Personality changes have been reported following organ transplantation. Most commonly, such changes have been described among heart transplant recipients. We set out to examine whether personality changes occur following organ transplantation, and sp...
Background: When a partial liver graft is transplanted into a recipient with portal hypertension, it is subject to sinusoidal shear stress, which, in good measure, is essential for regeneration. However, portal hyperperfusion which exceeds the capaci...
Kidney transplantation is a life-saving intervention for end-stage renal disease; yet, the persistent gap between organ demand and supply remains a significant challenge. This paper explores the escalating discard rates of deceased donor kidneys in t...
Histocompatibility testing is pivotal in any renal transplantation workup, aimed at enhancing prospective donor recipient compatibility and improving transplant outcomes. The evolution and advancement of histocompatibility testing, particularly HLA t...

Background/Objectives: The growing prevalence of metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)/metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is forecasted to be over 55% by 2040, representing a significant driver of cirrhosis and highlighting de...
Cold preservation is a key component to organ procurement and transplantation. Cold preservation functions by slowing metabolic activity of procured organs and begins the period known as cold ischemic time (CIT). Reducing CIT and warm ischemic time (...
Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) is the current gold standard in kidney donation. Mini-incision open donor nephrectomy (MINI) techniques have been used extensively but have become less popular. The aim of the present study was to compare the resu...
