Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during aplasia: A bridge towards myopericarditis recovery after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant for systemic sclerosis and recent Coronarovirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination
This report illustrates, for the first time to our knowledge, that ECMO can be indicated despite aplasia during aHSCT and successfully used as a bridge towards heart function recovery in highly selected and fragile AD patients. We review the factors that may contribute to endothelial and myocardial stunning and acute reversible cardiac failure in SSc and aggravate intrinsic endothelial injury during the aHSCT procedure. These classically include: cyclophosphamide drug toxicity, viral infections and autoimmune activation with disease flair per se. In the COVID-19 pandemic times, acute myocarditis due to recent viral infecti...

Randomized clinical trial of non-antibiotic prophylaxis with d-Mannose plus Proanthocyanidins vs. Proanthocyanidins alone for urinary tract infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria in de novo kidney transplant recipients: The Manotras study
CONCLUSIONS: Non-antibiotic therapy is an unmet need to prevent UTI after kidney transplantation; however, the use of d-Mannose plus PAC does not seem capable to prevent it.PMID:38637262 | DOI:10.1016/j.nefroe.2024.02.011 (Source: Nefrologia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola Nefrologia)

The association of socioeconomic status on kidney transplant access and outcomes: a nationwide cohort study in Taiwan
CONCLUSION: A relevant disparity exists in accessing kidney transplantation in Taiwan, depending on individual and neighborhood socioeconomic status. However, results post transplantation were not different after five years. Improved access to waitlisting, education, and welfare support may reduce disparities.PMID:38635122 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-024-01928-5 (Source: Journal of Nephrology)

Early pandemic in-hospital outcomes and mortality risk factors in COVID-19 solid organ transplant patients
CONCLUSION: In this nationally representative sample, SOT patients presenting with COVID-19 experienced similar rates of mortality compared to those without SOT. SOT patients were more likely to develop acute kidney injury. Further research is needed to understand the complex relationship between transplant patient outcomes and COVID-19.PMID:38628349 | PMC:PMC11018036 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2024.2325310 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)
