BACKGROUND Organ donors are often implicated as the source of posttransplant recipient infection. We prospectively studied kidney and liver donor-recipient pairs to determine if donor viral replication of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and BK polyomavirus (BKV) at transplant was a risk factor for posttransplant recipient infection and disease. METHODS Donors and recipients w...

Recent reports from different haemovigilance systems indicate that errors in the whole-blood transfusion chain - from initial recipient identification to final blood administration - occur with a frequency of approximately 1 in 1000 events. Although mistakes occur also within the blood transfusion service, about two-thirds of errors are associated with incorrect blood recipient identification a...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most frequent microbes linked with kidney transplant recipients. CMV infection typically classified as virus isolation in any body fluid or specimen. We present a 43-year-old man who underwent deceased donor donor-seronegative and recipient-seronegative (CMV D-/R-) status completed three months prophylaxis high-dose acyclovir given his low-risk status. He was...

Background: Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the tape worm parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. Human is infected by ingestion of parasite ova excreted in dog feces. The anticancer activity of different antigens of hydatid cyst has been reported in the previous works. In this research, the role of immune system in induction of this anticancer activity has been investigated.Materials and Method...

HYPERACUTE rejection (HAR) of the kidney was first recognized 20 years ago in cases of donor-recipient incompatibility for the major blood group and tissue antigen systems. I•3 Recently, three patients at the University of Pittsburgh developed immediate graft dysfunction after receiving a kidney from an ABO-compatible cadaveric donor with a negative warm lymphocytotoxic crossmatch. None of the ...

Liver or hepatic transplantation (LT) is the replacement of a diseased liver with part or whole healthy liver from another person (allograft). Human liver transplants were first performed by Thomas Starzl in the United States and Roy Calne in Cambridge, England in 1963 and 1967, respectively. Liver transplantation is a viable treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure....

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of exogenous fecal microbiota transplantation on gut bacterial community structure, gut barrier and growth performance in recipient piglets. Twelve litters of Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire piglets of the same birth and parity were weighed and divided into two groups. One group (recipient piglets) was inoculated orally with fecal microbiota suspe...
