Donor ventilation time was not linked to 1-year lung function
—
in MedicineEvidence suggests prolonged donor mechanical ventilation does not impair recipient lung function after transplant, challenging traditional donor selection practices in lung transplantation.
Donor TNFα linked to worse kidney graft outcomes
—
in MedicineHigh circulating tumor necrosis factor α in deceased organ donors associates with inferior kidney graft function and survival after transplantation through TNFR1-mediated injury mechanisms.
Donor age affects younger liver transplant recipients more
—
in SurgeryDonor age disproportionately impacts younger liver transplant recipients while older recipients tolerate older grafts well. Study provides age-based thresholds for optimized donor-recipient matching.
