tooth transplantation can be considered a valid and predictable treatment option for rehabilitating young patients with permanent teeth loss. this study presents several cases of successful autogenous tooth transplantation with a 6-9 months follow-up. tooth auto-transplantation can be considered a reasonable option for replacing missing teeth when a donor tooth is available. the auto-transplant...

Background. Solid organ transplantation recipients have a high risk of non-melanoma skin tumors. Patients after heart are prone to higher incidence malignant tumors due intensive immunosuppressive therapy. The most common histological type is squamous cell carcinoma, followed by basal carcinoma. These more aggressive clinical course, including the frequency recurrence and metastasis, tendency m...

Background Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is an option for patients who require immediate gonagonadotoxic treatment of cancers. when there is insufficient time to conduct ovulation induction This procedure can be used in patients with genetic mutations with a high risk for premature ovarian failure.This strategy is the only option for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls or in women who...

introduction: it is an unfamiliar, frightening and stressful experience for the parents of a child who is undergoing bone marrow transplantation. it is impossible to propose an effective caring method without considering all dimensions related to such experience. objective: the purpose of this study was to describe and understand the lived experiences of parents whose children were undergoing b...

Liver or hepatic transplantation (LT) is the replacement of a diseased liver with part or whole healthy liver from another person (allograft). Human liver transplants were first performed by Thomas Starzl in the United States and Roy Calne in Cambridge, England in 1963 and 1967, respectively. Liver transplantation is a viable treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure....

OBJECTIVE Costimulation blockade has emerged as a selective nontoxic maintenance therapy in transplantation. However, these drugs must be combined with other immunomodulatory agents to ensure long-term graft survival. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Recent work has demonstrated that caspase inhibitor therapy (EP1013) prevents engraftment phase islet loss and markedly reduces the islet mass requir...

OBJECTIVE Infections have been and remain the major cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Because mucociliary clearance plays an important role in human defense mechanisms, the influence of drugs on the mucociliary epithelium of patients undergoing lung transplantation must be examined. Prednisone is the most important corticosteroid used after lung transplantation. The a...

Background—Variability of R-R interval and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) occurs predominantly at a low frequency (LF, 60.1 Hz) and a high frequency (HF, 60.25 Hz) in normal humans. Increased sympathetic drive in normal humans is associated with an increased LF component of the R-R interval and MSNA. Patients with severe heart failure have high sympathetic activity but decreased or ab...

A serious hazard to patients during orthotopic liver transplantation is hyperkalemia. Although the most frequent and hazardous hyperkalemia occurs immediately after reperfusion of the newly transplanted liver, morbid hyperkalemia could happen in the other phases during orthotopic liver transplantation. However, pre-anhepatic hyperkalemia during orthotopic liver transplantation is rare. This rep...

AIM Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease patients. Renal transplant recipients, however, have to be on lifelong therapy with immunosuppressants, which are associated with a number of adverse events (AEs). The safety profile of these immunosuppressants is not clear with respect to the Indian population. This study was conducted to find the frequency and pa...
