How to Improve Pre-Kidney Transplant Education for Hispanics: Preferences and Perceptions of Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Hispanic Transplant Program.
Context: Pre-Transplant educational sessions improve access to transplantation. Currently, however, there is lack of culturally competent approaches to improve living kidney donation for Hispanics Americans.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Drug-Free Survival of Tiny Cynomolgus Islet Allografts.
Following upon highly beneficial effects observed with short-term alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) treatment in the marginally sized autologous cynomolgus islet transplant model, we are testing the…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Combined Effects of Induction Regimens and Antiviral Prophylaxis on the Risk of CMV Infection in Different Serostatus Subgroups After Liver Transplantation.
Introduction: Simultaneous effects of anti-CMV prophylaxis and induction regimens on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after liver transplantation (LTRs) have not been studied. We determined the magnitude…2017 American Transplant Congress
TRPV4 Channels Mediate Pulmonary Edema and Inflammation During Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
