Cover story: This study investigated tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, therapeutic response, and adherence in liver transplant patients over 12 years. It revealed high variability in tacrolimus levels, with higher concentrations in adults and males. Adherence was significantly better in patients over 18, and certain medications influenced tacrolimus levels and variability. View this paper.

Tacrolimus Therapeutic Response, Pharmacokinetics and Adherence in Liver Transplant Recipientsby
Abstract A high intra and interindividual pharmacokinetics variability characterize Tacrolimus. Data regarding factors influencing its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in liver transplantation are limited. This study aimed to assess tacrolimus therapeutic response, pharmacokinetics and adherence in liver transplant recipients. The study was conducted at the Clinical Pharmacology Department for 12 years, from January 2009 to March 2021. We included liver transplant patients treated with tacrolimus re [...] |
A Phase I/II Randomized Trial of Higher Dose mRNA-1273 Boosters in Lung Transplant Recipientsby
Abstract Higher-dose mRNA booster vaccines have not been well studied for transplant recipients. This study evaluated the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of higher dose mRNA-1273 booster vaccines among lung transplant recipients (LTRs). This phase 1/2 open-label randomized clinical trial of higher-dose mRNA-1273 booster vaccination enrolled nineteen adult LTRs into the 50 µg (n = 8) vs. 100 µg (n = 11) groups before enrollment was terminated due to the availability of the bi [...] |
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Fanconi Anemia: Results of a Single Center with a Fludarabine-Based Conditioning Regimenby
Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) remains the only curative treatment for bone marrow failure (BMF) and hematologic complications of Fanconi anemia (FA). The evolution remains affected by the toxicity, the risk of graft failure, and clonal evolution. This study aimed to identify factors affecting outcomes in FA patients after allo-HSCT. We included FA patients who underwent allo-HSCT between January 2006 and December 2021. The conditioning regimen was cyclophosphamid [...] |
Use of Plasma-Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) in the Treatment of AcneAbstract Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the pilosebaceous units of the skin, characterized by the formation of papules, cysts, comedones, pustules, nodules, and scars. These lesions are typically located on the face and shoulders, although they can extend to the trunk, arms, and legs. In regenerative medicine, biomolecules are fundamental to tissue regeneration. The use of growth factors from autologous platelet-rich plasma emerges as a promising alternative in the treatment of acne a [...] |
