Altered Intestinal Microbiome as a Potential Biomarker for Failed Immune-Regulation in Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Purpose: Beta-cell destruction results due to a failure of immune-regulation in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We investigated alterations in the intestinal microbiome composition as a…2015 American Transplant Congress
Association Between the Timed Up and Go Test and Waitlisting for Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: The Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) is a test of balance, mobility and functional capacity. Longer times on the TUGT are associated with…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Donor Risk Index Does Not Accurately Classify Patients With or Without Graft Failure
In liver transplantation assessing risk of donor is paramount to graft survival. The donor risk index (DRI) was introduced as a predictor of graft failure…2015 American Transplant Congress
Phenotypic Personalized Medicine: Mechanism-Independent Convergence Into Target Serum Tacrolimus Levels for Optimized Liver Transplant Immunosuppression
PURPOSE:Immunosuppressive drugs such as tacrolimus have narrow therapeutic ranges and their dosing variability necessitates intensive drug monitoring. This study aimed to use Feedback System Control…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Potential Use of the Plasma Biomarker CXCL9 (MIG), Interleukin 2 Receptor alpha (IL2Rα) and SCGF-b as Predictors of Renal Graft Rejection
Background: Early detection of rejection in kidney transplantation is crucial, and predictive plasma biomarkers are highly desirable as non-invasive tests.Methods: From a cohort of 120…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Critical Illness and Pre-Transplant Hospitalization on Cost of Liver Transplantation
Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA.
In order to understand the cost impact of hospitalization and ICU admission immediately prior to liver transplantation (LT), we obtained all hospital costs associated with…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection in Antibody Incompatible Renal Transplantation Using Machine Learning for Wide Data
The dynamic field of renal transplantation is characterised by limited access to data, the high cost of equipment and underlying complexity of immunological responses to…2015 American Transplant Congress
MELD Velocity An Early Predictor of Increased Mortality Risk
INTRODUCTION: MELD is a satisfactory predictor of 3-month mortality in patients with cirrhosis. However, sub-populations of patients at increased hazard of mortality, but not well…2015 American Transplant Congress
