Successful Treatment of Strongyloides stercoralis Hyperinfection in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Case Report
We report the case of a cadaveric kidney transplant recipient who developed gastrointestinal symptoms and eosinophilia, approximately 3 months after transplantation. Stool examination and esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsies were positive for SS larvae. The patient was started on oral ivermectin and immunosuppression was reduced, but still the clinical picture got worse with metabolic ileus and respiratory symptoms, with the need for administration of subcutaneous ivermectin and combined therapy with albendazol.

Access to Liver Transplantation in Different ABO-Blood Groups and “Exceptions Points” in a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Allocation System: A Brazilian Single-Center Study
In the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) system, patients with “MELD exceptions” points may have unfair privilege in the competition for liver grafts. Furthermore, organ distribution following identical ABO blood types may also result in unjust organ allocation. The aim of this study was to investigate access to liver transplantation in a tertiary Brazilian center, regarding “MELD exceptions” situations and among ABO-blood groups.

Stratifying Mortality in a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Waiting List: A Brazilian Single-Center Study
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) system reliably predicts mortality in cirrhotic patients. However, the etiology of liver disease and presence of portal vein thrombosis are not directly taken into account in MELD score. Its impact on the outcomes of patients on the waiting list is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate mortality and access to transplantation regarding etiology of liver disease and portal vein thrombosis (PVT). (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Soluble CD30, Acute Rejection, and Graft Survival: Pre- and 6-Month Post-Transplant Determinations —When Is the Best Time to Measure?
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sCD30 measured pretransplant and up to 6 months after transplantation as a predictor of AR, graft loss, and survival at 5 years post-transplantation. Subjects were patients receiving living donor renal transplants at Bonsucesso Federal Hospital (Rio de Janeiro) in 2006 and between August 2010 and May 2011. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Multivisceral Transplantation Rehabilitation Program —Case Report
Multivisceral transplantation is the treatment for multiple abdominal organ failure. The patient experiences reduced food intake and absorption of nutrients, contributing to weight loss and decreased muscle mass, reducing functional capacity. A physical and nutritional rehabilitation program based on adequate caloric intake associated with supervised physical exercise seems to support a gain of muscle mass, re-establishing its capacity and functional independence. A rehabilitation program was carried out, consisting of low-intensity aerobic exercise on treadmill, exercises of global strengthening (50% of 1 maximum repetiti...

Epidemiologic Profile of Transplant Patients Treated by the Physiotherapy
Transplant candidates have advanced chronic disease, which often leads to muscular and respiratory impairment contributing to reduced quality of life and daily life activities, and these patients are therefore referred to physiotherapy service. Because of this, it is necessary to know the epidemiologic and functional profile for a better physiotherapeutic approach. Inpatients of kidney, liver, heart, lung and multivisceral transplantation programs were followed up for 1 year. A comparative analysis between groups was performed, taking into account hospital stay time and functional independence measure (FIM). (Source: Trans...

Liver Transplantation Using Prolonged Cold Ischemia Time Grafts Preserved With Institute George-Lopez-1 Solution
Institute George-Lopez-1 (IGL-1) solution is a preservation solution with lower potassium and lower viscosity than the University of Wisconsin solution that has been recently used in liver transplantation. In the present series, we compare the outcome of liver grafts from brain-dead donors preserved in IGL-1cold storage solution, with cold ischemia times (CITs) longer than 8 hours and those less than 8 hours. Two hundred fifty-two liver transplantations performed from January 2014 to December 2016 at Hospital Santa Isabel, Blumenau, Brazil, were retrospectively analyzed.
