Objective To study in a masked fashion whether an objective histological feature associated with keratoconus (KCN) occurs in donor corneas in eyes originally receiving a corneal graft for KCN. Methods Two ocular pathologists performed a retrospective masked histological analysis of slides from donor buttons recovered from 21 eyes with a history of KCN undergoing repeat penetrating keratoplasty…

In the era of organ machine perfusion, experimental models to optimize reconditioning of (marginal) liver grafts are needed. Although the relevance of cytokine signatures in liver transplantation has been analyzed previously, the significance of molecular monitoring during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) remains elusive. Therefore, we developed a porcine model of cold ischemic liver graft…

A new lung allocation system was introduced in France in September 2020. It aimed to reduce geographic disparities in lung allocation while maintaining proximity. In the previous two-tiered priority-based system, grafts not allocated through national high-urgency status were offered to transplant centres according to geographic criteria. Between 2013 and 2018, significant geographic disparities…

Be careful when using bupivacaine during #cartilagerepair! A study in this month’s issue of #AJSM by @deanwangmd shows #chondrotoxity and weakening of mechanical properties in mature #cartilage #grafts after a single bupivacaine exposure. https://t.co/8Z8lrb1vdk https://t.co/vNkOt9tFL7

Recurrent #keratoconus: ✍️ Breaks in #Bowman’s layer occur in #failed #grafts with a history of keratoconus. ✍️ Breaks are found in grafts that were less than 10 years old with nearly 50% occurring less than 5 years post-transplantation. https://t.co/x7POQve1eM https://t.co/c7t4OCFVW4
