Respiratory viral infection in obliterative airway disease after orthotopic tracheal transplantation.
Elbert Kuo,Ankit Bharat,T.A. Goers,William C. Chapman,Le Yan,Tyler Street,Wei Lu,Michael J. Walter,Alexander Patterson,Thalachallour Mohanakumar +9 more
TL;DR: Respiratory viral infections can cause enhanced tracheal allograft rejection despite the initial phase of transient immunosuppression, and early treatment or vaccination against the respiratory infections may represent a viable intervention to reduce the risk of chronic rejection.

Impact of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery on Benign Resections for Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Elbert Kuo,Ankit Bharat,Nicholas Bontumasi,Czarina Sanchez,Jennifer Bell Zoole,G. Alexander Patterson,Bryan F. Meyers +6 more
TL;DR: There has been an increase in pulmonary resections performed by VATS, which can be explained by the increased number of VATS wedge resections that are being performed and the benign lesion resection rates were not significantly different in regard to approach.

Respiratory Virus-Induced Dysregulation of T-Regulatory Cells Leads to Chronic Rejection
Ankit Bharat,Elbert Kuo,Deepti Saini,Nancy Steward,Ramsey R. Hachem,Elbert P. Trulock,G. Alexander Patterson,Bryan F. Meyers,Thalachallour Mohanakumar +8 more
TL;DR: Respiratory viral infections cause Treg apoptosis which leads to the development of de novo autoimmunity that may play a role in the pathogenesis of BOS.

Cut it out: Managing hepatic abscesses in patients with chronic granulomatous disease.
Li Ern Chen,Robert K. Minkes,Penelope G. Shackelford,Steven M. Strasberg,Elbert Kuo,Jacob C. Langer +5 more
TL;DR: For CGD patients with hepatic abscesses, drainage procedures are associated with recurrence and prolonged hospitalization, and primary hepatic resection removing all involved tissue is safe and definitive for the management of this problem.

Role of airway epithelial injury in murine orthotopic tracheal allograft rejection.
Elbert Kuo,Ankit Bharat,Jennifer Shih,Tyler Street,Jenyi Norris,Wei Liu,William C. Parks,Michael J. Walter,G. Alexander Patterson,T. Mohanakumar +9 more
TL;DR: Although orthotopic tracheal transplantation does not cause luminal obliteration, it results in increased fibrosis in allografts, suggesting a role for epithelial injury in bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome development.
