The goal of this study is to find out if quality assessment by normothermic machine perfusion can be used to safely increase the number of usable donor livers, helping more people get transplants faster and with better results. This process keeps a donated liver working outside the body before transplantation, …
This study will test a portable virtual reality (VR) system with integrated eye tracking called Virtual Eye Rotation Vision Exercises (VERVE). The proposed VERVE platform will deliver vergence therapy in an automated manner. This research will involve 30 non-traumatic brain injury (TBI) binocularly normal (BNC) Veterans and 50 post-traumatic convergence …
Randomized clinical trial to determine the efficacy of mesh reinforcement in laparotomy closure in renal transplantation as measured by reduction in the incidence of incisional hernia at 2 years post-transplantation.
Long-term outcomes in kidney transplantation remain a significant challenge, as complications such as donor-specific antibodies (DSA), antibody-mediated rejection, infections, and cancer increasingly threaten graft and patient survival over time. The development of non-invasive biomarkers to guide the management of therapeutic immunosuppression beyond the first year post-transplantation is therefore a crucial …
This trial studies the side effects and how well allogeneic cytomegalovirus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (donor cytomegalovirus \[CMV\] specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes \[CTLs\]) or allogeneic adenovirus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (donor adenovirus-specific \[AdV\] specific CTLs) work in treating CMV or AdV reactivation or infection in participants who have undergone stem cell transplant or …
Development of renal fibrosis is the irreversible culmination of various renal diseases and independently predicts adverse outcomes. Currently renal fibrosis can only be diagnosed by performing a renal biopsy. The procedure is invasive and is limited by sampling bias. In recent years there has been a significant development in magnetic …
This clinical trial is being conducted to help liver transplant recipients safely discontinue toxic immunosuppressive drugs years after surgery. Lifelong use of these drugs is the current standard, but they come with life-threatening side effects. UCLA has pioneered this "Delayed Tolerance" approach, achieving success in numerous kidney recipients now living …
This multicentre two-phased RCT aims to evaluate implementation potential, cost-effectiveness, effectiveness, and the role of exercise intensity of a home-based exercise and physical activity intervention to improve de novo kidney transplant recipients' physical fitness, cardiovascular health, gut microbiome characteristics, and health-related quality of life. The first phase of this study …
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether molecular analysis of donor heart biopsies taken at the time of organ removal ("Time Zero") can help predict the future function and rejection risk of the transplanted heart in adult transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: …
A review of the literature has shown that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is strongly associated with an increasing degree of psychosocial impact, such as depression and anxiety and a decrease in quality of life. Therefore, while determining the psychosocial aspects of the disease gains importance, it is reported that determining …
