To evaluate cardiac retransplantation as an appropriate utilization of scarce donor organs we analyzed data from the registry of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) (n = 449) and the Utah Cardiac Transplant Program (n = 20). Actuarial survival among retransplants was...

The role of arthropods in the indirect transmission of giardiasis has been long suspected but little investigated. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay specific for a heatshock protein (HSP) gene of Giardia lamblia (Lambl, 1859) was used for the direct detection of G. lamblia DNA in house flies (...
