Abstract: Due to the ongoing shortage of deceased-donor organs, novel strategies to augment kidney transplantation rates through expanded living donation strategies have become essential. These include desensitization in antibody-incompatible transplants and kidney paired donation (KPD) programs. KPD enables kidney transplant candidates with willing but incompatible living donors to join a registry of other incompatible pairs in order to find potentially compatible transplant solutions. Given the significant immunologic barriers with fewer donor options, single-center or small KPD programs may be less successful in transplanting the more sensitized patients the optimal solution for the difficult-to-match patient is access to more potential donors and large multicenter or national registries are essential. Multicenter KPD programs have become common in the last decade, and now represent one of the most promising opportunities to improve transplant rates. To maximize donor-recipient matching, and minimize immunologic risk, these multicenter KPD programs use sophisticated algorithms to identify optimal match potential, with simultaneous two-, three- or more complex multiway exchanges. The article focuses on the recent progresses in KPD and it also reviews some of the differences and commonalities across four different national KPD programs.

Abstract: We demonstrate coherent terahertz (THz) frequency imaging using the self-mixing effect in a quantum cascade laser (QCL). Self-mixing voltage waveforms are acquired at each pixel of a two-dimensional image of etched GaAs structures and fitted to a three-mirror laser model, enabling extraction of the litude and phase parameters of the reflected field. From the phase, we reconstruct the depth of the s le surface, and we show that the litude can be related to the s le reflectance. Our approach is experimentally simple and compact, and does not require frequency stabilization of the THz QCL.
