Liver Transplantation
A variety of surgical and other local-regional approaches to the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are in clinical use. External beam radiation therapy is a relative newcomer to the portfolio of treatment options. Advances in planning and delivery of radiation therapy, developing in parallel with and inspiring changing paradigms of tumor management in the field of radiation oncology, have led to growing interest in radiation therapy as a viable treatment option for HCC as well as other liver tumors.

Liver Transplantation
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common form of primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, recurrent bacterial infections, and autoimmunity. Advanced chronic liver disease occurs in a subset of patients with CVID and manifests with various histological features, such as nodular regenerative hyperplasia, inflammation, fibrosis, and cholangiopathy. We present a case series characterizing the outcomes in adult patients transplanted for primary CVID-related liver disease.

Anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies are associated with worse outcomes following organ transplantation. Among sensitized pediatric heart candidates, requirement for negative donor-specific cytotoxicity crossmatch increases wait times and mortality. However, transplantation with positive crossmatch may increase post-transplant morbidity and mortality. We address this clinical challenge in a prospective, multi-center, observational cohort study of children listed for heart transplantation (CTOTC-04).

Diarrhea is the most common illness in people traveling from resource-rich to resource-limited regions of the world. Most episodes of traveler’s diarrhea (TD) are benign and self-limited, but may require extra care in immunosuppressed patients. The major associated problem is dehydration, which can be exacerbated by immunosuppressive agents.

In this study we sought to quantify hazards associated with various donor factors into a cumulative risk scoring system (the Pediatric Heart Donor Assessment Tool, or PH-DAT) to predict 1-year mortality after pediatric heart transplantation (PHT).
