Encapsulating particles with coatings that conform to size and shape of the particles Open
Particles such as islet cells are encapsulated by a method that forms a coating of uniform thickness that conforms to the size and shape of the particles. Two substantially immiscible liquids of different densities are provided in a contai…

Time-Effect of Donor and Recipient Characteristics on Graft Survival after Kidney Transplantation Open
The kidney allocation system (KAS) is based on quality-based “longevity matching” strategies that provide only a momentary snapshot of expected outcomes at the time of transplantation. The purpose of our study was to define on a continuous…

Considerations for an Alternative Site of Islet Cell Transplantation Open
Islet cell transplantation has been limited most by poor graft survival. Optimizing the site of transplantation could improve clinical outcomes by minimizing required donor cells, increasing graft integration, and simplifying the transplan…

Inclusion of Incompatible Directed Deceased Donor Organs in Kidney Transplant Exchanges Open
In many instances, kidney transplants cannot be performed because of incompatibility (such as blood type or cross-match) among donors and recipients. One established way to address this finding is by means of donor exchanges, where incompa…

Immunomodulation by Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Their Clinical Applications Open
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells that can be isolated and expanded from various sources. MSCs modulate the function of immune cells, including T and B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells.…

Outcomes of Traumatic Pancreatic Injuries in Pediatric and Adult Patients: A Retrospective Study Involving Four Trauma Centers Open
Traumatic injuries of the pancreas are rare and affect both children and adults. Very little has been done to investigate differences in outcome between these two age groups. We performed a retrospective review of cases in four trauma hosp…

Glycated Hemoglobin, Plasma Glucose, and Erythrocyte Aging Open
Background: The relationship between HbA1c and blood glucose averages has been characterized many times, yet, a unifying, mechanistic description is still lacking. Methods: We calculated the level of HbA1c from plasma glucose averages base…

Utility of Exosomes in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Open
Pancreatic cancer is the most common lethal cancer, with annual incidence and mortality rates being approximately equal. This dismal prognosis can be attributed to late diagnosis making the cancers unresectable. These cancers respond poorl…

Outcomes following operative vs. non-operative management of blunt traumatic pancreatic injuries: a retrospective multi-institutional study Open
Background Traumatic pancreatic injuries are rare, and guidelines specifying management are controversial and difficult to apply in the acute clinical setting. Due to sparse data on these injuries, we carried out a retrospective review to …

Recipient Criteria Predictive of Graft Failure in Kidney Transplantation Open
Several classifications systems have been developed to predict outcomes of kidney transplantation based on donor variables. This study aims to identify kidney transplant recipient variables that would predict graft outcome irrespective of …

A Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma in a Renal Transplant Patient Successfully Treated with Posaconazole Open
Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented mo…
