    Abstract Lung transplantation is a recognized therapy for end-stage respiratory failure in children and young people. It is only available in selected countries and is limited by access to suitable organs. Data on disparities in access and outcomes for children undergoing lung transplantation are limited. It is clear from data from studies in adults, and from studies in other solid organ transplants in children, that systemic inequities exist in this field. While data relating specifically to pediatric lung transplantation are relatively sparse, professionals should be aware of the risk that healthcare systems may result in disparities in access and outcomes following lung transplantation in children.

    Abstract One cannot survive without regularly urinating and defecating. People with neurological injury (spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke) or disease (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spina bifida) and many elderly are unable to voluntarily initiate voiding. The great majority of them require bladder catheters to void urine and "manual bowel programs" with digital rectal stimulation and manual extraction to void stool. Catheter-associated urinary tract infections frequently require hospitalization, while manual bowel programs are time-consuming (1-2 hours), stigmatizing, and cause rectal pain and discomfort. Laxatives and enemas produce defecation, but onset and duration are unpredictable, prolonged, and difficult to control, which can produce involuntary defecation and fecal incontinence. Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) consider recovery of bladder and bowel function a higher priority than recovery of walking. Bladder and bowel dysfunction are a top reason for institutionalization of elderly. Surveys indicate that convenience, rapid onset and short duration, reliability and predictability, and efficient voiding are priorities of SCI individuals. Despite the severe, unmet, medical need; there is no literature regarding on-demand, rapid-onset, short-duration, drug-induced, voiding therapies. This article provides in depth discussion of recent discovery and development of two candidates for on-demand voiding therapies. The first, DTI-117, a neurokinin

    Abstract Introduction: Non-cognitive traits should be considered when selecting candidates to study medicine. However, evaluating these traits remains difficult. We explored whether measuring undesirable non-cognitive behaviour ('Red Flags') added value to a medical school admissions system. Red Flags included rudeness, ignoring the contributions of others, disrespectful behaviour, or poor communication.
    Methods: Following an admissions interview testing non-cognitive attributes in 648 applicants to a UK medical school, we measured the association between interview score and Red Flag frequency. We tested linear and polynomial regression models to evaluate whether the association was linear or non-linear.
    Results: In total, 1126 Red Flags were observed. While Red Flags were concentrated among low-scorers, candidates in the highest- and second-highest deciles for interview score still received Red Flags (six and twenty-two, respectively). The polynomial regression model indicated candidates with higher scores received fewer Red Flags, but the association was not linear (
    Conclusions: The non-linear association between interview score and Red Flag frequency shows some candidates with desirable non-cognitive attributes will still display undesirable-or even exclusionary-non-cognitive attributes. Recording Red Flag behaviour reduces the likelihood such candidates will be offered a place at medical school.

    Abstract Objectives: Neurokinin 2 receptor (NK2R) agonists may be useful for treating bladder and bowel dysfunction via direct contraction of detrusor and gastrointestinal smooth muscle. The NK2R agonist [Lys5, MeLeu9, Nle10]-NKA(4-10) (LMN-NKA) induces urination and defecation, but also produces the potential side effect of dermal flushing in rats. Although LMN-NKA is a NK2R agonist, it also has affinity for neurokinin 1 receptors (NK1R). Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the neurokinin receptor (NKR) subtypes responsible for LMN-NKA-induced urination, defecation, and flushing by blocking either NK2Rs or NK1Rs before LMN-NKA administration.
    Methods: To accomplish this goal, we developed a simple high-throughput 'rapid detection voiding assay' to detect rapid-onset drug-induced urination and defecation in rats. In LMN-NKA dose-response experiments, LMN-NKA (10-100 μg/kg, subcutaneous) was injected and urination, defecation, and flushing were monitored for 30 min. For NKR antagonist experiments, vehicle, the NK2R antagonist GR159897, or the NK1R antagonist CP-99,994 were injected before an acclimation period. Following acclimation, saline or 100 μg/kg LMN-NKA were injected, and behavior was observed for 30 min.
    Results: LMN-NKA produced dose-related increases in urination, defecation, and flushing. Blocking NK2Rs reduced urination and blocked defecation, without affecting flushing. Blocking NK1Rs did not change LMN-NKA-induced urination or defecation but reduced LMN-NKA-induced flushing.
    Conclusions: Using the rapid detection voiding assay we show that LMN-NKA-induced urination and defecation are mediated by NK2Rs, while flushing is mediated by NK1Rs. Therefore, drugs that are more selective for NK2 vs. NK1Rs should produce rapid-onset urination and defecation without producing the potential side effect of flushing.

    Abstract Study design: Preclinical pharmacology.
    Objectives: To determine whether blocking substance P signaling attenuates the hypertension and bradycardia evoked by colorectal distension (CRD) in spinal cord injured (SCI) rats.
    Setting: University laboratory in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
    Methods: Tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonists were administered 30 min prior to CRD three weeks after complete spinal cord transection at the 4
    Results: Subcutaneous (SC) administration of 10-30 mg/kg GR205171 ((2S,3S)-N-[[2-methoxy-5-[5-(trifluoromethyl)tetrazol-1-yl]phenyl]methyl]-2-phenylpiperidin-3-amine dihydrochloride) reduced CRD-induced hypertension and bradycardia by 55 and 49%, respectively, compared with pretreatment values. There was no effect of GR205171 on resting blood pressure or heart rate. In contrast, the same dose range of CP-99,994 ((2S,3S)-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-2-phenyl-3-piperidinamine dihydrochloride) had no effect on CRD-induced cardiovascular responses.
    Conclusions: The effective dose range of GR205171 to alleviate autonomic dysreflexia is consistent with the blockade of NK1 receptors on pelvic sensory afferents in the lumbosacral spinal cord, which may in turn prevent the over-excitation of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs) that regulate blood pressure and heart rate. The findings provide preclinical support for the utility of NK1 receptor antagonists to treat autonomic dysreflexia in people with SCI. The difference in the effects of the two NK1 receptor antagonists may reflect the ~200-fold lower affinity of CP-99,994 than GR205171 for the rat NK1 receptor.

    Abstract The European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) strives to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) across all its activities. We surveyed the transplant community's experiences and perspectives regarding EDI within ESOT as an organization and its educational activities, and research in general. A total of 299 respondents completed the questionnaire. About half agreed that ESOT's Executive Committee, Council, and Sections/Committees are diverse and inclusive (51%) and that ESOT promotes EDI in its live and digital educational activities (54%). Forty percent of respondents agreed that scientific and clinical trials in the field of transplantation are diverse and inclusive. Despite the wide distribution of the survey, most of the respondents self-identified as White and were either physician or surgeon. However, the results contribute a unique insight into the experiences and perspectives of the transplantation community regarding EDI. Whilst ESOT is committed to the principles of EDI, perceptions and the high number of proposals show the apparent need to prioritize efforts to embed EDI across ESOT and transplantation science. These data should constitute a starting point for change and provide guidance for future efforts to promote EDI within the transplantation community.
