Donor/recipient ascending aortic diameter ratio as a novel potential metric for donor selection and improved clinical outcomes in heart transplantation: a propensity score-matched study [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 BackgroundDonor/recipient size matching is paramount in heart transplantation. Body weight, height, body mass index, body surface area, and predicted heart mass (PHM) ratios are generally used in size matching.

An Immunologic Compatibility Testing Was Not Useful for Donor Selection in Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Ulcerative Colitis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective procedure against Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), with promising but still suboptimal performance in other diseases, such as ulcerative colitis (UC). The recipient’s mucosal immune response
