Lessons Learned About the Education Needs of Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Mixed-Method Study

Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease
Background: Much of the literature on kidney transplant education focuses on educating recipients prior to transplant or in the early postoperative period. It is unknown whether the information provided is meaningful to patients or whether the importance

Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome with transverse testicular ectopia: A case report

Urology Case Reports, 2019
Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare entity of internal male pseudohermaphroditism. Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is the condition in which one testis moves to the other side and both testes pass the same inguinal canal.

A comparison of the effects of oral vs. intravenous hydration on subclinical acute kidney injury: a protocol of a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Optimal treatment for established renal failure is living donor kidney transplantation. However this pathway exposes healthy individuals to significant reduction in nephron mass via major surgical procedure.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

A case of penile calciphylaxis development shortly after initiation of dialysis for graft dysfunction following living donor kidney transplantation: a case report

BMC Nephrology
Background Penile calciphylaxis is a rare condition with a poor prognosis. Although the median time to onset in patients undergoing dialysis is approximately 48 months, reports of early onset shortly after dialysis initiation are rare.

Immune status of recipients following bone marrow - Augmented solid organ transplantation [PDF]

, 1995
It has been postulated that the resident “passenger” leukocytes of hematolymphoid origin that migrate from whole organ grafts and subsequently establish systemic chimerism are essential for graft acceptance and the induction of donor-specific ...

Who should be prioritized for renal transplantation?: Analysis of key stakeholder preferences using discrete choice experiments [PDF]

, 2012
Background Policies for allocating deceased donor kidneys have recently shifted from allocation based on Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) tissue matching in the UK and USA. Newer allocation algorithms incorporate waiting time as a primary factor, and in

Paediatric kidney transplantation

Annals of Medicine, 1998
Renal transplantation is the optimal form of renal replacement therapy leading to substantial improvement in the quality of life. It has rapidly become the standard treatment for end-stage renal disease in children. However, despite impressive short-term results significant long-term problems remain unsolved.

Turning Unpredictable Biomolecule Adsorption to Controlled Corona Formation: Focus on Carbon Nanomaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling the protein corona formation onto carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) enhances their functionalities as platforms for cancer theranostics. Here, we reviewed the effects of the intrinsic and acquired properties of CNMs on protein corona formation, the consequent biological and toxicological outcomes, and the strategies to reshape corona formation ...
