Living Donor Lung Transplantation After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation From the Same Donor: A Risk Worth Taking
We report a successful case of father-to-child single-lobe LT, because of the complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from the same donor, with initial low-dose immunosuppressive therapy and subsequent early discontinuation. Full donor chimerism was hypothesized to be a mechanism of transplant tolerance, and this postulated immunological benefit was deemed to outweigh the risks of living donation and the possible drawbacks of single compared with bilateral LT. Favorable size matching and donor's anatomy, accurate surgical planning, and specific expertise in pediatric transplantation also contributed to the...

A 52-Year-Old Woman With Dysarthria, Ataxia, Xanthelasmas, and Miliary Pulmonary Nodules
Chest. 2024 Apr;165(4):e95-e100. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.10.034.ABSTRACTA 52-year-old woman with no significant medical history was referred to our hospital for expedited workup of progressive dysarthria and ataxia over the past year. Prior CT angiography of the head and neck showed no relevant neurologic findings but did reveal miliary lesions in the lung apices, which was later confirmed via dedicated CT chest scan (Fig 1). Review of systems was negative for any respiratory, constitutional, or rheumatologic symptoms, except for new xanthelasma-like lesions over her forehead. She previously had smoked with 20 pack-years...

A Biophilosophical Approach to the Determination of Brain Death
Chest. 2024 Apr;165(4):959-966. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.12.011.ABSTRACTTechnical and clinical developments have raised challenging questions about the concept and practice of brain death, culminating in recent calls for revision of the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA), which established a whole brain standard for neurologic death. Proposed changes range from abandoning the concept of brain death altogether to suggesting that current clinical practice simply should be codified as the legal standard for determining death by neurologic criteria (even while acknowledging that significant functions of the whole brain...
