A heart transplant center experience with basiliximab induction strategies: A double edged sword?

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Background The use of induction immunosuppression for heart transplantation (HT) is debated given the uncertain benefit and potential risks of infection and malignancy. Methods This is a retrospective single‐center analysis of 475 consecutive HT recipients from 2003 to 2020 grouped by use of induction with basiliximab group (BG) and the no ...

Advances in the Use of Biologics and Biomaterials toward the Improvement of Pancreatic Islet Graft Survival in Type 1 Diabetes

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2024.
Although islet transplantation has the potential to serve as a curative treatment for type 1 diabetes, there are many hurdles to achieving long‐term islet graft survival. This review discusses the recent advances in strategies to improve islet survival function using exogenous compounds and conformal coatings as a promising tool for improving islet ...

Association of individual comorbidities with outcomes in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation from unrelated adult donors versus unrelated cord blood: A study on behalf of the Donor/Source and Transplant Complications Working Groups of the Japanese Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 263-273, February 2024.
Abstract We retrospectively evaluated the effect of 17 individual comorbidities, defined by the hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)‐specific comorbidity index, on non‐relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) in 9531 patients aged between 16 and 70 years who underwent their first allogeneic HCT from 8/8 and 7/8 allele‐matched unrelated ...

Single‐Center Outcomes of Epstein–Barr Virus DNAemia in Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Journal of Transplantation, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. Immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation (SOT) increases the risk of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia, which may herald development of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). Few studies have characterized the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impact of EBV DNAemia in adult SOT recipients (SOTR). Methods.

Fulminant Myocarditis with SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection: A Narrative Review from the Case Studies

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
One of the severe complications of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection is myocarditis. However, the characteristics of fulminant myocarditis with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection are still unclear. We systematically reviewed the previously reported cases of fulminant myocarditis associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection from ...

Cytokine Release Syndrome After CAR T‐Cell Therapy in a 35‐Year‐Old Patient With Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia and Cytomegalovirus Viremia

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background: The risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with infections prior to chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR T‐cell) therapy represents an important and underreported event. Patients with active infections needing prompt CAR T‐cell therapy to treat aggressive hematologic malignancies remain a clinical challenge.
