Abstract

From December 17, 1966 to December 31, 1990, 3,069 pancreas transplants worldwide (1,806 United States and 1,263 non-United States) were reported to the International Pancreas Transplant Registry, including 606 in 1990. The 2,871 pancreas transplants in the Registry data base as of October 31, 1990 were analyzed. Results worldwide improved in each of 5 successive eras. The recipient and pancreas graft functional survival rates at 1 year for all 1988 to 1990 cases (n = 1,415) were 91% and 68%, respectively. The effect of multiple variables on outcome was determined by analyzing the 2,037 cases in the International Registry data base since 1985. Worldwide, BD (n = 1,566) was used more frequently than DI (n = 327) or ED (n = 174) and was associated with a significantly higher (p less than 0.001) graft functional survival rate, at 1 year 65% versus 56% and 53%, respectively. Worldwide, SPK transplants (n = 1,644) were performed much more frequently than either PAK (n = 223), or PTA (n = 212). The pancreas graft functional survival rate was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) in the SPK than in the other 2 categories, at 1 year being 68% versus 45% and 37%, respectively. The kidney graft survival rate for all SPK cases at 1 yea...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
