While older recipients of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) appear to suffer from worse mortality outcomes, such deficiency may be attributable to clinical confounders, a recent study has found. In controlled analysis, older and younger patients show comparable long-term survival following LDLT.

Delayed tacrolimus dose reduction plus basiliximab yields better kidney function after liver transplant

A delayed dose reduction of tacrolimus, along with induction of basiliximab, helps suppress kidney injury in liver transplant recipients, as opposed to standard-dose tacrolimus, a recent study has found. Such benefits come with no excess risk of rejection, graft loss, or death.

Magnesium deficiency may be indicator of prediabetes

People with prediabetes seem to have lower circulating levels of serum magnesium than healthy counterparts, a new meta-analysis has found, suggesting that magnesium deficiency may be an easy indicator of prediabetes risk.

Vitamin A supplement reduces bronchopulmonary dysplasia risk in very-preterm infants

Supplementation with vitamin A reduces the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants, but the benefit appears to be limited to those with baseline intake <1,500 IU · kg−1 · d−1 and is not affected by the administration route, a study has found.

Breast cancer survivors at greater risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Exacerbation history, along with the presence of severe dyspnoea and maintenance treatment use, is associated with an increased risk of future exacerbation episodes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a study has found.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), particularly follicular and mature T/NK-cell lymphomas, is more likely to develop among patients with breast cancer, a recent study has found. Moreover, such risk is greater among those who had been treated with hormone therapy.

Long-term growth hormone exposure poses no risk of insulin resistance in kids born SGA

In children born small for gestational age (SGA), long-term treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) does not carry an excess risk of insulin resistance, according to 10-year data from a study.

Chronic air pollution exposure ups MAFLD risk

Prolonged exposure to ambient air levels of particulate matter ≤1 µm (PM1), ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5), and ≤10 µm (PM10), as well as of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), appears to aggravate the likelihood of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), a recent study has found.
