Microcirculatory resistance predicts allograft rejection, cardiac events after heart transplant

12 Dec 2021

Measuring the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) early after heart transplantation can predict subsequent acute allograft rejection (AAR) at 1 year and clinical events at 10 years, suggests a study. In addition, early IMR measurement identifies patients at greater risk and may guide personalized post-transplantation management.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is an effective treatment approach for blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI) in older or severely injured patients, a recent study has found. Meanwhile, open repair is a viable and important alternative for younger patients or those with unsuitable aortic anatomies.

Teplizumab keeps lid on metabolic decline in individuals at high risk of T1D

11 Dec 2021

A single course of teplizumab treatment can hamper the rapid metabolic decline in people at high risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D), even producing improvements in the metabolic state within 3 months after treatment, and this effect is sustained for at least 6 months, according to a study.
