    Abstract A previous donor intervention trial found that therapeutic hypothermia reduced delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation. This retrospective cohort study nested in the randomized dopamine trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT000115115) investigates the effects of spontaneous donor hypothermia (core body temperature <36°C) on initial kidney graft function, and evaluates 5-year graft survival. Hypothermia assessed by a singular measurement in the intensive care unit 4-20 hours before procurement was associated with less DGF after kidney transplantation (odds ratio [OR] 0.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34-0.91). The benefit was greater when need for more than a single posttransplant dialysis session was analyzed (OR 0.48, 95%CI 0.28-0.82). Donor dopamine ameliorated dialysis requirement independently from hypothermia in a temporal relationship with exposure (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.87-0.98, per hour). A lower core body temperature in the donor was associated with lower serum creatinine levels before procurement, which may reflect lower systemic inflammation and attenuated renal injury from brain death. Despite a considerable effect on DGF, our study failed to demonstrate a graft survival advantage (hazard ratio [HR] 0.83, 95%CI 0.54-1.27), whereas dopamine treatment was associated with improved long-term outcome (HR 0.95, 95%CI 0.91-0.99 per hour).

    Abstract The pilot study attempted to determine whether subjective muscle testing employed by Applied Kinesiology practitioners, prospectively determine those individuals with specific hyperallergenic responses. Seventeen subjects were found positive on Applied Kinesiology (A.K.) muscle testing screening procedures indicating food hypersensitivity (allergy) reactions. Each subject showed muscle weakening (inhibition) reactions to oral provocative testing of one or two foods for a total of 21 positive food reactions. Tests for a hypersensitivity reaction of the serum were performed using both a radio-allergosorbent test (RAST) and immune complex test for IgE and IgG against all 21 of the foods that tested positive with A.K. muscle screening procedures. These serum tests confirmed 19 of the 21 food allergies (90.5%) suspected based on the applied kinesiology screening procedures. This pilot study offers a basis to examine further a means by which to predict the clinical utility of a given substance for a given patient, based on the patterns of neuromuscular response elicited from the patient, representing a conceptual expansion of the standard neurological examination process.

    Abstract Functional Neurologic Assessment and treatment methods common to the practice of applied kinesiology are presented. These methods are proposed to enhance neurological examination and treatment procedures toward more effective assessment and care of functional impairment. A neurologic model for these procedures is proposed. Manual assessment of muscular function is used to identify changes associated with facilitation and inhibition, in response to the introduction of sensory receptor-based stimuli. Muscle testing responses to sensory stimulation of known value are compared with usually predictable patterns based on known neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, guiding the clinician to an understanding of the functional status of the patient's nervous system. These assessment procedures are used in addition to other standard diagnostic measures to augment rather than replace the existing diagnostic armamentarium. The proper understanding of the neurophysiologic basis of muscle testing procedures will assist in the design of further investigations into applied kinesiology. Accordingly, the neurophysiologic basis and proposed mechanisms of these methods are reviewed.

    Abstract The clinical severity of ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) ranges widely from relatively benign courses to rapidly progressive, acutely life-threatening disease. The aggressiveness in the individual patient depends on the site and size of vessels involved and on the severity of the associated inflammatory/immunological features. The scope of life-threatening lesions reaches from the well-known pulmonary renal syndrome to cardiac, gastrointestinal and central nervous system manifestations. Treatment must be instituted as soon as possible and consists of daily cyclophosphamide and high-dose glucocorticosteroids. Plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin, and monoclonal antibodies may be of benefit in some cases.
