#BJT #SciELO #ABTO
This study analyzes the role of splenic artery embolization after liver transplantation. It is a minimally invasive and effective intervention in the treatment of serious complications, and is essential to ensure graft viability.

Study reveals family grief after #organdonation involves a dual process of loss & restoration. Donation offers comfort/meaning but doesn't erase pain, especially in traumatic deaths. Validating emotions is crucial for healthcare support.

#bereavement #MedSky #BJT @scielo.org
New review of 20 studies (2015-2025) on #kidneytransplant stents: early removal (≤14 days) significantly cuts UTI risk & bacterial colonization without increasing major complications like stenosis or leakage. Prolonged use offers no extra benefit. doi.org/10.53855/bjt...
#MedSky #BJT @scielo.org
Brazilian single-center cohort of #multivisceral #transplantation shows survival comparable to international benchmarks (66.7% at 1–3y; 53.3% at 5y), despite prolonged waiting times. Multidisciplinary postoperative care was key to recovery. doi.org/10.53855/bjt...
#MedSky #SUS #BJT @scielo.org
Study reveals strong regional disparity in organ #transplants in Northeast Brazil. Although the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) supports the largest public transplant program in the world, there are still challenges to be faced.

Why do families refuse #bone donation? 🦴
Study shows refusal peaked at 89.7% (2005) in the state of São Paulo (Brazil), then dropped to 37.1% (2020) after transplant system changes, indicating regulatory impact on family decision-making.

Renal outcomes after liver transplantation are critical.
W/in 24 mos, 20.99% of patients developed CKD, w/ a significant decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Pre-transplant serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dL was associated w/ worse renal prognosis. doi.org/10.53855/bjt...
@scielo.org
Brazil increased the absolute number of transplants in 2024, but donation effectiveness remained at 27%, which is below the target. Family refusal (46%) remains the primary barrier, limiting growth in transplants per million population.

⚖️Does legal emancipation equal true autonomy for adolescent living organ donors? Evidence suggests it does not. Ongoing neuropsychological development increases vulnerability to coercion and limits decisional autonomy in living donation. doi.org/10.53855/bjt...

🫁 Severe hypoxemia matters in liver transplantation
Patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome & PaO₂ < 45 mmHg are prioritized on the waiting list but show lower post-transplant survival, highlighting hypoxemia severity as a key prognostic factor beyond MELD/PELD.

❓Can gut microbiota modulation aid Parkinson’s disease management? Clinical studies have shown that FMT improves motor symptoms, enhances intestinal motility, and modulates dysbiosis, indicating its therapeutic potential via the gut–brain axis. doi.org/10.53855/bjt...
@scielo.org #Neuroscience
🫀 Maranhão accelerated its transplant activity after the PAT: 180 solid organ transplants, 984 corneal transplants, and the state’s first heart transplant (2025) - yet 316 still await organs and 534 corneas.

Nearly half of patients w/ Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency were diagnosed only after transplantation, based on explant analysis—strong evidence of underdiagnosis in BR. Despite this, outcomes & survival rates were comparable to other etiologies. 🔗https://doi.org/10.53855/bjt.v28i1.677_ENG

#BJT Letter to the Editor counters Neumann’s provocative text: immune memory favors diversifying selection, not just “fittest” clones. Eomes–Bcl-2 supports low-affinity T cells, broadening protection.

How does cardiac risk shape liver transplant eligibility? 🫀
The study shows the CAD-LT score is highly sensitive for predicting coronary disease and guiding when noninvasive tests or coronary angiography are needed.

In diabetic kidney transplant recipients🫘, graft function remained stable over 24 months with SGLT2i therapy, w/ no relevant increase in adverse events—indicating good tolerability & a potential nephroprotective effect.

#Maribavir offers better #cytomegalovirus infections control and fewer toxicities than standard antivirals, but resistance can still emerge, demanding close monitoring.

A study w/ ICU nurses found that while 65.9% feel prepared to care for potential organ donors, most lack recent training or direct experience. Gaps in hemodynamic, glycemic, & infection control highlight the need for continuous education & standardized protocols.
