Welcome to the Brazilian Journal of Transplantation, an open-access journal focusing on organ transplants and related topics.
🌎A study involving data from 10 countries reveals that the #COVID19 pandemic reduced organ donation and transplantation rates between 2019 and 2020. In Brazil, recovery was minimal in 2021, highlighting the challenges of resuming these activities. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #TransplantSky @scielo.org
📱How do we educate those who received a new liver? A review of 14 studies shows that apps, text messages, mentoring, and videos support treatment adherence and monitoring. But no study has validated these technologies, and Brazilian research is lacking. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org
#REDCap validation in Human Tissue Banks! Study proves technical compliance with RDC 707/2022 (Anvisa): traceability via audit trails, access control, and data contingency. Scalable solution for #biobanks. 📊🔒 doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #TransplantSky #MedSky
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed a drastic setback on kidney transplant programs in Brazil, but post-pandemic indicators reveal a partial and heterogeneous recovery of the National Transplant System. 🆓 doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #MedSky #TransplantSky #covid19 @scielo.org
Silvano Raia: an intelligence beyond #surgery. His career combined multiple intelligences, innovation, and leadership, from the 1st successful liver #transplant in Latin America (1985) to living-donor transplantation (1988), #xenotransplantation, and pig cloning. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org
🫀 What if information could also save lives? In Ji-Paraná, Brazil, the Dotoal Project brought education on organ, tissue, and bone marrow donation to 1,660 people in person and 23,228 social media accounts. 📢 Information → dialogue → awareness. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #transplantsky @scielo.org

🦷 This review identified a high frequency of periodontal disease, caries, infections, gingival hyperplasia, and stomatitis in transplant recipients, in addition to inadequate oral hygiene and unmet needs for dental treatments. 🔓https://doi.org/10.53855/bjt.v29i1.764_ENG @scielo.org #TransplantSky
How can future healthcare professionals be taught about organ donation and transplantation? This paper presents a mapping of the educational technologies and strategies used to teach organ donation and transplantation to undergraduate healthcare students. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky
An in silico #pharmacogenomic study identified donor CYP3A5 as the main determinant of post-liver transplant #diabetes risk. The *1 allele was associated with higher #tacrolimus doses and increased PTDM risk, supporting precision medicine strategies. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky
🧊Prolonged cold ischemia time is consistently associated with #kidney graft dysfunction, particularly delayed graft function, by intensifying ischemia–reperfusion injury and oxidative stress. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #TransplantSky @scielo.org
A persistent drop in platelets after the 5th day of a liver transplant causes mortality to jump from 2% to 18%! It is a warning sign of systemic failure. Transfusing indiscriminately can worsen the condition. Read the open-access article at doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky #TransplantSky
🏥 Integrative review shows infections are a frequent complication in immunosuppressed #transplant recipients. #Nursing interventions (education, care bundles, and antimicrobial stewardship reduced infections, but evidence remains limited and heterogeneous. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org
3D models of kidneys for transplantation show high accuracy and strong correlation with actual measurements (R=0.91 artery; R=0.85 vein). Bland-Altman analysis confirmed acceptable agreement, validating their use in preoperative vascular surgical planning. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org
👁️Regional inequalities compromise the efficient use of scleral tissue for transplantation in Brazil. While the MW, SE, and S achieve greater efficiency, the N and NE experience higher tissue losses and lower therapeutic use. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky #TransplantSky #BJT
🤰A review of 45 studies shows that pregnancy after solid organ transplantation can be safe when it is carefully planned, graft function is stable, at least 12 months have elapsed since transplantation, and mycophenolate has been discontinued. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky #pregnancy
🧠A brainstem glioma in a kidney transplant recipient showed sustained regression after empirical radiotherapy. This case highlights the importance of neurological surveillance and multidisciplinary management in immunosuppressed patients. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky #TransplantSky
⁉️What if liver transplantation were no longer considered a contraindication, but instead became a viable treatment option for patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases? Read for free at doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #MedSky #TransplantSky #OncoSky @scielo.org
Not all #gastrointestinal complications after heart transplantation carry the same clinical significance. While they are more common in 👶pediatric patients, they can be far more lethal in 🧑adults. 🔗https://doi.org/10.53855/bjt.v29i1.780_ENG #MedSky #CardioSky #TransplantSky @scielo.org
🫁 Study of 75 Brazilian LT recipients for #hepatopulmonarysyndrome (2012-2024): 72.7% survival at 1 year, 63.6% at 3 years. No significant differences by sex, race, or liver disease etiology. Cox model found no independent mortality predictors. #MedSky doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org
The results of this study reinforce that physical rehabilitation programs after liver transplantation can contribute not only to functional recovery but also to essential aspects of patients' quality of life and well-being. 💚 doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org #MedSky #transplantsky #BJT
What poses the greatest challenge in a transplant patient's journey: the surgery itself or access to care? A Brazilian study found that 26% of hospitalized transplant patients needed specialized navigation support. Discover why 🔗 doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #MedSky #Transplantsky @scielo.org
🧠 More than 72,000 people were waiting for a transplant in Brazil in 2025. Yet a shortage of qualified professionals can delay the Brain Death Protocol - the critical step that makes organ donation possible. Faster diagnosis means more lives saved. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... @scielo.org
❄️A systematic review found that liver grafts exposed to >8 hours of cold ischemia had more transfusions, longer ICU stays, higher costs, & poorer early recovery. Even advanced preservation technologies only partially offset the damage. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #MedSky#transplantsky #BJT @scielo.org
Can a kidney graft fail because of a genetic disease that remained undiagnosed for decades? A case report in kidney transplantation describes how late graft dysfunction led to the diagnosis of Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1), a rare inherited metabolic disorder. @scielo.org #transplantsky
Beyond the SARS-CoV-2 virus, ICU overload impacted post-brain de@th transplants. A review by physicians shows that the drop in donations was logistical: beds were scarce, processing times skyrocketed, & donor clinical instability increased. doi.org/10.53855/bjt... #COVID19 #MedSky @scielo.org
