Comparison of sirolimus alone with sirolimus plus tacrolimus in type 1 diabetic recipients of cultured islet cell grafts Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven

Pieter Gillard, Zhidong Ling, Chantal Mathieu, Matthias Lannoo, Bart Maes, Frans Gorus, Danny Pipeleers, Bart Keymeulen

BACKGROUND: One year survival of islet cell grafts has been reproducibly achieved under combination immune therapy including tacrolimus (TAC). However, the use of TAC causes beta-cell and renal toxicity. Because sirolimus (SIR) monotherapy was successful in kidney transplantation under antithymocyte globulin (ATG), we undertook a pilot study comparing SIR monotherapy with SIR-TAC combination therapy.

METHODS: Nonuremic type 1 ...

Functional outcome and economic burden of operative management of patellar fractures Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven

Complications associated with transobturator sling procedures Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Isabelle Kaelin Gambirasio, Sandrine Jacob, Michel Boulvain

BACKGROUND: The transobturator tape procedure (TOT) is an effective surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. However data concerning safety are rare, follow-up is often less than two years, and complications are probably underreported. The aim of this study was to describe early and late complications associated with TOT procedures and identify risk factors for erosions.

METHODS: It was a 27 months follow-up of a ...
