Please complete these post-test questions so we can assess what you learned at the Cutting Edge of Transplantation. You will be shown the correct answers on the next screen. If you are not claiming ACPE credit, you are not required to "pass" the post-test in order to claim credit, simply provide answers and proceed.

Question Title

* 1. Technological advances in solid organ transplantation include all of the following EXCEPT:

A. 3D printed livers and hearts for transplantation

B. Genetically modified pig organs

C. Management apps for post-transplant care

D. Perfusion device for donated lungs of suboptimal quality

Question Title

* 2. Genetic modification of donor kidneys using CRISPR gene editing has the following benefits:

A. Reduced risk of rejection compared to wild type pig kidneys

B. Longer graft survival in non-human primate studies compared to wild type pig kidneys

C. Inactivation of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV)

D. A and B

E. A, B, and C

Question Title

* 3. Deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially be utilized for patient care among solid organ transplant recipients in the following ways. Please select the single best answer.

A. AI enhanced ECGs (using deep learning) have replaced blood testing methods (GEP & dd-cfDNA) when screening for cardiac allograft rejection.

B. AI enhanced ECGs (using deep learning) are known to be superior to endomyocardial biopsy for the diagnosis of acute cellular rejection (ACR) and antibody mediated rejection (AMR).

C. AI enhanced ECGs (using deep learning) have been demonstrated to be effective in detecting moderate-severe acute cellular rejection (ACR) among heart transplant recipients.

D. All of the above.

E. A and B only.

Question Title

* 4. Which of the following best describes the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) in liver transplantation?

A. AI primarily focuses on replacing human decision-making in liver transplantation with fully automated processes.

B. AI is limited by its inability to process the complex data associated with liver transplantation, making it less useful than traditional methods.

C. AI promises to enhance clinical decision-making by helping to decipher complex data and inform on aspects such as immune modulator networks, dynamic pharmacokinetics, and organ allocation.

D. The use of AI in liver transplantation has been shown to significantly improve postoperative graft survival rates.

Question Title

* 5. After transplantation, is physical activity in recipients expected to:

A. Sharply improve and continue in an upwards trajectory

B. Continue along its pre-transplant trajectory

C. Initially decline, and then slowly improve

D. Initially decline, and then rapidly improve

Question Title

* 6. What approach would NOT be considered a method to prototype and test new decision support materials for patients?

A. Hand sketches of a concept

B. Showing digital mockups to users

C. Press release about the public launch

D. Observing users trying out the materials

Question Title

* 7. 1. CG is a 52 year old male with alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD) who is a candidate for early liver transplantation (transplantation without period of sobriety). Patients who are at lower risk for continued alcohol use are prioritized. Therefore, predicting the risk of continued alcohol post-transplant using objective criteria is important for improving fairness and efficiency in organ allocation. Algorithm-development research has associated factors that predict an increased risk of continued alcohol consumption. These include: consuming more than ten drinks/day at the time of hospitalization, previous abuse of illicit substances, previous alcohol-related legal issues, and multiple failed rehabilitation attempts. To improve fair and efficient organ allocation, information regarding which of the following should be included CG's evaluation?

A. alcohol consumption at the time of hospitalization

B. history of legal problems associated with alcohol use

C. marital history

D. None of the above

E. A and B

F. All of the above

Question Title

* 8. Novel drug delivery systems already utilized in transplantation include which systems?

A. Antibody humanization or modifications

B. Protective polymer coating with controlled release

C. Nanoparticle delivery

D. Topical agent delivery

Question Title

* 9. Known benefits of normothermic liver perfusion devices include all the following except:

A. Improved preservation of fatty donor livers

B. Improved preservation of older donor livers

C. Less ischemic cholangiopathy following DCD donor liver transplantation

D. Less reperfusion syndrome intraoperatively in recipient

E. Lower cost
