We present the case of a man who underwent successful heart transplantation with an allograft that was obtained from a donor who had already received heart transplantation.

Pancreatic islets are highly vascularized, which is important in their ability to quickly secrete insulin in response to changes in blood glucose. Although pancreatic islets comprise only 1–2% of pancreatic mass, they receive 5–10% of pancreatic blood flow. Blood vessels within pancreatic islets are of a greater density than those in surrounding exocrine tissue and are lined with fenestrated en...

to thrombectomy and finally to thrombolytic therapy with anticoagulation, which is currently the standard treatment of choice [1]. Here, we present a young woman with bilateral RVT. Her case constituted the first clinical report of heterozygous MTHFR mutation with RVT, which was her only risk factor for the disease. MTHFR is a key enzyme for intracellular folate homeostasis and metabolism that ...

UNLABELLED Recent studies have indicated that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) have the potential to improve neurologic function when transplanted into animal models of central nervous system disorders. However, how the transplanted BMSC restore the lost neurologic function is not clear. In the present study, therefore, we aimed to elucidate whether BMSC express the neuron-specific gamma-aminob...

The patient, a 51-year-old man, was receiving immunosuppressants for 2 yr after renal allotransplantation. He had heart failure with aortic regurgitation, fever, anemia and a history of odontectomy on admission. He was resistant to medical treatments and died from cerebral emboli. On autopsy, vegetation of the aortic valve was identified. Progression of atherosclerosis, which may have been due ...

Field experiments/On Farm trial (OFT) were conducted at Farmers field of village, Halsi, Lakhisarai under the supervision ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra, BAU, Bihar, India in 2012-13 and 2013-14.To established a uniform plant stand for maximum yield net return ultimately drudgery reduction. The experimental was laid out Randomized block design replicated four times (Number Farmers) with six treatmen...

objective(s) human umbilical cord blood (hucb) is now considered as a valuable source for stem cell–based therapies. previous studies showed that intravascular injection of the hucb significantly improves neurological functional recovery in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ich). in the present study, we hypothesize transplanted hucb derived mononuclear cells (uc-mcs) can decrease injure...

conclusions the pattern of longitudinally increased liver stiffness measurements efficiently supported clinical decisions for individualized management strategies. repeated transient elastography in real-life clinical practice appears to have a practical role in monitoring liver transplanted patients. background liver transplanted patients need close surveillance for early signs of graft diseas...
