Adult recipients undergoing first-time liver-only transplant from 2002 to 2021 in the United States were identified using the UNOS/OPTN database. We compared post-transplant outcomes of recipients receiving liver transplant for HEH versus other diagnoses. Survival was visualized using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using log-rank test and multivariable Cox regression.

Background Donation after circulatory death (DCD) has reemerged as a method of expanding the donor heart pool. Given the high waitlist mortality of multiorgan heart candidates, we evaluated waitlist outcomes associated with willingness to consider DCD offers and post-transplant outcomes following DCD transplant for these candidates. Methods We identified adult multiorgan heart candidates and recipients between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2023 nationally.

1 INTRODUCTION Chemical sediments are an important tool in the reconstruction of ancient environments, as their chemical and mineralogical compositions offer a glimpse into the (bio)geochemical processes that prevailed during their deposition and reworking. Authigenic chemical sediments that precipitated out of Archean (4.0–2.5 Ga) oceans can provide information about ancient marine geochemistry and early microbial life.

AbstractThe degree of cyclization, or ring index (RI), in archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids was long thought to reflect homeoviscous adaptation to temperature. However, more recent experiments show that other factors (e.g., pH, growth phase, and energy flux) can also affect membrane composition. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of carbon and energy metabolism on membrane cyclization. To do so we cultivated Acidianus sp.

Lung transplantation is accepted as a well-established and effective treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. While the number of candidates added to the waitlist continues to rise, the number of transplants performed remains limited by the number of suitable organ donors.

Thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) has recently begun being utilized in the United States for recovery of cardiothoracic allografts from some donors after circulatory death (DCD), but data on lungs recovered in this method is limited to case reports. We conducted a national retrospective review of lung transplants from DCD donors recovered using TA-NRP. Of the 434 total DCD lung transplants performed between January 2020 and March 2022, 17 were recovered using TA-NRP.
