The effect of perioperative erythropoietin‐stimulating agents and intravenous iron on patient outcomes following solid organ transplantation: A systematic review

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Solid organ transplant is associated with high rates of anaemia and transfusion, but there is little comparative data on interventions such as erythropoietin‐stimulating agents (ESAs) and intravenous (IV) iron. We conducted a systematic review examining the association of ESAs and IV iron with outcomes in adults undergoing solid organ ...

Neuromuscular and neuromechanical assessments of respiratory performance in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy across the natural history of disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe life‐limiting X‐linked neuromuscular disorder characterised by progressive skeletal muscle degeneration and respiratory failure. The mdx mouse, lacking dystrophin, is the most widely used preclinical model of DMD, yet the trajectory of respiratory dysfunction in this model remains incompletely ...
