Incidence and Risk Factors for Infectious Complications in Liver Transplant Patients Converted to Everolimus
AIM:Immunosuppression with an mTOR inhibitor plus calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) minimization is increasingly used in liver transplantation to protect against the nephrotoxic and neurotoxic side effects…2015 American Transplant Congress
Financial Impact of an Advanced Liver Disease Service on a Tertiary Health System
Regional disparities in liver transplantation motivated revision of national organ-sharing policies towards critically ill patients. Liver transplantation of high MELD patients incorporates significant institutional commitment…2015 American Transplant Congress
Human CD8+TCR– Facilitating Cells Enhance HSC Engraftment In Vivo and Promote HSC Survival In Vitro
CD8+/TCR- facilitating cells (FC) in mouse BM significantly enhance engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in syngeneic and allogeneic recipients. Human FC phenotype and mechanism…2015 American Transplant Congress
Targeted Rapamycin Nanotherapy Dampens Memory T Cell Function
Memory T cells (Tm) are difficult to control post-transplantation and account for early rejection episodes. Additionally, therapies exerting local immunosuppression by targeting an allograft, while…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prevalence and Clinical Outcomes Associated With Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcal Colonization Or Infection After Small Intestinal Transplantation
