OBJECTIVE: We investigated the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to improve the success rate of fat graft myringoplasty in perforated tympanic membranes of rats.
BACKGROUND: Vascularized composite allograft (VCA), such as hand and face allograft, contains a vascularized bone component that may provide an immunologic benefit and induce tolerance for the simultaneous inclusion of marrow cells and a marrow micro...

INTRODUCTION: Serum soluble CD30 (sCD30), a 120-kD glycoprotein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, has been suggested as a marker of rejection in kidney transplant patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationsh...
BACKGROUND: Assessing the extent of inflammation in peritubular capillaries (PTCs) is important for diagnosing antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant biopsies. However, this assessment is time-consuming and suffers from interobserver variab...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The objective of this review is to provide an update on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for the histological interpretation of kidney transplant biopsies.
Liver transplant recipients (LTRs) are at risk of graft injury, leading to cirrhosis and reduced survival. Liver biopsy, the diagnostic gold standard, is invasive and risky. We developed a hybrid multi-class neural network (NN) model, 'GraftIQ,' inte...
