Bridging 4D QFTs and 2D VOAs via 3D high-temperature EFTs Open
The high-temperature limit of the superconformal index, especially on higher sheets, often captures useful universal information about a theory. In 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories with fractional r-charges, there exists a …

In-person versus virtual heart transplantation selection committee meetings: Longer-term impact on committee member perceptions and patient selection outcomes Open
The COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in heart transplantation, including transitioning from in-person to virtual selection committee meetings. The longer-term impact of this transition on committee perceptions and patient selection outcome…

Practicality and Safety of Electrical Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Left Atrial Appendage Ligation in Lung Transplant Recipients With Pretransplant Atrial Fibrillation Open
Background. Lung transplant surgery creates surgical pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as a routine part of the procedure. However, many patients with pretransplant atrial fibrillation continue to have atrial fibrillation at 1 y. We hypothesi…

Safety and efficacy of delaying lung transplant surgery to a morning start Open
Lung transplant recipients with donor cross-clamp times scheduled after 1:30 am may safely have their operations delayed until 6:30 am with acceptable outcomes. Adoption of such a policy in clinically appropriate settings may lead to an al…

NKG2D receptor activation drives primary graft dysfunction severity and poor lung transplantation outcomes Open
Clinical outcomes after lung transplantation, a life-saving therapy for patients with end-stage lung diseases, are limited by primary graft dysfunction (PGD). PGD is an early form of acute lung injury with no specific pharmacologic therapi…
