Impact of Low Dose Tacrolimus with Everolimus Regimen on Renal Pathology and T-Regulatory Cells in Kidney Transplant.
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) serve as the cornerstone of immunosuppression (IS) after kidney transplant. However chronic CNI nephrotoxicity has been implicated in allograft dysfunction. We hypothesize…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Randomized OPEN Trial Designed to Reduce the Incidence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in DE NOVO Kidney Transplant Recipients Two-Year Results.
Transplant, Hospital Geral de Fortaleza, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.

Better Long-Term Renal Function with Lower Incidence of Acute Rejection and Lower CMV Infection in Renal Transplant Patients Treated with a Combination of Tacrolimus and Everolimus.
Surgery - Renal Transplant Unit, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome, Italy.
Introduction. Recent clinical trials have shown that the combination of CNIs with Everolimus (EVE) allows CNIs minimization, which may positively impact on chronic nephrotoxicity. Aim…2016 American Transplant Congress
Factors and Outcomes Associated with Daptomycin Non-Susceptible Enterococcal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.
Background: Daptomycin non-susceptible enterococcal (DNSE) infections are associated with poor outcomes. Information regarding factors and outcomes of DNSE in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients (SOTR)…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prior Infection or Colonization with Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Is Not an Absolute Contraindication for Solid Organ Transplantation.
BackgroundCarbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection is associated with poor outcomes after solid organ transplantation (SOT). The significance of CRE colonization or infection prior to SOT is…2016 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Outcomes of Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus Bacteremia After Liver Transplant.
Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infection is reported in 5-20% of liver transplant (LT) recipients and is associated with decreased survival. Published data includes infections of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Colonization and Risk of Bacteremia by Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms in Intestinal Transplant Recipients.
Background: This study is the first to evaluate colonization rates and subsequent bacteremia with multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) in intestinal transplant (ITx) recipients.Methods: Retrospective study…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Pre-Transplant Infections on Post-Liver Transplant Outcomes.
Background: Pre- and Post-liver transplant infections are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) patients. How pre-transplant infections affect early…2016 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Impact of the Verigene® Blood Culture System on Rapid Diagnosis and Antibiotic Optimization in Bacteremic Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) Recipients.
Background:Bloodstream infections are a major concern in SOT recipients and ineffective antibiotic therapy is strongly associated with poor outcomes. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) provide prompt…2016 American Transplant Congress
