Abstract

Positive cross-match (PXM) renal transplantation has been utilized to address the issue of the increasing demand for transplantation with the shortage of suitable organs. Our primary objective was to analyze the outcomes of African American (AA) PXM renal transplant recipients utilizing AA negative cross-match (NXM) renal transplant recipients as a comparator group. This was a retrospective study consisting of all PXM patients who underwent a desensitization protocol and all AA NXM transplant recipients at the University of Illinois at Chicago from July 2001 to March 2007. We found that AA PXM recipients had significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 1 year than AA NXM (46.2 vs. 60.6, p = 0.007). AA PXM who experienced acute rejection within the first year were more likely to have an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2) at 1 year compared to their NXM counterparts (45.5% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.034). Positive cross-match renal transplantation in AA seems to be associated with a high degree of AR and severe renal compromise at 1 year. Larger studies are needed to determine if protocols that are associated with good short-term outcomes in non-AA need to be modified for the AA population.

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.
