The plethora of theories in the field of UX can be highly relevant to practice. This paper discusses the successful use of seven theories in the evaluation of TAPT, an experience-oriented design method. Four models of experience and one discussion of working practice and UX were used for direct evaluation; two other theories drove the methodology of TAPT’s evaluation.

results during 2014, we encountered five patients with suspicious amr or tma at our kidney transplant center. renal biopsy was performed for two of them, suggesting amr for one patient and tma for another patient. all patients were treated with plasmapheresis plus ivig. in this center, as a routine practice, the cumulative dose of 2 g/kg of ivig was divided to 300 - 400 mg/kg after each plasmap...

Trimesic acid (TMA) and alcohols were recently shown to self-assemble into a stable, two-component linear pattern at the solution/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) interface. Away from equilibrium, the TMA/alcohol self-assembled molecular network (SAMN) can coexist with pure-TMA networks. Here, we report on some novel characteristics of these non-equilibrium TMA structures, investigated...

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), not an uncommon but potentially serious complication of transplantation, occurs in 3–15% of renal transplant recipients [1,2]. De novo post-transplant TMA is mostly due to calcineurin inhibitor toxicity. Histologically, TMA is characterized by glomerular endocapillary damage with subendothelial accumulation of amorphous material. Narrowing or occlusion of capil...

BACKGROUND Tissue MicroArrays (TMAs) represent a potential high-throughput platform for the analysis and discovery of tissue biomarkers. As TMA slides are produced manually and subject to processing and sectioning artefacts, the layout of TMA cores on the final slide and subsequent digital scan (TMA digital slide) is often disturbed making it difficult to associate cores with their original pos...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study characterizes the pathologic and clinical relationships of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) to antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in renal allograft biopsies. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Consecutive renal allograft biopsies, routinely stained for C4d over a period of 51 months (n=1101), were reviewed. For comparative analysis of histology ...

Mark S. Indelicato 2012 TMA Chairman Hahn & Hessen LLP Gregory J. Fine, CAE TMA Chief Executive Officer Ronald R. Sussman 2012 TMA President Cooley LLP Certification Program Capping months of discussion, TMA amended its bylaws in April 2012 to fully integrate the Certified Turnaround Professional (CTP) program into TMA. The amendments followed agreement between the leadership of the Certificati...

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) occurs frequently after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. There are no data addressing individual susceptibility to TA-TMA. We performed a hypothesis-driven analysis of 17 candidate genes known to play a role in complement activation as part of a prospective study of TMA i...
