Pediatric lung transplant: Correlation of pretransplant condition with post‐transplant outcomes

Pediatric Transplantation, 2020
AbstractBackgroundIt is generally accepted that patients who have greater functional capacity are better candidates for lung transplantation. Accurate assessment of physical condition is important in identifying appropriate candidates for transplant. The focus of this study was to determine which measures of pretransplant physical condition correlate ...

Transplants for non-lethal conditions: a case against hand transplantation in minors

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2018
Human allografts for life-threatening organ failure have been demonstrated to be lifesaving and are now considered to be standard of care for many conditions. Transplantation of non-vital anatomic body parts has also been accomplished. Hand transplantation after limb loss in adults has been shown to offer some promising benefits in both functional and ...

Safety of conditioning agents for allogeneic haematopoietic transplantation

Expert Opinion on Drug Safety, 2009
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for haematological malignancies became a safer approach in recent years, for example, owing to improved supportive strategies. However, despite the efficacy of the procedure, morbidity and mortality mainly caused by infections and organ toxicity remain serious problems.

Optimal conditions for heart cell cryopreservation for transplantation

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2003
Cultured myocyte transplantation into an infarcted myocardium has been shown to improve contractile function. Cryopreservation of cultured muscle cells or heart tissue will be important for the technology to be practical. This study, using fetal cardiomyocytes, evaluated the optimal conditions for muscle cell cryopreservation.
