Accelerated rejection following offspring-to-mother and husband-to-wife transplants.

It has been demonstrated that graft survival rates of offspring-to-mother and husband-to-wife renal transplants are equivalent to those of other living donors. Although the vast majority of these transplants proceed without incident, we have encountered several instances of delayed accelerated rejections that are not predicted by a positive cross-match. The accelerated rejection can result from an anamnestic reaction subsequent to the in utero exposure of the mother to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antigens of the fetus with sensitization developing during the pregnancy.

Foot evaluation by infrared imaging.

For better assessment of foot injury severity during basic military training, we evaluated a simple noninvasive technique: thermography. With this infrared imaging method, we determined normal foot parameters (from 30 soldiers before training), thermographic findings in different foot stress fractures (from 30 soldiers so diagnosed), and normal responses to abnormal stresses in 30 trainees who underwent the same training as the previous group but did not have musculoskeletal complaints. We found that normal foot thermograms show onion peel-like progressive cooling on the plantar surface, with a medially located warm center at the instep. Thermograms of injured feet show areas of increased heat, but excessive weight-bearing pressures on feet, new shoes, or boots also cause increased infrared emission even without discomfort. Differentiation remains difficult; however, thermography can detect injury early. It does not reveal exact diagnoses, but its greatest benefit is easy follow-up to monitor severity and healing.
