the renal transplantation program in iran had substantially been lagged behind in comparison to hemodialysis until 1985. between 1979-1984, due to lack of the facilities, over 400 iranian patients went abroad and underwent renal transplantation there. in order to evaluate the outcome of these transplants, all medical records of a nephrology clinic between the years 1978-1990 were reviewed and t...

background: chronic graft versus host disease (cgvhd) is one of the most serious potential complications of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. study design and method: we analyzed the incidence of cgvhd and its associated risk factors in a group of 161 iranian recipients of hla-identical sibling transplants, with at least 90 days post-transplantation survival. in the majority of cases (n=7...

Infections with filamentous fungi are common in transplant recipients. The risk for aspergillosis and other invasive pulmonary mycosis (IPM) is high in patients undergoing stem cell and lung transplantations. The mortality rates range from 20% to 60% and depend on a number of risk factors. The typical manifestations of IPM are lung infiltrates, consolidations, and fungal tracheobronchitis. The ...

In this presentation, we sought to update the information on cluster transplants and their spinoffs. In addition, we explain why we believe that uterine transplantation is a project worth pursuing as an option for women with uterine infertility.

In this review we consider recovery of function after spinal cord injury, and, in particular, recovery improved following intraspinal cellular transplants. Some recovery occurs spontaneously and this can be especially dramatic in neonates, supporting the notion that developing and adult spinal cord respond differently to injury. Recovery can be improved in both neonates and adults by appropriat...

The development of five transplants of fetal retinal tissue to adult rat eyes was examined with the electron microscope. The transplants were of 9 to 10 weeks total age after conception in four cases and 20 weeks in one case. They were at stage E15 when transplanted. Transplants developed in both the epiretinal and subretinal spaces. The transplants were heterogeneously developed with some part...

Since the first pancreas transplant in 1966, over 67,000 transplants have been performed worldwide and number is growing. While of US has changed only slightly past decade, many countries outside shown strong growth numbers. The numbers due to increasing patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving a transplant. Only during COVID-19 pandemic 2020 2021 did decline, but they started recover 2...

OBJECTIVE The superficial location of renal transplants places them at risk for traumatic damage. Significant injuries have been reported from automobile seat belts, for example. This study was designed to assess the potential for direct transplant injury from the use of climbing harnesses. METHODS Ten patients with kidney transplants were fitted with a variety of climbing harnesses after the...

OBJECTIVES The Shiraz Organ Transplant Center, the largest transplant center in Iran, has expanded its program of organ transplant during recent years. This article seeks to summarize organ transplantation over the last 2 decades and evaluate its status as of 2011. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of all organ transplants performed in our center in 2011. ...

PURPOSE To establish the light and electron microscopic morphology of long-term full-thickness embryonic rabbit retinal transplants, with special attention paid to graft- host integration. METHODS Eighteen rabbits received a complete embryonic neuroretina 19 days after conception. The transplants were positioned under the host retina, flat against the host retinal pigment epithelium with prop...
