The effects of statin administration on kidney disease outcomes remain controversial. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of statins on kidney outcomes.We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using MEDLINE (1946 to August 31, 2015), EMBASE (1966 to August 31, 2015), and the Cochrane Library database (no date restriction).Adults who were not receiving dialysis, for whom kidney disease outcomes were reported.RCTs in which statins were given ...

The cadaver organ shortage has pushed the transplant community to extend the boundaries beyond the traditional criteria used for living donor transplantation. This new liberal policy involves: (1) the type of donor, such as emotionally related individuals, the direct or indirect interchange of donors, anonymous as well as rewarded donation; (2) challenging immunological criteria, using incompatible ABO blood types and or transplantation across a positive cross-match; (3) relaxing clinical criteria ...

Nest beach selection by sea turtles at a regional scale may depend on upper shore environmental cues. Thus, the variability of sandy beach conditions, including coastal erosion rates and urban development can affect their nesting ecology. Almost half of worldwide sandy beaches are suffering from erosion and most of them are located in highly developed areas. This can lead to shore stretches with coastal squeeze and loss of habitat for beach-dependent species such as sea turtles. Understanding whether ...

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome(s) and complication(s) of subconjunctival bevacizumab treatment in patients with recurrent pterygium. Methods: This prospective case series included patients who had undergone pterygium surgery and were diagnosed with recurrent pterygium. All patients received one subconjunctival injection of 0.5 mL of bevacizumab (2.5 mg/0.1 mL). The main outcome was the change in size and clinical appearance. The clinical appearance of the pterygium was graded according ...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a frequent complication in transplant recipients, causing a high level of morbidity and mortality. We studied 203 consecutive renal transplant recipients performed between January 2000 and December 2001. Patients underwent weekly measurements of CMV pp65 antigen to assess CMV activity from the 4th to the 12th week posttransplantation. The results were reported as number of cells positive for the pp65 antigen among 105 granulocytes. In order to define a best cutoff ...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the single most frequent infectious complication in renal transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of latent and active infections with CMV during the first 3 months after kidney transplantation. From January 2000 to December 2001, 203 consecutive adult renal transplant recipients underwent weekly measurements of pp65 CMV antigen from the 4th to the 12th posttransplantation week. Latent infection (seropositivity) was found in 92% ...

Among myriads of distinct chemical modification in RNAs, the dynamic, reversible and fine-tuned methylation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent modification in eukaryotic mRNAs. This RNA mark is generated by proteins that act as m6A writers and can be reversed by proteins that act as m6A erasers. The RNA m6A modification is also mediated by another group of proteins capable of recognizing m6A that act as m6A readers. The m6A modification exerts direct control over the RNA metabolism ...

Current transplant success allows recipients with previous contraindications to transplant to have access to this procedure with more frequency and safety. The concept of high-risk patient has changed since the first stages of transplantation. In the first studies, the high-risk concept was based on probability of early graft failure or on a patient's clinical condition to cope with high perioperatory morbimortality. Later on, this concept implied immunological factors that were crucial to ensure ...

Premenopausal breast cancer (BC) is a core tumor of Li-Fraumeni (LFS) and Li-Fraumeni-like (LFL) Syndromes, predisposition disorders caused by germline mutations in TP53 gene. In the Southern and Southeastern regions of Brazil, a specific TP53 germline mutation, c.1010G>A (p.Arg337His), was identified at a population frequency of 0.3%, the highest value ever described for a TP53 germline variation. In Brazilian BC patients, carrier frequency can vary from 0.5% to 8.7%. The current study assessed carrier ...

RENAL transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal failure. However, the recipient needs a lifelong intake of immunosuppressive medication for the long-term success of the transplantation. There is a growing awareness of patient noncompliance with immunosuppression, which can result in rejection and graft loss. Recent data show rates of noncompliance ranging from less than 5% to more than 45%; it depends on time posttransplant and evaluation method. Noncompliance is one of the ...

The present review discusses the measurement of adherence in transplant recipients and strategies to improve adherence.Since adherence research is not confined to transplant recipients, our literature review included studies relevant to transplant recipients as well as adherence to medical recommendations more generally. We reviewed manuscripts in the English language indexed in PubMed Central, as ...
