease, and survival was determ...

Parasitic infections are rarely documented in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. However they may be responsible for fatal complications that are only diagnosed at autopsy. Increased awareness of the possibility of parasitic diseases both in autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant patients is relevant not only for implementing preventive measures but also for performing an ea...
