Objective: Currently, the two methods used to preserve lungs from uncontrolled donation after circulatory death-topical cooling and inflation-result in the suboptimal utilization of lungs. This study aimed to introduce an approach that combines cooling and inflation to investigate whether it improves lung conditions in a swine model, even if the lungs had been damaged with long-term warm ischemia, such as in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Methods: Donor lungs subjected to 1.

Introduction: Although uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) donors provide kidney transplants with excellent long-term survival rates, a significant percentage of grafts are eventually found not to be viable for transplantation. Capnometry during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a marker of tissue metabolism and organ perfusion. We analyzed whether capnometry values in potential uDCD donors could help to differentiate between valid (who provided at least one transplantable kidney) and futile uDCD donors (those not yielding suitable grafts for transplantation).

Infectious complications remain a significant concern in organ transplantation, and preservation fluid (PF) has been identified as a potential source of microbial contamination. However, the clinical relevance of positive PF cultures, especially in kidney transplants from uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD), is not clearly established. This study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence and clinical implications of positive PF cultures in kidney transplants from uDCD and donation after brain death (DBD) donors.

Background: The aim of our study is to share our experience with uncontrolled donation after the circulatory determination of death (uDCDD) kidney transplantation and to propose updated donor selection criteria for uDCDD programs.
Methods: A prospective study comparing kidney recipients of grafts from local uDCDD donors with recipients of grafts from local standard criteria donors after the neurological determination of death (DNDD) between 2013 and 2024. Donor acceptance was determined using a combination of 3 factors: donor age, no-flow period, and warm ischemic time (WIT).

Objective: The incidence of monozygotic twinning (MZT) increases following ART procedures. Despite numerous studies, no definitive conclusion has been reached regarding the potential etiology of MZT after fertility treatments. This study aims to analyze the possible factors influencing the incidence of MZT gestations over an 8-year period.
