Going the distance: Geographic effects of the lung transplant composite allocation score

Selena S. Li, Alisa Pugacheva, Ruby Singh et al. · 21 Jul 2024

Background In March 2023, the lung allocation policy underwent major changes from a tiered structure to a composite allocation score (CAS). The goal was to improve allocation equity for disadvantaged groups by deprioritizing transplant distance. This study examines the effects of CAS on geographic trends and transportation efficiency. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted…

Outcomes of lung and heart-lung transplants utilizing donor after circulatory death with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion

Stephanie H. Chang, Travis C. Geraci, Greta L. Piper et al. · 2 Feb 2024

BackgroundDonation after circulatory death with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (DCD-NRP) for cardiac transplant has promising results, though data for lung transplant is lacking. This study evaluates lung transplant outcomes using DCD-NRP allografts.MethodsAll patients who underwent lung transplantation (LT) from June 1, 2020, to July 5, 2023, at a single institution were evaluated. Recipients received organs…

Afterload pressure and left ventricular contractility synergistically affect left atrial pressure during veno-arterial ECMO

Jacky Jiang, Pankaj Jain, Audrey Adji et al. · 13 Dec 2023

BackgroundVeno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) may cause adverse effects including increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, LV distension and pulmonary oedema. We aimed to quantify the effects of ECMO flow, LV contractility, aortic pressure (AoP) and ECMO configuration on left atrial pressure (LAP) during VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock in a mock circulatory loop (MCL).MethodsAn MCL…

Cytomegalovirus infection in heart transplant recipients: Epidemiology, risk factors, and long-term outcomes from a major transplant center in the United States

Bismarck Bisono-Garcia, Zachary A. Yetmar, Vaisak Nair et al. · 22 Dec 2023

BackgroundDespite the use of antiviral prophylaxis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a common opportunistic infection following heart transplantation. This study analyzes the rates, risk factors, and outcomes of CMV among heart transplant recipients.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted of adults who underwent heart transplantation between January 1, 2011, and March 31, 2019. The primary outcome was clinically…

Impact of normothermic regional perfusion during DCD recovery on lung allograft function: A preclinical study

Rafaela Vanin Pinto Ribeiro, Frank A. Reynolds, Tiffany L. Sarrafian et al. · 26 Oct 2023

Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) has been growing as a novel procurement strategy after circulatory death (DCD) in the context of heart transplantation. However, the impact of NRP on lung graft viability is largely unknown. We sought to determine lung function after thoraco-abdominal NRP (TA-NRP) in a clinically relevant porcine DCD model. Donor domestic pigs underwent…

JHLT Open template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the JHLT Open format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the JHLT Open template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does JHLT Open use?
JHLT Open uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, JHLT Open 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to JHLT Open?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready JHLT Open document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the JHLT Open template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the JHLT Open format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes JHLT Open?
JHLT Open is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's JHLT Open template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready JHLT Open PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official JHLT Open template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the JHLT Open template cost?
You can start writing in the JHLT Open template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready JHLT Open PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
