Transplant Headquarters: Book Review: Intestinal Failure: Diagnosis, Management, and Transplantation
http://transplantheadquarters.blogspot.com/2011/12/book-review-intestinal-failure.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Book Review: Intestinal Failure: Diagnosis, Management, and Transplantation. Intestinal transplantation is probably the most esoteric area of organ transplantation, so learning anything about it can be nearly impossible. The occasional article or meeting isn't nearly enough to get an overall picture of the field, so I was glad to find a book about it called Intestinal Failure: Diagnosis, Management and Transplantation.

Transplant Headquarters: St. Louis Children's Hospital
http://transplantheadquarters.blogspot.com/2011/07/st-louis-childrens-hospital.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2011. St Louis Children's Hospital. I spent the past couple weeks shadowing/observing at St. Louis Children's Hospital. I'm still not at all clear on the best practices for blogging about clinical experiences, so this post will be pretty short and far from a complete recap. Let's just say that they have the largest pediatric heart. And lung transplant programs. In the country, and that may have been a motivation for my visit. Thank you, St. Louis. Posted by Manu Varma.

Thursday, December 29, 2011. Transplant Immunosuppression on Step 1. Like any workaholic second-year medical student, I'm spending part of the holiday break studying for Step 1 of the boards (the standardized Big Test after the first two years of medical school). But since it is supposed to be a vacation, I felt justified in studying a more familiar topic, so transplant immunosuppression it is. Cyclosporine, azathioprine, and OKT3 are commonly used immunosuppressants. There's more to worry about than the...

Transplant Headquarters: Adult Kidney Donors for Pediatric Recipients
http://transplantheadquarters.blogspot.com/2012/01/adult-kidney-donors-for-pediatric.html
Thursday, January 19, 2012. Adult Kidney Donors for Pediatric Recipients. The idea of using kidneys from children for transplants in other children sounds like common sense, and it was a standard practice in the 1980s, but the complications were quickly discovered and adult kidneys became the preferred donated organs. This change in practice was followed by a change in UNOS policy. Posted by Manu Varma. March 22, 2012 at 3:50 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. I Am, Are You?

Saturday, February 9, 2013. In the past four weeks, I. Scrubbed in on kidney transplants, liver transplants, living donor operations, and organ procurements. Rounded on a kidney transplant service 13 years to the day after receiving one myself. Got in way over my head in the OR. Told a patient that the lump in their neck was probably cancerous. Plowed through a 1,000 page pediatric hepatology textbook. Lived in New York for the first time and realized why it's one of a kind (in a good way! I Am, Are You?

Transplant Headquarters: Amelia Rivera
http://transplantheadquarters.blogspot.com/2012/01/amelia-rivera.html
Saturday, January 14, 2012. Amelia (Mia) Rivera is a young girl with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Who had an appointment at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia last week and met their transplant team. The understatement of the century would be to say that it didn't go well! An organ transplant evaluation denied due to developmental disabilities. Again. This was one of the first stories on this blog. And a multicenter clinical trial of kidney and liver transplants in HIV. I'm not sure how the story will ...
