DOI: 10.1007/s11748-021-01591-8
Abstract: Brain-dead donor lung transplantation frequently requires reduction in the size of oversized lung grafts for patients with a small chest cavity. We focused on the role of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) volumetry for recipients on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2022.2141646
Abstract: Abstract Objectives Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple parameter implying the inflammatory status. We aimed to explore the association of brain-dead donor NLR change with delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant recipients. Methods We… read more here.

Abstract: Frank Miller and I recently argued that the common assertion that ‘brain dead’ patients merely appear to be alive, though in reality are dead, is false.1 This assertion relies on an inaccurate and overly simplistic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/ti.2022.10364
Abstract: Brain death-induced cytokine storm is thought to harm transplantable organs. However, longer procurement times have been associated with non-inferior or better outcomes in kidney, heart, and lung transplants, while optimal procurement time for liver allografts… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/ti.2023.11186
Abstract: Organ donation after brain death is constantly lower in Germany compared to other countries. Instead, representative surveys show a positive attitude towards donation. Why this does not translate into more donations remains questionable. We retrospectively… read more here.

DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2017.6609
Abstract: A large number of previous clinical studies have reported a delayed graft function for brain dead donors, when compared with living relatives or cadaveric organ transplantations. However, there is no accurate method for the quality… read more here.
