Utilization of Bioreactance Technique as Indicator for Preload Responsiveness During Living Donor Liver Donation
Conclusions: Our study has shown that SVV measured from the bioreactance technique is a poor indicator for monitoring preload responsiveness during LDLD.

Statins side effects are minimal, study argues
ConclusionThis meta-analysis pooled results from 29 studies and has shown a very small increased risk of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. This is the same as the decreased risk of any cause of death in people taking statins, compared to placebo, to prevent a heart attack or stroke.The researchers point out some limitations to the meta-analysis: Each study did not report on all of the side effects, meaning that for each category of side effect, the number of participants differed. The side effect categories were only included if at least 500 people had reported suffering from it. This means there may be numerous other si...

Differential Clearance of Rat and Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells from the Brain After Intra-arterial Infusion in Rats.
Abstract Intra-arterial (i.a.) delivery of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) has shown potential as a minimally invasive therapeutic approach for stroke. The aim of the present study was to determine the whole-body biodistribution and clearance of technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)-labeled rat and human BMMSCs after i.a. delivery in a rat model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Our hypothesis was that xenotransplantation has a major impact upon the behavior of cells. Male RccHan:Wistar rats were subjected to sham-operation or MCAO...

HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) for kidney transplant recipients.
CONCLUSIONS: Statins may reduce cardiovascular events in kidney transplant recipients, although treatment effects are imprecise. Statin treatment has uncertain effects on overall mortality, stroke, kidney function, and toxicity outcomes in kidney transplant recipients. Additional studies would improve our confidence in the treatment benefits and harms of statins on cardiovascular events in this clinical setting. PMID: 24470059 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stem cells: what happened to the radical breakthroughs?
Much was promised in the late 1990s, but the challenge of advances such as growing whole human organs has been difficult to deliverIt's 1998 and science is taking big strides. The first cloned mammal, Dolly the Sheep, has just had her first lamb; the first robotically assisted heart surgery has been completed; Furbys have hit the shelves. In a bold announcement, biomedical engineer Professor Michael Sefton declared that within 10 years, scientists would have grown an entire heart, fit for transplant. "We're shooting big," he said. "Our vision is that we'll be able to pop out a damaged heart and replace it as easily as you ...

Clinical Differences Between Continuous Flow Ventricular Assist Devices: A Comparison Between HeartMate II and HeartWare HVAD
ConclusionWhile device complications were comparable, patients with HVAD experienced a significantly higher incidence of stroke and GI bleeding and therefore refinement in patients' management may decrease incidence of these complications.

Systematic bias in surgeons' predictions of the donor‐specific risk of liver transplant graft failure
In conclusion, transplant surgeons vary widely in their predictions of the donor‐specific risk of graft failure, and they demonstrate a systematic bias toward inaccurately low estimates of graft failure, particularly for higher risk organs. Liver Transpl, 2013. © 2013 AASLD.

Progeria syndrome in CKD/ESRD
Conclusions: Renal impairment independently associates with greater stroke disability at presentation and worse functional outcomes despite modern stroke care. Nonetheless these patients are also less likely to be thrombolysed for acute ischaemic stroke, which suggests a possible inequity in access to healthcare that requires urgent study.

Neurological Complications Prevalence and Long-Term Survival After Liver Transplantation
Conclusions: Neurological complications led to longer hospital stays with greater early morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of these complications appears to be extremely important for the multidisciplinary transplantation team to decrease its prevalence as well as to diagnose and treat early.

Lung transplant of extrahospitalary donor after cardiac death
The objective of this study is to describe the results of lung transplantation of after cardiac death program, specifically the section regarding lung extraction donation. Twenty potential lung donors were obtained during the study. Most patients were male (19 cases), with a mean age of 42 years (36.5-49.5 years). A total of 33 lungs were donated (18 right and 15 left lungs). Most extractions were multiorganic (19 cases). One liver, 19 kidneys, 2 pancreas, and 19 corneas were obtained from these donors; bone tissue was obtained from all donors. The transplantation was bipulmonary in 13 cases and unipulmonary in 7. Thirty d...

Biodistribution of bone marrow mononuclear cells after intra-arterial or intravenous transplantation in subacute stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: BMMNC labeling with technetium-99m allowed imaging for up to 24 h after intra-arterial or intravenous injection in stroke patients. PMID: 23477395 [PubMed - in process]

Stem Cells for Cell-Based Therapies
The world of stem cells We know the human body comprises many cell types (e.g., blood cells, skin cells, cervical cells), but we often forget to appreciate that all of these different cell types arose from a single cell—the fertilized egg. A host of sequential, awe-inspiring events occur between the fertilization of an egg and the formation of a new individual: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are also called totipotent cells. The first steps involve making more cells by simple cell division: one cell becomes two cells; two cells become four cells, etc. Each cell of early development is undifferentiated; that is, it is...
