Recommended practices that follow match-run sequences for hard-to-place kidneys succumb to many declines, accruing cold ischemic time and exacerbating kidney quality that may lead to unnecessary kidney discard. Hard-to-place deceased donor kidneys ac...
Interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and inflammation are major contributors to kidney allograft failure. Here we sought an objective, quantitative pathological assessment of these lesions to improve predictive utility and constructed a deep-learn...
The complexity of transplant medicine pushes the boundaries of innate, human reasoning. From networks of immune modulators to dynamic pharmacokinetics to variable postoperative graft survival to equitable allocation of scarce organs, machine learning...
Efforts at finding potential biomarkers of tolerance after kidney transplantation have been hindered by limited sample size, as well as the complicated mechanisms underlying tolerance and the potential risk of rejection after immunosuppressant withdr...
Allele specific antibody response against the polymorphic system of HLA is the allogeneic response marker determining the immunological risk for graft acceptance before and after organ transplantation and therefore routinely studied during the patien...
BACKGROUND: Despite high success rates, flap failure remains an inherent risk in microvascular breast reconstruction. Identifying patients who are at high risk for flap failure would enable us to recommend alternative reconstructive techniques. Howev...

BACKGROUND: Cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) promotes the survival of fat grafts with high vascular density and improves skin quality by increasing collagen content. However, no study has quantified the changes on the skin surface, and rigorous metho...
A mechanism to predict graft failure before the actual kidney transplantation occurs is crucial to clinical management of chronic kidney disease patients. Several kidney graft outcome prediction models, developed using machine learning methods, are...

BACKGROUND: In Mexico, out of the total number of transplants it was reported, in 2014, a frequency of 29% of deceased donor renal transplantation (DDRT). The use of kidneys from deceased elderly donors is increasing over the years. Currently, some a...
This paper introduces a deep-learning based computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for the early detection of acute renal transplant rejection. For noninvasive detection of kidney rejection at an early stage, the proposed CAD system is based on the f...
