Antibodies against ARHGDIB and ARHGDIB gene expression associate with kidney allograft outcomeBackground. The impact of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) on antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and kidney allograft failure is well established. However, the relevance of non-HLA antibodies remains unclear. Methods. We investigated 13 pretransplant non-HLA antibodies and their association with histology of AMR (AMRh) and kidney allograft failure. We included single kidney recipients (N=203) with...

Provider Consensus on Candidate Protective and Risk Factors for Adverse Psychosocial Outcomes Following Discharge From a PICU: A Modified Delphi StudyObjectives: Pediatric palliative care promotes interdisciplinary, family-centered care when children are faced with diagnoses threatening length and/or quality of life. A significant knowledge gap remains in how to best match pediatric palliative care resources to palliate the psychosocial impact of a PICU admission. This study was designed to identify...
Multi-frequency Electrocochleography Measurements can be Used to Monitor and Optimize Electrode Placement During Cochlear Implant SurgeryObjective: To report the use of multi-frequency intra-cochlear electrocochleography (ECOG) in monitoring and optimizing electrode placement during cochlear implant surgery. An acoustic pure tone complex comprising of 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz was used to elicit ECOG, or more specifically cochlear microphonics (CMs), responses from various locations in the cochlea....

Sexual Abuse and Future Mental Health Hospitalization in a Swedish National Sample of Men Who Use OpioidsObjective: Experiences of trauma, specifically sexual abuse, have been linked to both mental health and substance use disorders. This study used 14 years of Swedish health registry data to select a sample of adult men who reported frequent opioid use and assessed if those with a self-reported history of sexual abuse had a higher likelihood of hospitalization for a mental health disorder. Methods:...
Pain monitor: reality or fantasy in ambulatory patientsPurpose of review In an unconscious patient, there can be significant challenges to monitoring nociception and proper dosing of analgesic medications. The traditional measures of intraoperative nociception have poor sensitivity and specificity with little predictive value in postoperative outcomes such as postoperative pain, opioid-induced side effects, length of stay or incidence of opioid use disorder. To date, several monitoring modalities...
Myths about breastfeedingHussein KouraAl-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal 2019 17(2):109-113Breastfeeding is an unparalleled way of providing ideal food for healthy growth and development of the infant through its unique biological and emotional influences. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of an infant’s life, with continued breastfeeding and complementary feeding introduced after the first 6 months up to the age of 2 years. Many factors affect breastfeeding, and they can...

Very Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Sequesters Lipopolysaccharide Into Adipose Tissue During SepsisObjectives: Obese patients have lower sepsis mortality termed the “obesity paradox.” We hypothesized that lipopolysaccharide, known to be carried within lipoproteins such as very low density lipoprotein, could be sequestered in adipose tissue during sepsis; potentially contributing a survival benefit. Design: Retrospective analysis. Setting: University research laboratory. Subjects and Patients: Vldlr...
Bronchoscopy for Chronic Unexplained Cough: Use of Biopsies and Cultures Increase Diagnostic YieldBackground: Prior studies assessing the diagnostic utility of bronchoscopy for chronic unexplained cough have focused primarily on identifying endobronchial anomalies to determine chronic cough etiology. On the basis of our institutional experience, expanding bronchoscopy to include cultures and biopsies can considerably increase its diagnostic yield for identifying the etiology of chronic unexplained...
Myocardial Phosphodiesterases and their Role in cGMP RegulationCyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases comprise an 11-member superfamily yielding near 100 isoform variants that hydrolyze cAMP or cGMP to their respective 5’-monophosphate form. Each plays a role in compartmentalized cyclic nucleotide signaling, with varying selectivity for each substrate, and conveying cell and intracellular specific localized control. This review focuses on the five PDEs expressed in the cardiac myocyte capable of hydrolyzing...

The epididymal immune balance: a key to preserving male fertilityAllison Voisin, Fabrice Saez, Joël R Drevet, Rachel GuitonAsian Journal of Andrology 2019 21(6):531-539Up to 15% of male infertility has an immunological origin, either due to repetitive infections or to autoimmune responses mainly affecting the epididymis, prostate, and testis. Clinical observations and epidemiological data clearly contradict the idea that the testis confers immune protection to the whole male genital tract. As a consequence,...
