Influence of early neurological complications on clinical outcome following lung transplant
ConclusionsThe real incidence of neurological complications among lung transplant recipients is probably underestimated. They usually appear in the first two months after surgery. Despite not affecting mortality, they do affect the mean length of hospital stay, and especially the time spent in the Intensive Care Unit. We found no risk factor for neurological complications except for long operating times, ischemic time and need for transfusion. It is necessary to develop programs for the prevention and early recognition of these complications, and the prevention of their precipitant and risk factors.

Implantation of a Left Ventricular Assist Device for Danon Cardiomyopathy.
We present two cases of successful implantation of an LVAD for Danon cardiomyopathy. Patient 1 was in the dilatated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with Danon cardiomyopathy, and she underwent LVAD implantation. She is waiting for transplantation. Patient 2 had dilatated cardiomyopathy with Danon cardiomyopathy and received transplantation 990 days after LVAD implantation without myopathy or intellectual disability.

Rehabilitation in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease.
Abstract Chronic graft-versus-host disease is a potentially debilitating complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Due to the direct inflammatory effects of the disease on tissue, and the impact on muscle and bone of the high-dose glucocorticoid immunosuppression used to treat the disease, patients are at risk of developing multifactorial functional impairment. This review outlines the clinical assessment and rehabilitation interventions to manage aspects of the disease that cause the most impairment: involvement of the skin/fascial and cardiopulmonary organ systems, as well as steroid-in...

Clinical Reasoning: A 33-year-old man with cardiomyopathy and myopathy
An 18-year-old Hmong man sought medical care because of worsening performance on military training exercises. He had a previous syncopal episode with prompt recovery. His medical and developmental history were otherwise unremarkable. A chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly and, after further cardiac tests, he was diagnosed with postinfectious or idiopathic cardiomyopathy. His cardiac function deteriorated and heart transplantation was pursued. During preoperative evaluation, his serum creatine kinase (CK) was noted to be persistently elevated in the 4,000s, prompting further investigation, but since he was not weak or oth...

Anesthetic considerations for renal transplant surgery in patients with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome: a case report
Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome is a progressive syndrome with variable involvement of multiple-organ systems. These patients require special consideration for preoperative optimization, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. The medical literature regarding perioperative management of these patients relies heavily on case reports. Here we present a novel experience providing care for a patient with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome who underwent renal transplantation for focal segmental glomerulo...

The Novel m.9997 T>A tRNAGlyVariant Causes Multisystem Mitochondrial Disease Including Myopathy, Neuropathy, Cardiomyopathy, Intestinopathy and Nephropathy (P5.016)
CONCLUSIONS: The novel m.9997 T>A tRNAGly variant may cause significant multisystem disease including various forms of cardiomyopathy, myopathy, bowel dysmotility, neuropathy, and nephropathy. This case illustrates the importance of the extended family history to identify affected individuals and the need for awareness of the pleiotropy of mitochondrial disease.Disclosure: Dr. Roggenbuck has nothing to disclose.

Effect of the route of stem cell transplantation on its therapeutic potential on induced myopathy in rats: a histological and immunohistochemical study
Conclusion: Mesenchymal stem cells administered either intramuscularly or intravenously have therapeutic potentials for statin-induced myopathy. However, intramuscular route is more effective.

Colchicine-Induced Myopathy in a Tacrolimus-Treated Renal Transplant Recipient: Case Report and Literature Review
We report a 62-year-old African American renal transplant recipient who had been doing well on tacrolimus-based immunosuppression and was started on colchicine (0.6 mg twice daily) for gouty flare. A few days later, he was found to have a 4-fold increase in aspartate aminotransferase and an elevated creatine phosphokinase. Although this interaction is very well known with cyclosporine, it has not yet been reported in patients on tacrolimus.

Ten-Year Experience With Bowel Transplantation at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital
A retrospective review of intestinal transplantation (ITx) at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital was made by collecting clinical data over the past 10 years. Fifteen consecutive cases from 2004 were analyzed. Five children and 10 adults (6 months to 69 years of age) were included. Primary diseases in adults included 4 mesenteric vessel thromboses, 2 strangulations, and 1 each of visceral myopathy, malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), mesenteric lymphangiectasis, and injury. Pediatric cases involved 2 Hirschsprung disease, 2 visceral myopathy, and 1 necrotizing enterocolitis.

What's in the Literature?
Abstract: In this issue, we review clinical features associated with an elevated serum creatine kinase level found in a percentage of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The treatment of ALS remains problematic, and issues with offerings on the internet for unregulated stem cell treatment and the movement for right-to-try experimental drugs are discussed. The last What's in the Literature? discussed information about recording from stimulating electrodes implanted in the diaphragm of ALS patients, and this issue discusses the results of a randomized trial using diaphragm pacing. Chronic inflammatory demyelin...
