A new milestone 🎉: my 3⃣0⃣th publication!

Published @amjtransplant, entitled:
"An interleukin 6-based genetic risk score strengthened with interleukin 10 polymorphisms associated with long-term #kidney allograft outcomes."
➡️pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36453708/

Time for a #tweetorial 🧵👇 Image
1.) Of all #kidney transplants, half are still lost in the first decade after #transplantation.

Using #genetics 🧬, we probed if interleukin 6 (IL-6) could be a target in kidney #transplantation to improve graft survival & if a genetic risk score could improve prognostication.
2.) Together with @marigaya, @VojtechPetr and colleagues from the @GTCumcg & @researchumcg, we studied the impact of IL6, IL6R, IL10, IL10RA & IL10RB 🧬variants on late graft loss by analyzing both recipient and donor DNA of >1,200 #kidney transplant‐pairs.

Την έλεγαν Έμα, βγαίνει απτο Εμμανουέλα.
Μάλλον τον παππού της τον έλεγαν Μανώλη.
Ηταν μονο 21 ετών, σπούδαζε Κτηνίατρος
στο ΑΠΘ.
Περπατούσε στο ύψος της Καμάρας στην Εγνατία
και παρασύρθηκε απο εναν ασυνείδητο οδηγό
οποίος δραπέτευσε,
δεν κάλεσε ασθενοφόρο,δεν έσκυψε
να δει αν ζει,δεν,δεν,δεν
Όπως πετάμε μια τσίχλα, ένα χαρτάκι και δεν κοιτάμε πίσω.
Φοβήθηκε λέει,δε το θελε,ηταν η κακιά η ώρα.

Αν διέσχιζε τη διάβαση
θα ζούσε λέει..
τόσο προκλητικός.
Φοβήθηκε 26 ετών μλκς
και η συνοδηγός κι αυτή ολίγιστη.
Μάλιστα, έκανε όπισθεν και τη χτύπησε δεύτερη φορά εγκαταλείποντας βαριά τραυματισμένη
στην άσφαλτο.
Ώρες μετά ξεφορτώθηκε τον αριθμό των πινακίδων κυκλοφορίας πριν τον κόμβο Ασβεστοχωρίου.
Αφού παρήλθε το
48ωρο αυτόφωρο,
ο ίδιος παρουσιάστηκε
την Πέμπτη ενώπιον της ΕΛ.ΑΣ.

Self-organizing systems have been one of the most exciting recent advances in stem cell research
However, many names & classifications are used making it challenging to convey the science
We now got together as a field to provide a nomenclature framework
Out in @Nature today👇1/9 Image

We focused on neural #organoids #assembloids & #transplantation

Our consensus is summarized in one simple figure (above) & a short text box 👇 Image

We’re just 50 days into 2022, and already…

Nuclear fusion saw another major breakthrough… a ‘huge step’ in the quest for clean energy.

A woman was cured of HIV through a breakthrough stem cell treatment.
MIT engineers created an ‘impossible’ new material… stronger than steel but as light as plastic.

An international team of scientists used supercomputers to unlock a ‘giant leap’ in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
A new ‘game-changing’ carbon capture technology could deliver a step change in our ability to remove carbon dioxide from the air.

We are lucky to have @DineeMD teach us about structural racism and health inequities in #transplantation and more importantly how she is leading the way to change this with her team! @Penn_Transplant @nutorc @KimOlthoff @LevineTxpSurg @EmilyBlumbergMD @nadimmahmud Image

#MayoIDQ Breakthrough CMV disease, while receiving valGCV prophylaxis, is concerning for over-immunosuppression, under-dosing of val GCV, and/or drug-resistant virus.

If gene sequencing shows the most common CMV gene mutation, what drug would be recommended Rx?

I request Punjab CM @capt_amarinder to prepone the paddy transplantation season to June 1 by removing the ban on transplantation of paddy till June 15 keeping in view of the severe labour shortage due to return of migrant labour to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. 1/3
#lockdownindia Image
I would also urge CM to exponentially increase #paddy transplantation machines in the State to increase mechanisation so that the labour shortage could be offset to some extent. And for the farmers willing to purchase this machinery should be given 75 % subsidy. 2/3
Further, sensing the situation State government should also permit #transplantation of PUSA 44 paddy variety which is being disallowed on the pretext that it takes 20 to 22 days more to mature than other varieties leading to high moisture content later. 3/3

(1/3) Amazing case study in the American Journal of #Transplantation:

A kidney #transplant patient was being treated for metastatic cancer using a checkpoint inhibitor, which caused the patient's immune system to reject the kidney (...)

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
(2/3) After experiencing a complete response, the patient was re-transplanted with a second kidney. This second graft was monitored for rejection using a novel #liquid #biopsy.

This is the first time, to my knowledge, a patient beat cancer and active organ rejection.
(3/3) We think liquid biopsies will fundamentally change the transplant space, allowing doctors to precisely dial #immunosuppressive medication, anticipate organ rejection, and monitor organ health, using a non-invasive approach.

Hi hi hi. We see lots of red flags on a daily basis when we review labs.

One thing we see commonly is #lymphopenia. Should we care? When can we dismiss it and when should we work it up?

Let’s find out.

- Lymphopenia assc w/ ⬆️risk of sepsis
- More common in elderly and w/ co-morbidities
- lymphs account for 20-40% of WBC, may go unnoticed when WBC checked w/o diff
- Primary- recurrent infxns in kids, CVID in adults
- Secondary-⬇️production; ⬆️destruction; hiding in tissue

1/ A short #tweetorial introducing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and typing...an important and often confusing topic in #transplantation #kidneytransplant

#FOAMed @MedTweetorials

What is an "HLA"?
2/

HLAs = cell surface proteins encoded by highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes on Ch 6 🧬

In #transplantation, HLA proteins are #polymorphic antigens ➡️ alloreactive trigger for the immune response ➡️ can ultimately lead to organ #rejection ☠️
3/ The 2 primary classes of MHC molecules are 1⃣ and 2⃣.

Class 1⃣ MHC are found on the cell surface of ALL nucleated cells + platelets. Their role is to present intracelleular peptide fragments to CD8 #Tcells
