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...

A significant risk following a kidney transplantation is graft loss. The Screen Reject Project has developed a Clinical Data Warehouse (CDWH) as a foundation for a clinical decision support system designed to improve the diagnosis of graft rejections...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Liver transplant (LT) recipients may succumb to graft-related pathologies, contributing to graft fibrosis (GF). Current methods to diagnose GF are limited, ranging from procedural-related complications to low accuracy. With recent...
BACKGROUND: Chronic rejection forms the leading cause of late graft loss in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. Despite improvement in short-term graft outcomes, chronic rejection impedes comparable progress in long-term graft outcomes.
Acute allograft rejection in patients undergoing renal transplantation is diagnosed through histopathological analysis of renal graft biopsies, which can be used to quantify elementary lesions. However, quantification of elementary lesions requires c...
