Acute Rejection of the Allografted Human Heart [PDF]
Abstract Twenty-six patients have received heart transplants at Stanford University Medical Center. Of these, 11 were alive at six months (42%), 10 at twelve and eighteen months (37%), and 7 at twenty-four months (26%). Sixty episodes of acute allograft rejection were diagnosed in 21 patients.

Interleukin-2 receptor antagonists for pediatric liver transplant recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies [PDF]
Interleukin-2 receptor antagonists (IL-2RA) are frequently used as induction therapy in liver transplant recipients to decrease the risk of acute rejection while allowing the reduction of concomitant immunosuppression. The exact association with the use of IL-2RA however is uncertain.

Despite induction immunosuppression and the use of aggressive maintenance immunosuppressive regimens, acute allograft rejection following lung transplantation is still a problem with important diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. As well as causing early graft loss and mortality, acute rejection also initiates the chronic alloimmune responses and ...

Pathways to Acute Humoral Rejection [PDF]
Acute humoral rejection, also known as acute vascular rejection, is a devastating condition of organ transplants and a major barrier to clinical application of organ xenotransplantation. Although initiation of acute humoral or vascular rejection is generally linked to the action of antibodies and complement on the graft, other factors such as ischemia,

Reproducibility and Evolution of Diffusion MRI Measurements within the Cervical Spinal Cord in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
In Multiple Sclerosis (MS), there is a large discrepancy between the clinical observations and how the pathology is exhibited on brain images, this is known as the clinical-radiological paradox (CRP). One of the hypotheses is that the clinical deficit may be more related to the spinal cord damage than the number or location of lesions in the brain ...

The rejection that defies anti-rejection drugs. Chronic vascular rejection (allograft vasculopathy): The role of terminology and linguistic relativity [PDF]
Solid organ transplantation has by now become a common medical procedure. Owing to the introduction of new immunosuppressive drugs, the allograft loss due to acute rejection has been reduced significantly over time. Tragically, the number of donor organs lost due to allograft vasculopathy (AV), generally named chronic vascular rejection or chronic ...

Urinary fractalkine is a marker of acute rejection [PDF]
Chemokines and their receptors play an important role in the development of allograft rejection through directing mononuclear cell invasion of the graft. To study whether chemokine assays in the urine could prove to be predictive of acute rejection, we measured the urinary excretion of several chemokines, including fractalkine, chemokine monokine ...

Spectra of conditionalization and typicality in the multiverse [PDF]
An approach to testing theories describing a multiverse, that has gained interest of late, involves comparing theory-generated probability distributions over observables with their experimentally measured values. It is likely that such distributions, were we indeed able to calculate them unambiguously, will assign low probabilities to any such ...

The Biology of Acute Transplant Rejection
An intriguing and increasingly understood facet of immune responses is the ability of a recipient to destroy a foreign tissue or organ graft. The phenomenon of acute rejection of an allograft involves a series of complex and inter-related cellular and humoral events, culminating in graft death.
