The Long Term Impact of Coronary Artery Disease in Lung Transplantation
Introduction Lung transplantation (LTX) is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in transplant candidates raises concerns about long-term outcomes. A recent study explores the impact of CAD on lung transplant recipients, highlighting key survival factors. Visit https://www.cardiologymedjournal.com/jccm for more research insights.

The Impact of Weight-Based Mycophenolate Mofetil Dosing
Introduction Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) plays a crucial role in post-kidney transplant immunosuppression. However, standard fixed dosing may not be ideal for all patients. A recent study evaluated a weight-based MMF dosing protocol to determine its safety and efficacy compared to a fixed-dose approach. Visit Clinical Nephrology Journal for more research updates in nephrology. Key Findings…

Equine Anti-Thymocyte Globulin ATGAM as an Alternative in Patients with Serum Sickness from Thymoglobulin
Introduction Thymoglobulin, a widely used rabbit-derived anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), is a critical component in induction immunosuppression therapy for high-risk kidney transplant recipients. However, its use can sometimes trigger serum sickness, an immune-mediated reaction that causes fever, rash, and joint pain. A recent case study explores the successful administration of equine-derived ATGAM in a patient with…
