We sought to examine the improvement in renal function with preserved immunosuppression consequent to reducing de novo cyclosporine (CsA) doses combined with sirolimus and induction antibody treatment. 408 renal recipients treated de novo... more
Damage control laparotomy (DCL) is a lifesaving technique initially employed to minimize the lethal triad of coagulopathy, hypothermia, and acidosis. Recently, it has been recognized that DCL itself carries significant morbidity and may... more
Damage-control laparotomy (DCL) is a lifesaving technique but carries significant morbidity. If DCL is over used and the factors that predict early fascial closure have not been fully evaluated. The purpose of the current study was to... more
Recognition of trauma-induced coagulopathy by conventional coagulation testing (CCT) is limited by their slow results, incomplete characterization, and their poor predictive nature. Rapid thrombelastography (r-TEG) delivers a more... more
Renal allograft glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured at 4-month intervals for up to 1 year in 43 CsA-treated patients using x-ray fluorescence determination of plasma iohexol clearance. Study patients were divided into cohorts... more
Distribution of cadaveric donor kidneys, based upon the donor-recipient HLA match grade, remains one of the major controversies in transplantation. To determine whether matching results in fewer rejection episodes and better graft... more
