Efficiency in Lung Transplant Allocation Strategies [PDF]
Currently in the United States, lung transplantations are allocated to candidates according to the candidates' Lung Allocation Score (LAS). The LAS is an ad-hoc ranking system for patients' priorities of transplantation. The goal of this study is to develop a framework for improving patients' life expectancy over the LAS based on a comprehensive ...

This study reports the upregulation of ELMO1 and GPR141 in human Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) corneal endothelium and ultraviolet A‐induced FECD mice model. A genetic association of an intergenic single nucleotide polymorphism rs918980 present between both genes is observed with FECD in the Indian population.
