Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas E. Starzl,Noriko Murase,Kareem Abu-Elmagd,Edward A. Gray,Ron Shapiro,Bijan Eghtesad,Robert J. Corry,Mark L. Jordan,Paulo Fontes,Timothy Gayowski,Geoffrey Bond,Velma P. Scantlebury,Santosh Potdar,Parmjeet Randhawa,Tong Wu,Adriana Zeevi,Michael A. Nalesnik,J.E Woodward,Amadeo Marcos,Massimo Trucco,Anthony J. Demetris,John J. Fung +21 more
TL;DR: The striking ability to wean immunosuppression in these recipients indicates variable induction of tolerance, and systematic application of these principles should allow improvements in quality of life and long-term survival after organ transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-total human face transplantation for a severely disfigured patient in the USA
Maria Siemionow,Francis Papay,Daniel S. Alam,Steven Bernard,Risal Djohan,Chad R. Gordon,Mark Hendrickson,Robert Lohman,Bijan Eghtesad,Kathy L. Coffman,Eric Kodish,Carmen Paradis,Robin K. Avery,John J. Fung +13 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of reconstruction of severely disfigured patients in a single surgical procedure using composite face allotransplantation is shown and should be taken in consideration as an early option for severelydisfigured patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three‐dimensional print of a liver for preoperative planning in living donor liver transplantation
Nizar N. Zein,Ibrahim A. Hanouneh,Paul D. Bishop,Maggie Samaan,Bijan Eghtesad,Cristiano Quintini,Charles C. Miller,Lisa Yerian,Ryan S. Klatte +8 more
TL;DR: A protocol is developed and successfully 3D‐printed synthetic livers (along with their complex networks of vascular and biliary structures) replicating the native livers of 6 patients: 3 living donors and 3 respective recipients who underwent LDLT, to be the first complete 3D-printed livers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders in liver transplantation: a 20-year experience.
Ashok Jain,M. A. Nalesnik,Jorge Reyes,Renu Pokharna,George V. Mazariegos,Michael Green,Bijan Eghtesad,Wallis Marsh,Thomas V. Cacciarelli,Paulo Fontes,Kareem Abu-Elmagd,Rakesh Sindhi,J. Demetris,John J. Fung +13 more
TL;DR: While PTLD continues to pose problems in patients receiving liver transplants, improvements in patient survival have been observed over time and it is too early to assess the impact of new advances in prophylaxis, diagnosis, and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperammonemia in cirrhosis induces transcriptional regulation of myostatin by an NF-κB–mediated mechanism
Jia Qiu,Samjhana Thapaliya,Ashok Runkana,Yu Yang,Cynthia Tsien,Maradumane L. Mohan,Arvind Narayanan,Bijan Eghtesad,Paul Mozdziak,Christine McDonald,George Stark Stark,Stephen Welle,Sathyamangla V. Naga Prasad,Srinivasan Dasarathy +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of myostatin, a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, is increased in the cirrhotic muscle and is mediated by increased ammonia concentration, and a mechanism by which sarcopenia develops in cirrhosis patients is suggested.
