Liver Transplantation For Alcoholic Liver Disease – Time for a Paradigm Shift?

, 2014
Liver transplantation for alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is controversially discussed. Although overall survival after liver transplantation is similar to other indications, long-term survival is significantly reduced in patients with recurrence of ...

Expression of resistin in the liver of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

, 2017
Adipokines are cytokines that presumably connect the pathologies of metabolic syndrome. One of the adipokines is resistin, the role of which in insulin resistance, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) needs to be determined.

Additive Manufacturing of Patient‐Specific Intracranial Aneurysm Cell Culture Models

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Patient‐specific intracranial aneurysm models were fabricated using chocolate moulding, 3D printed water‐soluble cores, and direct resin 3D printing. Moulding PDMS around sacrificial cores made of chocolate or 3D printed water‐soluble resin yielded accurate, expandable, and endothelializable models that outperformed resin‐based approaches.

A non-invasive prediction model for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in paediatric patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

, 2014
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease encompasses a spectrum of diseases that range from simple steatosis to the aggressive form of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is currently diagnosed through liver biopsy.
