Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Children With Acute and Acuteon-Chronic Liver Failure: A Single-Center Experience
CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic plasma exchange may assist bridge to liver transplant or assist with spontaneous recovery of liver failure in pediatric patients with acute liver failure or acute-on-chronic liver failure.PMID:38385381 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O12 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Evaluation of Imaging Findings in Patients with Pretransplant and Posttransplant Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism
CONCLUSIONS: Higher numbers of detectable glands and the presence of parathyroid autonomy were more common in the pretransplant group. This might be explained by parathyroid gland involution after transplant. The results may also suggest that factors other than autonomy are responsible for posttransplant tertiary hyperparathyroidism.PMID:38385382 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O16 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

An Alternative and Up-To-Date Recommendation for a Proper Site for Parathyroid Transplantation: The Omentum
CONCLUSIONS: In the 23 patients, the success rate was 69.5% for the first 6-month period after transplant. Recent developments and large cohorts are needed to demonstrate the higher efficacy of parathyroid allotransplant over the omentum.PMID:38385383 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O17 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Delayed Graft Function in Pediatric Kidney Transplant: Risk Factors and Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Delayed graft function is a major determinant of early graft function and allograft rejection-free survival. Further research is required to establish proper preventive measures.PMID:38385384 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O20 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Efficacy of mTOR Inhibitors and Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Treatment of Polyoma BK Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Biopsy-Proven Study
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with polyoma BK virus nephropathy, clearance of viremia and SV40 should not be the sole outcomes to obtain. Aggressive reductions in maintenance immunosuppression and switching to double-drug therapy combined with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin leads to high rates of graft loss/rejection and sequalae of chronic histological changes.PMID:38385385 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O29 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Effect of Repeated Structured Diabetes Education on Lifestyle Knowledge and Self-Care Diabetes Management in Kidney Transplant Patients With Posttransplant Diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Structured diabetes education improved lifestyle knowledge, self-care diabetes management, and metabolic control variables among kidney transplant recipients with posttransplant diabetes. Structured diabetes education also resulted in partial reversibility of the present early diabetic nephropathy. We recommended such education to be delivered to all kidney transplant recipients with diabetes.PMID:38385386 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O31 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Ocular Symptoms in Kidney, Liver, and Heart Transplant Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Ocular findings were seen in most of the kidney and liver transplant recipients. Therefore, it is required that these patients undergo routine ocular screenings in order to facilitate early diagnosis and prompt treatment when needed.PMID:38385387 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O34 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Predicting Mortality of COVID-19 in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Developed Scores
CONCLUSIONS: Kidney and other solid-organ transplant patients are at greater risk of infection and mortality than other groups. Accurate risk-predicting tools are imperative for managing the COVID-19 pandemic with limited health resources.PMID:38385388 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O35 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

An Emerging Issue: Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Solid-Organ Transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Carbapenem resistance increased significantly over the years. Bacteremia 48 hours after hospitalization and hospitalization within the past 3 months were determined to be risk factors for carbapenem resistance. Carbapenem-resistant infections are still nosocomial infections. Patients should be hospitalized for as a short time as possible, and both patients and their physicians should follow infection control and prevention methods.PMID:38385389 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O38 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Evaluation of Candidemia in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients
CONCLUSIONS: For adult solid-organ transplant recipients with candidemia, careful monitoring is essential for successful management of total parenteral nutrition, central catheter, use of broadspectrum antibiotics, and invasive interventions.PMID:38385390 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O39 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Etiologies Associated With Elevated Liver Enzymes After Renal Transplant
CONCLUSION: The most common cause of deranged liver enzymes in patients who received living related renal transplants in our population was sepsis, which can have a substantial effect on graft survival.PMID:38385391 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P5 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Recurrence Rate of Early Hepatitis C Virus Infection After Renal Transplantation Following Successful Treatment of Patients on Dialysis With Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this study is the first to document excellent response of direct-acting antivirals in renal transplant recipients who had been referred early for transplant. Thus, dialysis patients can undergo transplant after achieving end-oftreatment response.PMID:38385392 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P6 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Living With a New Kidney From the Perspective of Adolescent Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Mandala-Supported Qualitative Study Protocol
CONCLUSIONS: This study, to our knowledge, is the first to focus on Mandala art therapy and the experiences of pediatric kidney transplant recipients and what it feels like to grow up with a new kidney. Our results will contribute to the literature and will help researchers understand what pediatric kidney transplant recipients are going through and what it means for them to live with a new kidney. Mandala art therapy can help pediatric kidney transplant recipients express their feelings and thoughts that they cannot otherwise express.PMID:38385393 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P9 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplan...

Immunology Status of Patients During Kidney Transplant
CONCLUSIONS: It is crucial to assess the reduction of donor-specific antibody quantity, considering both the percentage and the mean fluorescence intensity. To avoid false-positive results in crossmatch analysis, drug half-life must be considered. Laboratories should have various crossmatch techniques, such as flow cytometry and single-antigen microsphere bead assay technology, available for research and urgent cases that require crossmatch analysis.PMID:38385394 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P12 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Psychosocial Problems in Recipients of Kidney Transplant
CONCLUSIONS: Recent studies have indicated that kidney transplant recipients experience depression, anxiety, and stress during the posttransplant period. Support is recommended for recipients after kidney transplant, and interventions aimed at reducing depression, anxiety, and stress are needed.PMID:38385395 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P18 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)
