... Abstract Immunosuppression in kidney transplantation is still largely driven by center-specific protocols and adjusted according to the presence of graft dysfunction, drug toxicity or infection. Due to the current inability to titrate immunosuppression to the needs of every single patient...

... Abstract Despite impressive advances in the field of allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a significant obstacle to overcome. Whereas our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute GVHD has greatly improved, so has our knowledge...

... Abstract Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the primary cause of non-relapse-related morbidity and mortality in patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Dermatologic manifestations are common in both acute and chronic GVHD. In the acute setting, skin involvement often...

... Abstract Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious and life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Cutaneous manifestations such as lichenoid or sclerotictype skin changes have been frequently observed in these patients. UVA1 phototherapy...

... Abstract An overview of various proposed sealing procedures of the oval window proposed forstapedectomy or stapedotomy are presented. These include vein graft, adipose tissue andsubstances like Gelfoam or Merogel. The advantages and pitfalls with these materials arediscussed. ...

... Abstract Aims: Late loss of kidney grafts is an ongoing problem in the field of transplantation.This is caused by immunological and non-immunological factors, the main immunologicaldriver of rejection is the immune response against HLA molecules that differ between donorand recipient. Methods...
