The frequency of epstein-barr virus infection and associated lymphoproliferative syndrome after transplantation and its manifestations in children [PDF]
Twenty cases of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative syndrome (LPS), defined by the presence of EBV nuclear antigen and/or EBV DNA in tissues, were diagnosed in 1467 transplant recipients in Pittsburgh from 1981—1985.

Cardiac biopsies are being undertaken with increased frequency in recent years. The present review concentrates mainly upon the role of this technique in the more accurate classification and diagnosis of the cardiomyopathies. In addition the quality of biopsy material and the degree to which it represents the overall cardiac pathological changes are ...

Ischemic Stroke in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: A Clinicopathologic Study of Two Cases
ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke is a rare complication of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Manifestations of stroke in HES have been described in the radiologic literature; however the pathologic characterization of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in HES is limited.

Enhanced Immunomodulation in Inflammatory Environments Favors Human Cardiac Mesenchymal Stromal-Like Cells for Allogeneic Cell Therapies [PDF]
Rising numbers of patients with cardiovascular diseases and limited availability of donor hearts require new and improved therapy strategies. Human atrial appendage-derived cells (hAACs) are promising candidates for an allogeneic cell-based treatment. In

Gene expression profiling to study racial differences after heart transplantation. [PDF]
BackgroundThe basis for increased mortality after heart transplantation in African Americans and other non-Caucasian racial groups is poorly defined. We hypothesized that increased risk of adverse events is driven by biologic factors.

Loeffler’s Endocarditis in a patient with a new diagnosed Churg-Strauss syndrome(CSS):A Case Report
Background: Loeffler’s endocarditis is a rare disease, caused by endocardial involvement of esosinophils, which damages the heart and leads to endomyocardial fibrosis with consequent restrictive cardiomyopathy, mural thrombi or valvular dysfunction.

Three-Dimensional Self-Navigated T2 Mapping for the Detection of Acute Cellular Rejection After Orthotopic Heart Transplantation. [PDF]
T2 mapping is a magnetic resonance imaging technique measuring T2 relaxation time, which increases with the myocardial tissue water content. Myocardial edema is a component of acute cellular rejection (ACR) after heart transplantation.
