Cocoon Syndrome as a Cause of Intestinal Failure and Indication for Combined Liver–Intestine–Kidney Transplantation

Intestinal Failure
Background: Cocoon Syndrome, or sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is a rare but severe complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis. It can lead to progressive fibrotic encapsulation of the intestines, causing intestinal obstruction due to a fibrous

Characterizing the gut microbiome in trauma: significant changes in microbial diversity occur early after severe injury. [PDF]

, 2017
Background:Recent studies have demonstrated the vital influence of commensal microbial communities on human health. The central role of the gut in the response to injury is well described; however, no prior studies have used culture-independent profiling

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Anthropometrics, body composition, sarcopenia, and frailty in intestinal transplantation: A literature review and commentary

Intestinal Failure
Frailty and sarcopenia are increasingly incorporated in the evaluation of solid organ transplant candidates. There can be adverse outcomes both pre- and post-transplant amongst patients identified as frail. Nutritional deficiencies and chronic illness in

Droplet Triboelectrification on Liquid‐Like Polymer Brushes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work investigates the triboelectrification of water droplets on polymer brush‐coated surfaces exhibiting minimal contact line pinning. Such surfaces enable the systematic study of electrode patterning and controlled changes in droplet contact area.

Seven Cases of Living Parental Small Bowel Transplantation Donors: Perioperative Care in 3D Laparoscopic Live Donor Ileal Resection

Transplantation Direct
Background. Although small bowel transplantation is generally a highly effective treatment for patients with irreversible intestinal failure, and it is the only viable recourse for the restoration of intestinal function, the quantity of individuals ...

Chimerism after organ transplantation [PDF]

, 1997
Recent evidence suggests that passenger leukocytes migrate after organ transplantation and produce persistent chimerism, which is essential for sustained survival of the allograft.

Oral Dosed Organo‐Silica Nanoparticles Restore Glucose Homeostasis and β‐Cell Function in Diabetes Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...

Calicivirus Enteritis in an Intestinal Transplant Recipient

American Journal of Transplantation, 2003
Protracted diarrhea of uncertain etiology is a significant problem following intestinal transplantation. We report an infant who developed severe secretory diarrhea 178 days after intestinal transplantation that persisted for more than 120 days. Repeated

Reversibility of lymphomas and lymphoproliferative lesions developing under cyclosporin-steroid therapy [PDF]

, 1984
Post-transplant lymphomas or other lymphoproliferative lesions, which were usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus infections, developed in 8, 4, 3, and 2 recipients, respectively, of cadaveric kidney, liver, heart, and heart-lung homografts ...
