Lee et al retrospectively enrolled 75 patients who had undergone liver transpalantation and found that although MDCT in the late period should be interpreted with caution in patients with suspected biliary complication, MDCT is a reliable diagnostic technique for the identification of early and late abdominal complications after liver transplantation.

Following meniscal transplantation, there is a period of restricted weight-bearing in order to allow the meniscus to heal and incorporate into the patient's own knee. (wustl.edu)

The possibility that the microbiota of the lower respiratory tract may have local effects following lung transplantation has been widely reported. (nature.com)
Patient2
In September 2009, CDC was notified of an anti-HCV negative patient who, during liver transplantation 4 months earlier, had been given a vessel conduit inadvertently from an anti-HCV positive donor. (cdc.gov)
In addition, research is needed to best understand liver function in small grafts and to ensure regeneration in the early period after transplantation. (medscape.com)
When a transplantation is indicated, it is often because of a congenital structural defect or condition where the need for a transplant becomes evident in the first few months of life. (hus.fi)

Surgeons and patients now have scientific evidence that older donor corneas are suitable for transplantation," said Edward J. Holland, M.D., professor of ophthalmology at the University of Cincinnati, director of the Cornea Service at the Cincinnati Eye Institute, and co-chair of the study. (nih.gov)
All donor corneas met the Eye Bank Association of America's standards for human corneal transplantation and were consistent with eye banks' tissue ratings of good to excellent quality. (nih.gov)
Tissue1
With the expected decrease in the pool of eligible cornea donors in the United States and the existing shortage of corneal tissue internationally, it is encouraging that we now have scientific evidence showing that older corneas can be used reliably in corneal transplantations," said Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D., director of NIH. (nih.gov)

This Roadmap summarizes and builds on the Joint Statement and the experience gained from implementation of the earlier Action Plan to recommend strategies through which transplantation activities and the number of individuals living with a functioning transplant in Europe can be enhanced. (nature.com)
Major1
This Roadmap, generated by a group of major European stakeholders collaborating within a Thematic Network, presents an outline of the challenges to increasing transplantation rates and proposes 12 key areas along with specific measures that should be considered to promote transplantation. (nature.com)
People1
Although overall donation and transplantation activity is higher in Europe than on other continents, differences between European countries in almost every aspect of transplantation activity (for example, in the number of transplantations, the number of people with a functioning graft, in rates of living versus deceased donation, and in the use of expanded criteria donors) suggest that there is ample room for improvement. (nature.com)
Quality1
Efforts to increase transplantation rates require a variety of strategies, including approaches to increasing living and deceased donation, improving coordination of the donation and intensive care unit processes, increasing graft quality and optimizing expanded donation criteria. (nature.com)
