Noninvasive 13C-methacetin Liver Function Breath Test as a Tool for Functional Assessment During Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Porcine Livers Open
Background. Several viability tests, including lactate clearance and bile production, are used to evaluate livers during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). However, specific cutoff values and therapeutic consequences vary significantly.…

“Seeing inside out”: revealing the effectiveness of otoscopy training in virtual reality enhanced practical exams - a randomized controlled trial Open
Background The study aimed to assess the impact of different training modalities on otoscopy performance during a practical exam using a high-fidelity simulator and to determine if objective evaluation of otoscopy is feasible using a simul…

Investigation of the influence of xenoreactive antibodies on activation of complement and coagulation in an<i>ex vivo</i>perfusion animal study using porcine kidneys Open
During pig-to-primate xenotransplantation or perfusion of porcine organs with human blood, a xenogeneic coagulopathy with consecutive development of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) can be observed. The aim of this study was to elucidate t…

Hepatocyte‐induced CD4+ T cell alloresponse is associated with major histocompatibility complex class II up‐regulation on hepatocytes and suppressible by regulatory T cells Open
Hepatocyte transplantation is a promising therapeutic approach for various liver diseases. Despite the liver's tolerogenic potential, early immune‐mediated loss of transplanted cells is observed, and longterm acceptance has not been achiev…

Risk-factors for nodular hyperplasia of parathyroid glands in sHPT patients Open
The three identified risk-factors (duration of dialysis, PG volume determined by ultrasound and serum level of parathyroid hormone) can be easily gathered in daily routine and could be used to non-invasively assess the probability of nodul…

A Depleting Anti-CD45 Monoclonal Antibody as Isolated Conditioning for Bone Marrow Transplantation in the Rat Open
This depletive anti-RT7a mAb is myelosuppressive and conditions for engraftment of MHC syngeneic BM. The mAb also facilitates engraftment of MHC haploidentical BM, if a myeloablative dose is used. RT7b expressing, BM-seeded α/β TCR+ cells …
