Abstract
We evaluated the value of pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) in predicting the risk for postcontrast acute kidney injury (PCAKI), an important complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Medical records of 839 ACS patients underwent PCI between June 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: PCAKI (-) and PCAKI (+). PCAKI was defined as a ≥ 0.5 mg/dL and/or a ≥ 25% increase in serum creatinine within 72 h after PCI. The PIV was computed as [neutrophils × platelets × monocytes]÷lymphocytes. The mean age was 60.7 ± 12.9 years. PCAKI was detected in 105 (12.51%) patients. PIV was higher in the PCAKI (+) group compared to PCAKI (-) group (median 1150, interquartile range [IQR] 663-2021 vs median 366, IQR 238-527, p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the best cutoff of PIV for predicting PCAKI was 576 with 81% sensitivity and 80% specificity. PIV was superior to neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio for the prediction of PCAKI (area under curve:0.894, 0.849 and 0.817, respectively, p < 0.001 for all). A high PIV was independently correlated with PCAKI (≤576 vs. >576, odds ratio [OR] 12.484, 95%confidence interval [CI] 4.853-32.118, p < 0.001) together with older age (OR 1.058, p = 0.009), female gender (OR 4.374, p = 0.005), active smoking (OR 0.193, p = 0.012), left ventricular ejection fraction (OR 0.954, p = 0.021), creatinine (OR 10.120, p < 0.001), hemoglobin (OR 0.759, p = 0.019) and c-reactive protein (OR 1.121, p = 0.002). In conclusion, a high PIV seems to be an easily assessable tool that can be used in clinical practice for predicting the risk of PCAKI in ACS patients implanted drug-eluting stents.

Abstract
Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors, with an incidence of 36% to 41% among benign bone tumors. They can be caused by genetics, trauma, and growth defects. The incidence of all osteochondromas in the hands and feet is approximately 10%, and they are extremely rare in the calcaneus. They generally arise from the metaphysis and metaphyseal-diaphyseal region of the long bones. Osteochondromas, which are generally painless, are noted with signs of inflammation in the bursa, vascular and nerve compression, pain caused by joint deterioration, swelling in the subcutaneous tissue, or gait disturbance. The incidence of malignant transformation of solitary osteochondromas is 1%. We present two cases, an 11-year-old male patient and a 32-year-old male patient, diagnosed with osteochondroma in the calcaneus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Co-existing chronic total occlusion (CTO) in a non-infarct-related artery (IRA) might serve as an important trigger of adverse outcomes in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Therefore, we planned to analyse the potential impact of non-IRA CTO on the evolution of contrast-associated nephropathy (CAN) in STEMI patients managed with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI). METHODS A total of 537 subjects with STEMI undergoing P-PCI during the first 12 h after the onset of their symptoms were enrolled in this retrospective study. The subjects were categorised based on the angiographic presence of non-IRA CTO. Moreover, the subjects were also divided into 2 groups based on their CAN status following P-PCI (CAN (+) and CAN (-)). RESULTS Co-existing non-IRA CTO was demonstrated in 86 subjects (16%). During the hospitalisation period, we identified 81 (15.1%) subjects with CAN. Subjects with non-IRA CTO had a significantly higher incidence of CAN compared with those without (56 [12.4%] vs 25 [29.1%], respectively, p < 0.001). In a logistic regression analysis, an existing non-IRA CTO (odds ratio: 2.840, 95%CI: 1.451-5.558, p = 0.002), as well as age, haemoglobin, diabetes mellitus, creatinine, and white blood cell count, were independent of predictors of CAN. CONCLUSION In STEMI patients managed with P-PCI, a co-existing non-IRA CTO had an independent association with the evolution of CAN.

Abstract
Aim In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of sCD163 / tumor necrosis factor-like weak apoptosis-inducing (TWEAK) ratio in cardiac remodeling in non-elderly patients diagnosed with first acute myocardial infarction (MI).Material and Methods Forty-four patients (age ranges: 40–64 years) diagnosed with first-time acute ST-elevation MI in the emergency department were evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Adverse remodeling (AR) was defined the increases of left ventricular end-diastolic volume by ≥12 % by CMR at 6‑month post-MI TWEAK and sCD163 were measured at the first day (baseline), 2 weeks and 6 weeks post-MI.Results The average age of patients included in the study was 53.6±5.1 years. AR was detected in 18 patients at the 6 months post-MI. At the first day post-MI, median sCD163 concentration (116 069 vs 86 394 pg / mL, p=0.040) and median TWEAK concentration (759.4 vs 220.1 pg / mL, p<0.001) were higher in AR group compared to group without AR (the non-AR group), median sCD163 / TWEAK ratio (101.4 vs. 406.8; p<0.001) was lower. At the first day post-MI, concentrations of TWEAK and sCD163 showed a positive correlation in AR group and group without AR s. At 2 weeks post-MI, positive correlation continued in the non-AR group, but no significant correlation was found in the AR group. At the first day post-MI, sCD163 / TWEAK ratio was higher diagnostic performance compared to TWEAK and sCD163.Conclusion In the early phase post-MI, the relationship between sCD163 – TWEAK may have an important role in AR pathogenesis. A lower sCD163 / TWEAK ratio on the first day after MI was associated with an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume after 6 months of follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prealbumin has been a reliable marker to predict protein energy malnutrition and hypercatabolic state. In this analysis, we particularly aimed to investigate the potential association between serum prealbumin levels and right ventricular dysfunction in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis. METHODS A total of 57 subjects were included in the analysis. The subjects were then categorized into two groups: right ventricular dysfunction (n=18) and non-right ventricular dysfunction (n=39) groups. In all patients, detailed transthoracic echocardiography (following hemodialysis) were performed along with the evaluation of complete blood count, routine biochemistry parameters, and, in particular, serum prealbumin levels. RESULTS Mortality rate at 3 years was found to be significantly higher in the right ventricular dysfunction group (p=0.042). Serum prealbumin levels were also significantly lower in the right ventricular dysfunction group compared with the non-right ventricular dysfunction group (23.83±8.50 mg/dL versus 31.38±6.81 mg/dL, p=0.001). In the receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, a prealbumin cutoff value of <28.5 mg/dL was found to predict right ventricular dysfunction, with a sensitivity of 67% and a specificity of 62% (area under the curve: 0.744). In the correlation analysis, a moderate yet significant positive correlation was demonstrated between serum prealbumin and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (r=0.365, p=0.005). CONCLUSION This study suggests that low serum prealbumin might serve as a potential predictor of right ventricular dysfunction (and its clinical consequences) in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship of serial interferon (IFN) measurements and adverse cardiac remodeling (AR) after myocardial infarction (MI). STUDY DESIGN Observational multi-centre study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Departments of Cardiology of Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital, Ataturk Training and Research Hospital, Numune Training and Research Hospital, and Dr. Nafiz Sincan Korez State Hospital, Turkey, from June 2015 to June 2020. METHODOLOGY Forty-seven patients with acute MI were included. IFN levels were measured on the first day and at 14 days and 45 days post-MI. Reverse cardiac remodeling (RR) and AR were defined as the reduction of left ventricular end-diastolic volume by ≥12% and increases of ≥12% by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at the 6-month follow-up. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. RESULTS Median IFN-α (50.1 vs. 34.8 pg/mL, p=0.035), IFN-β (39.1 vs. 23.0 pg/mL, p=0.013), and IFN-γ (26.7 vs. 18.5 pg/mL, p=0.023) levels on the first day post-MI were higher in the AR group compared to the RR group. At 14 days post-MI, IFN levels had decreased in the AR group, while they had not changed in the RR group. At 45 days post-MI, IFN levels were similar between the AR and RR groups. High IFN-α level on the first-day post-MI was an independent predictor of AR (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.06-1.43, p=0.008). CONCLUSION High IFN levels in the acute phase post-MI are associated with AR. Among IFNs, IFN-α is an important predictor of AR. Stable IFN levels appear to be associated with cardiac healing. KEY WORDS Cardiac remodeling, Interferons, Inflammation, Myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Tissue structure in the infarct and remote zone myocardium post-acute myocardial infarction (MI) may offer prognostic information concerning left ventricular remodeling. We aimed to identify or establish a relationship between adverse remodeling (AR) and changes (Δ) in T1, T2 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) in post MI periods. Fifty-four MI patients underwent 3 Tesla CMR performed 2 weeks (acute phase) and 6 months post-MI. We measured T1 mapping with MOLLI sequences and T2 mapping with TrueFISP sequences. Hematocrit was quantified in scanning time. ECV was performed post-gadolinium enhancement. AR was defined as an increase of ≥ 10% in left ventricular end-diastolic volume in 6 months. In the acute phase post-MI, high T2 relaxation times of the infarct and remote zone myocardium were associated with AR (OR 1.15, p = 0.023 and OR 1.54, p = 0.002, respectively). There was a decrease in T2 relaxation times of the remote zone myocardium at 6 months in patients with AR (42.0 ± 4.0 vs. 39.0 ± 3.5 ms, p < 0.001), while insignificant difference was found in patients without AR. Increased ΔECV (%) and decreased remote ΔT2 values were associated with AR (OR 1.04, p = 0.043 and OR 0.77, p = 0.007, respectively). The diagnostic performance analysis in predicting AR showed that acute-phase remote T2 was similar to that of remote ΔT2 (p = 0.875) but was superior to that of ΔECV (%) (ΔAUC: 0.19 ± 0.09, p = 0.038). In both acute phase and change of 6 months post-MI, the T2 relaxation times in remote myocardium are independently associated with AR, and this suggests higher inflammation in the remote myocardium in the AR group than the other group, even though no significant pathophysiological difference was observed in the healing of the infarct zone between both groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) previously known as contrast-induced nephropathy is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a simple index comprised of serum albumin level and lymphocyte count which reflects the immunonutritional-inflammatory status. Recently, clinical studies have shown associations between the PNI and clinical outcomes in several cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to assess the possible utilization of the PNI to predict the development of CA-AKI after primary PCI. METHODS We retrospectively included 836 patients (mean age 58 ± 12 years, 76% men) with STEMI treated with primary PCI. The PNI was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (per mm3). The patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not CA-AKI developed. RESULTS The overall incidence of CA-AKI was 9.4%. Compared to the patients without CA-AKI, those with CA-AKI had a significantly lower PNI value (40.7 ± 3.7 vs. 35.2 ± 4.9; p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal cutoff value of the PNI to predict CA-AKI was 38, with 82% sensitivity and 70% specificity (area under the curve 0.836, p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, PNI < 38, body mass index and creatinine were independently associated with CA-AKI (odds ratio 11.275, 95% confidence interval 3.596-35.351; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The PNI was inversely and significantly associated with the development of CA-AKI in acute STEMI. Assessing PNI at admission may be useful for early risk stratification of STEMI patients.

Abstract
Computational knowledge acquired from noisy networks is not reliable and the network topology determines the reliability. Protein-protein interaction networks have uncertain topologies and noise that contain false positive and false negative edges at high rates. In this study, we analyze effects of the existing mutations in a network topology to the diffusion state of that network. To evaluate the sensitivity of the diffusion state, we derive the fitness measures based on the mathematically defined stability of a network. Searching for an influential set of edges in a network is a difficult problem. We handle the computational challenge by developing a novel metaheuristic optimization method and we find influential mutations time-efficiently. Our experiments, conducted on both synthetic and real networks from public databases, demonstrated that our method obtained better results than competitors for all types of network topologies. This is the first-time that the diffusion has been evaluated under topological mutations. Our analysis identifies significant biological results about the stability of biological - synthetic networks and diffusion state. In this manner, mutations in protein-protein interaction network topologies have a significant influence on the diffusion state of the network. Network stability is more affected by the network model than the network size.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) is a prototype of pentraxin proteins that have been shown to be involved in acute phase response. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PTX-3 levels and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) disease, and to evaluate PTX-3 as a novel diagnostic marker of FMF. METHOD Forty-three male patients diagnosed with FMF and 42 healthy individuals were included in the study. Patients with other inflammatory diseases and patients who used drugs having anti-inflammatory properties were excluded from the research. Blood samples were obtained during both attack and attack-free periods. RESULTS Patient attack periods were confirmed by combining physical examination and elevation of acute phase reactants. Acute phase reactants were significantly higher in attack versus attack-free periods (p < 0.01), however PTX-3 levels were not significantly different between the two periods. Additionally, PTX-3 levels in FMF patients were higher than in controls in both attack (917.29 ± 725.29 vs 451.83 ± 291.95, p < 0.01) and attack-free periods (748.23 ± 487.53 vs 451.83 ± 291.95, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION In this study, we showed that PTX-3 levels, in both FMF attack and attack-free periods, were significantly higher than in the control group. Finally, PTX-3 may be a promising biomarker for FMF diagnosis and may predict FMF attacks (Tab. 2, Fig. 2, Ref. 18).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between prodromal angina (PA) with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS The study group included 145 patients with STEMI who underwent emergency coronary angiography (CA) within 24hours of symptom onset. Data were collected regarding whether patients had experienced PA before acute myocardial infarction. Seventy-three (73) patients (50.3%) had prodromal angina. Prodromal angina positive and negative groups were compared for demographic characteristics, complete blood count parameters including NLR, blood biochemistry parameters and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). RESULTS Neutrophil count, NLR, and troponin I levels were significantly higher in the PA negative group. LVEF after reperfusion and lymphocyte count were lower in the PA negative group. In multivariate regression analysis, NLR (β=-0.419, p<0.001) and LVEF (β=0.418, p<0.001) were found to be significantly associated with the presence of PA in STEMI patients. CONCLUSIONS Absence of PA was significantly and independently associated with increased NLR and impaired LVEF after reperfusion, and increased NLR was found as a significant predictor for both lack of PA and impaired LVEF in STEMI patients.

Abstract
AIM Procalcitonin (PCT) is an inflammatory marker and elevated PCT levels are associated with cardiovascular events. We assessed whether PCT level is an independent predictor of bare-metal stent (BMS) in-stent restenosis (ISR). PATIENTS & METHODS We evaluated 240 patients undergoing BMS implantation. Serum PCT levels were measured before procedure. Patients were classified as ISR(-) group (n = 120) and ISR(+) group (n = 120). RESULTS Serum PCT levels were higher in the ISR (+) group (p < 0.001). At multivariate analysis, PCT (odds ratio [OR] 1.561; p = 0.012), stent length (OR: 1.089), stent diameter (OR: 0.141) and uric acid (OR: 1.465) were independent predictors of ISR. CONCLUSION Serum PCT is independently associated with ISR and increased PCT levels may provide useful information for the risk of BMS-ISR.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between coronary collateral circulation (CCC) grade and serum IGF-1 levels in patients diagnosed with stable coronary artery disease. Methods: Totally, 190 consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography were included in this study. Results: The patients with good CCC had significantly higher IGF-1 levels compared with the poor ones. On the contrary, hs-CRP was significantly lower in the good CCC group. We also demonstrated that IGF-1 level was significantly related with the grade of CCC. Conclusion: We believe that measurement of IGF-1 level may help clinicians for predicting CCC development.

Abstract
We investigated the relationship between endocan (a marker of systemic inflammation) and the development of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) as evaluated by coronary angiography in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris. A total of 90 patients (32 poor CCC and 58 good CCC) were included in this study. Endocan levels were determined using a commercially available sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit with high sensitivity and specificity for detection of human endocan. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, low endocan levels were independently associated with good CCC ( P < .001). Moreover, low high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were also independently associated with good CCC ( P = .020). We found an optimal cutoff point for endocan of 1.7 ng/mL; it predicted the presence of good CCC with a sensitivity of 72.4% and specificity of 65.6% ( P < .001). The results of the present study suggest that measurement of endocan level may help clinicians to predict the development of CCC in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Abstract
[Purpose] Our purpose was to create awareness among of social rehabilitation at the university and in local governments, to identify gaps in social rehabilitation, and to increase the effectiveness of social rehabilitation. [Subjects and Methods] This study included stroke patients undergoing physical rehabilitation from the stroke outpatient clinic (43 patients) and the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Home Care Service (101 patients); face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect patient information regarding nutritional status. In addition, baseline functional independence measure (FIM) scores at baseline and during three months of follow-up were also compared. [Results] The average FIM motor scores at three months did not differ significantly between the home and hospital treatment groups. However, there were significant differences in baseline FIM motor and cognitive scores and three-month follow-up scores as well as average FIM total baseline scores between groups. In addition, month-to-month analysis of changes in FIM values between the two groups also revealed significant differences. [Conclusion] The results of our study were concordant with those of previous studies of stroke patients receiving rehabilitation, in demonstrating improved patient functional and cognitive capacity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate an easily available inflammatory and oxidative stress marker and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) in patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE). The study population included 405 patients of which 135 patients had isolated CAE, 135 patients had obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), and 135 patients had normal coronary angiograms (NCAs). The severity of isolated CAE was determined according to the Markis classification. The MHR was significantly greater in patients with isolated CAE than those with obstructive CAD and NCAs: 14.8 (11.6 to 19.8), 11.4 (9.6 to 13.5), 9.8 (7.5 to 11.9), respectively. Linear regression analyses showed that MHR and C-reactive protein were significantly related with the severity of isolated CAE. In conclusion, the MHR is significantly greater in patients with CAE compared to controls with obstructive CAD and NCAs, and MHR is associated with the severity of CAE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between endocan levels with the presence of slow coronary flow (SCF). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 88 patients, who admitted to our hospital, were included in this study. Of these, 53 patients with SCF and 35 patients with normal coronary flow were included in the final analysis. Coronary flow rates of all patients were determined by the Timi Frame Count (TFC) method. RESULTS In correlation analysis, endocan levels revealed a significantly positive correlation with high sensitive C-reactive protein and corrected TFC. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the endocan levels were found as independently associated with the presence of SCF. Finally, using a cutoff level of 2.3, endocan level predicted the presence of SCF with a sensitivity of 77.2% and specificity of 75.2%. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our study showed that higher endocan levels were significantly and independently related to the presence of SCF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frontal sinuses are 2 irregular cavities, placed between 2 lamina of frontal bone. Expansion continues during childhood and reaches full size after puberty. Persistent metopic suture is one of the factors that are related to abnormal frontal sinus development. In this study, we want to discuss about the coexistence of persistent metopic suture and abnormal frontal sinus development using radiological techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospectively planned study, images of 631 patients were examined, 217 (34.4%) of them were men and 414 (65.6%) of them were women. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance images were retrieved from the electronic archive for analysis. RESULTS In this study, frontal sinus development is categorised as right side atrophy, left side atrophy, bilateral atrophy and bilaterally developed sinuses. The presence of metopic suture was accepted as persistent metopic suture. Frontal sinus atrophy was found in 22.7% and persistent metopic sutures were found in 9.7% of overall. CONCLUSIONS In this study, no significant results were detected that were relatedto the frontal sinus agenesis or dismorphism associated with persistent metopicsuture. We conclude that, although publications propounding metopism thatleads to abnormal frontal sinus development are present in the literature, noreasonable explanation has been mentioned in these articles; and we believe thatthese findings are all incidental.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Disease management and costs of treatment of patients with unresectable advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in The Netherlands are not well known. METHODS A retrospective medical chart review was performed by collecting data from the time of diagnosis until the time of death or the end of the evaluation period. In addition to the demographic data, information was collected on the overall management of the patient. Hospital resource utilisation data collected included number of outpatient specialist visits, number and length of hospitalisation, type and number of diagnostic and laboratory procedures, type and number of radiotherapy cycles and detailed information on chemotherapy. To evaluate the economic impact of second-line treatment, a distinction was made between patients who received only best supportive care (BSC, group A) and those who received chemotherapy as a second-line treatment in addition to BSC (group B). The study was performed from the hospital perspective and reports on 2005 costs. RESULTS Of 102 patients, 74 belonged to group A and 28 to group B. Patient management included a multidisciplinary approach, the extent of which depended on symptoms of the disease and presence of metastases. The average total treatment cost per patient per year of unresectable advanced NSCLC in The Netherlands was euro32,840 in group A and euro31,187 in group B. In both groups, hospitalisation was the major cost driver. In group B second-line chemotherapy was the second largest contributor of the costs. In spite of the difference in numbers of treatment lines provided to patients in groups A and B the total average costs per patient per year were comparable. Overall, the management of unresectable advanced NSCLC appeared to conform with current guidelines in The Netherlands. CONCLUSION These patients show high medical resource consumption, with hospitalisation being the main cost driver in both groups. As economic arguments are becoming increasingly important in medical decision making on both national and local levels, this information is relevant for both policy makers and specialists. These data can also be used in future research to evaluate the economic impact of new therapies in NSCLC, especially of those that aim to treat patients in an outpatient setting.

Abstract
Prediabetes has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) is an index of platelet activation and also a risk factor for future vascular events. sP-selectin levels were investigated in prediabetic subjects who had no confounding factors such as hypertension, obesity or dyslipidaemia. sP-selectin, hsCRP levels and HOMA-IR indexes were measured in 40 prediabetic subjects (n = 24 for IFG and n = 16 for IGT) and age-, sex- and BMI-matched 40 healthy controls. sP-selectin levels in prediabetic subjects were not significantly different compared with those in controls (p = 0.12). Prediabetic group had similar hsCRP (p = 0.29), higher HOMA-IR indexes (p < 0.001) and lower HDL cholesterol levels (p = 0.001) when compared with healthy controls. The power of the study was 0.93 for sP-selectin, 0.7 for hsCRP and 1.0 for HOMA. Our data suggest that sP-selectin may not contribute to the prothrombotic state as well as the accelerated atherogenesis associated with prediabetes.

Abstract
Renal transplantation is established as the best form of renal replacement therapy, but demand for kidneys exceeds supply from cadaveric donations. It is therefore important to make the best use of the pool of potential cadaveric organ donors. Donation rates are to a large extent dependent on public opinions, which may be influenced by external events. In northeast England from 1986 to 2003, there was a potential pool of 1170 brain stem-dead donors, of whom 190 (16%) could not be retrieved due to relatives' objections. From 1998 to 2003 we were referred 90 potential non-heart-beating donors, of whom relatives refused donation in 10 (11%). A major reason for not retrieving organs from a potential donor has been lack of consent from the relatives. Refusals appear to vary year by year and are consistently lower for non-heart-beating donors. This therefore raises the possibility that negative or positive media publicity plays a role in this variation.

Abstract
A simple cardiovascular risk score used in our center to plan cardiovascular workup for renal transplantation can predict outcome in non-heart-beating donor (NHBD) renal transplantation. Patients in the higher risk group, with a score of >12 out of a maximum of 36 are likely to have a longer duration of delayed graft function, poorer glomerular filtration rate at 6 months, and inferior graft and patient survival, together with an relative rate of graft loss within 60 days of >4 (P = .053). Although a high cardiovascular risk score should not be regarded as a contraindication to NHBD transplantation, the score can be used to facilitate recipient selection.

Abstract
Uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors offer the opportunity to significantly expand the potential pool of kidney donors but are associated with a variable duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), where cardiac output is only 30% to 40% of normal. We were concerned that prolonged CPR would adversely affect the function of transplanted kidneys. In our series of 46 uncontrolled donors the mean duration of CPR was 60 minutes, which also represents a realistic cutoff point for CPR duration. Taking a cutoff point of 60 minutes, we found no differences in kidney discard rates following viability assessment, primary nonfunction rate, or duration of delayed graft function. We therefore conclude that if formal viability assessment is performed, kidneys may be retrieved from uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors irrespective of duration of CPR.

Abstract
Non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs) are an important potential source of donor organs, but kidneys from such donors are prone to delayed graft function (DGF) and primary nonfunction, which are multifactorial in origin but believed to be mainly due to warm ischemic injury. This retrospective study examined a series of 88 transplants from Maastricht category II and III NHBDs to examine the role of factors to predict the duration of DGF. The main factors affecting duration of DGF were total warm ischemic time, cold ischemic time, product of perfusate GST concentration and donor age, quality of postoperative graft perfusion, incidence of acute rejection, recipient cardiovascular risk score, maximum pressure on machine perfusion, and weight gain during machine perfusion. Primary nonfunction was not accurately predicted from these factors for kidneys that had passed the viability assessment.
