Adult patients with acute leukemia in need of a transplant but without a genoidentical donor are usually considered upfront for transplantation with stem cells from any other allogeneic source, rather than autologous stem cell transplantation. We used data from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and performed a matched pair analysis on 188 T-cell-replete haploidentical an...

The urinary excretion of fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (F.D.P.) of 81 human cadaver kidney transplants has been measured serially by the techniques of tanned red cell haemagglutination inhibition immunoassay and immunonephelometry. Acute rejection episodes in functioning transplants have been associated with increased F.D.P. excretion which in 80% of cases has preceded clinical diagnos...

Plugs are rapidly replacing fresh-dug bare-root and cold-stored frigo plants as transplants for strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) production worldwide. Plugs have many advantages over these other types of propagules. They are grown in controlled environments (greenhouses, tunnels) in less time than field produced bare-root transplants, and are not exposed to soilborne pathogens. Plugs afford grea...

A month-old baby girl with blood type O positive received a donor heart organ from a donor with blood type B. This was the first institutional ABO-incompatible heart transplant. Infants listed for transplantation may be considered for an ABO-incompatible heart transplant based on their antibody levels and age. The United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) protocol is infants under 24 months with t...

1. A reliable method of parathyroid grafting in rats, and of assessing the functional state of such grafts in terms of blood calcium has been devised. 2. Parathyroid homografts between rats of proven genetic diversity may be rejected as promptly as skin; but the majority survive for an indefinite period, there being no intermediate class. 3. Surviving parathyroid grafts in this genetically dive...

BACKGROUND Only a small proportion of patients with end-stage renal disease can receive kidney transplants because of insufficiency of kidney donors in Taiwan. Hospitals compete with each other for kidney transplant surgeries. This study examined the association between hospital surgical volume of kidney transplants and patients' outcomes and utilizations. METHODS Claims data of all kidney tr...
