Latent Gaussian Mixture Models for Nationwide Kidney Transplant Center Evaluation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Five year post-transplant survival rate is an important indicator on quality of care delivered by kidney transplant centers in the United States. To provide a fair assessment of each transplant center, an effect that represents the center-specific care quality, along with patient level risk factors, is often included in the risk adjustment model.

Accurate Delivery of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Spheroids With Platelet‐Rich Fibrin Shield: Enhancing Survival and Repair Functions of Sp‐MSCs in Diabetic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Autologous plasma‐derived platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) is prepared as a protective shield for mesenchymal stem cell spheroids (Sp‐MSCs). PRF forms a fibrin shield to protect Sp‐MSCs from the oxidative stress environment. The nutrients in PRF, particularly the α‐granules, can enhance the repair function of Sp‐MSCs.

Label‐Free Dual‐Modal Photoacoustic/Ultrasound Localization Imaging for Studying Acute Kidney Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops a 3D label‐free photoacoustic/super‐resolution ultrasound imaging system as a comprehensive non‐invasive tool for acute kidney injury (AKI) study. This technique visualizes the intricate structure of renal microvessels and provides critical physiological insights, including renal hemodynamics and oxygenation.

A large language model-based approach to quantifying the effects of social determinants in liver transplant decisions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Patient life circumstances, including social determinants of health (SDOH), shape both health outcomes and care access, contributing to persistent disparities across gender, race, and socioeconomic status. Liver transplantation exemplifies these challenges, requiring complex eligibility and allocation decisions where SDOH directly influence patient ...
