Heart transplant candidates that are highly sensitized against human leukocyte antigens (HLA) face ongoing challenge in finding immunologically compatible donors. Desensitization strategies aimed at reducing HLA antibody titers have variable success rates. Imlifidase, a novel immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme derived from Streptococcus pyogenes has been successfully used to eliminate pre-formed antibodies in sensitized kidney transplant recipients.

At this time, she developed recurrent abdominal and urinary symptoms, which were managed empirically with antibiotics.

The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis (MGBA) offers new insights for PD treatment, as gut microbiota imbalances are linked to PD. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) shows potential to improve gut dysbiosis and has gained attention for PD treatment.
