Myocardial infarction and factor VIII elevation in a 36-year-old man
We report a 36-year-old man who had a myocardial infarction despite lacking traditional cardiac risk factors. He developed end-stage heart failure and renal insufficiency necessitating a HeartMate II left ventricular assist device (LVAD). While on the transplant list, he experienced two episodes of LVAD thrombosis 6 months apart, prompting device exchange and escalation of anticoagulation therapy. He eventually underwent a successful heart-kidney transplant before suffering an extensive left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis 6 weeks later. A thrombophilia workup revealed elevated factor VIII activity of 319% (normal ran...

Medical costs for managing chronic kidney disease and related complications in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Management of CKD and its complications incurs high medical costs for patients with CKD and T2D. Results from this study can be used to quantify the economic profile of emerging treatments and inform decision-making.PMID:34878754 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2021.88807

Generation of Pericytic-Vascular Progenitors from Tankyrase/PARP-Inhibitor-Regulated Na ïve (TIRN) Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Methods Mol Biol. 2022;2416:133-156. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1908-7_10.ABSTRACTTankyrase/PARP inhibitor-regulated naïve human pluripotent stem cells (TIRN-hPSC) represent a new class of human stem cells for regenerative medicine that can differentiate into multi-lineage progenitors with improved in vivo functionality. Chemical reversion of conventional, primed hPSC to a TIRN-hPSC state alleviates dysfunctional epigenetic donor cell memory, lineage-primed gene expression, and potentially disease-associated aberrations in their differentiated progeny. Here, we provide methods for the reversion of normal or diseased patient-...

Chronic Rejection and Atherosclerosis in Post-Transplant Cardiovascular Mortality: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) as defined by the American Heart Association includes ischaemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure and thromboembolism [1]. Solid organ transplantation is associated with an increased risk of CVD morbidity and mortality [2], a relationship which was first observed in the context of kidney transplantation by Foley in 1998 [3]. This manifests clinically as an increased rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, unstable angina and heart failure [4,5].

ST elevation myocardial infarction and kidney transplant: A large cohort study: STEMI and renal transplant
CONCLUSION: STEMI is not an uncommon complication among KTR and is associated with significant mechanical complications. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors might improve the STEMI rates among KTR.PMID:34565688 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.09.006
