Spontaneous kidney allograft rupture (KAR) is a severe complication of kidney transplant. KAR occurs when no identifiable injuries noted at the time of the organ retrieval are present. KAR is associated with acute rejection, renal vein thrombosis, severe acute tubular necrosis, or trauma. In recent years, the introduction of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has provided an excellent option for kidney allograft preservation reducing the incidence of delayed graft function. On the other hand, HMP ...

In patients with end-stage renal disease, successful renal transplantation improves the quality of life and increases survival, as compared with long-term dialysis treatment. Although it long has been believed that successful kidney transplantation to a large extent solves the problem of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD), increasing evidence indicates that it only changes the phenotype of CKD-MBD. Posttransplant CKD-MBD reflects the effects of immunosuppression, previous ...

The goal of this study was to examine how IQ changes (the Flynn effect) among school-aged children in Portugal behaved over a period of 25 years (1991, 2008 and 2016) that registered major economic transformations in the country. The country's initial move to prosperity was followed by a recent move into recession, which might affect IQ gains. Changes in IQ by level of intellectual ability were also inspected. Children's scores on Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices in Portugal were compared between ...
