Resumen
Las enfermedades asociadas a HHV-8/KSHV (EAH) están aumentando en los receptores de trasplantes de órganos sólidos (TOS). La detección y el manejo tempranos, incluido el Kaposi
Área de la Ciencia:
- Medicina de Trasplantes
- Enfermedades Infecciosas
- Oncología
Sus antecedentes:
- Los receptores de trasplantes de órganos sólidos (TOS) se enfrentan a riesgos crecientes de enfermedades asociadas al HHV-8/KSHV (EAH).
- Los desafíos en la evaluación del impacto del HHV-8/KSHV incluyen variaciones en la seroprevalencia regional y la detección inconsistente.
- Las EAH neoplásicas como el sarcoma de Kaposi (SK) y los linfomas, y el síndrome inflamatorio de citocinas asociado al virus del herpes del sarcoma de Kaposi (KICS), no maligno, son preocupaciones en los TOS.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Proporcionar una visión general actualizada de las EAH en receptores de TOS, centrándose en el KICS.
- Destacar las lagunas de conocimiento actuales y los avances recientes en la detección y el manejo.
- Enfatizar la necesidad de mejorar las herramientas de diagnóstico y los estudios prospectivos.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura actual sobre enfermedades asociadas al HHV-8/KSHV en TOS.
- Enfoque en la presentación clínica, el diagnóstico y las estrategias de manejo del KICS.
- Discusión de posibles protocolos clínicos y necesidades de investigación.
Principales resultados:
- El KICS, un síndrome no maligno con inflamación severa y posible insuficiencia multiorgánica, es una preocupación importante.
- El KICS y el SK derivados del donante pueden presentarse sin afectación cutánea típica, lo que requiere una mayor concienciación.
- Las estrategias de manejo actuales incluyen pruebas del donante/receptor, monitorización de la ADNemia, modificación de la inmunosupresión, antivirales y rituximab.
Conclusiones:
- Falta una prueba serológica estandarizada para el HHV-8/KSHV.
- Se necesitan estudios prospectivos para validar los protocolos de monitorización, manejo preventivo y tratamiento.
- La mejora de los diagnósticos y la concienciación clínica son cruciales para el diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos de las EAH en receptores de TOS.

Metallic Solids
20.6K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Structures of Solids
17.7K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Gap Junctions
57.1K
Multicellular organisms employ a variety of ways for cells to communicate with each other. Gap junctions are specialized proteins that form pores between neighboring cells in animals, connecting the cytoplasm between the two, and allowing for the exchange of molecules and ions. They are found in a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate species, mediate numerous functions including cell differentiation and development, and are associated with numerous human diseases, including cardiac and...

Gap Junctions
9.5K
The cytoplasm of adjacent animal cells can exchange small molecules, ions, and secondary messengers via the communication channels which form the gap junctions. These junctions comprise a few hundred to thousands of molecular channels, each made of two halves, called the connexon hemichannel. A connexon is a hexamer of six transmembrane connexin proteins, which assemble radially, thus forming a pore or channel in the center. One connexon hemichannel docks with a corresponding connexon on the...

Network Covalent Solids
16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Molecular and Ionic Solids
20.0K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
