HIF-1alpha-pathway activation in cholangiocytes of patients with biliary atresia : an immunohistochemical/molecular exploratory study [PDF]

, 2023
Background: Biliary atresia is a neonatal disease characterized by choledochal obstruction and progressive cholangiopathy requiring liver transplantation in most patients. Hypoxia-ischemia affecting the biliary epithelium may lead to biliary obstruction.

A Predictive Model of Pressure Injury in Children Undergoing Living Donor Liver Transplantation Based on Machine Learning Algorithm

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3003-3012, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aims The aim of our study was to formulate and validate a prediction model using machine learning algorithms to forecast the risk of pressure injuries (PIs) in children undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Design A retrospective cohort study.

On estimation in varying coefficient models for sparse and irregularly sampled functional data [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this paper, we study a smoothness regularization method for a varying coefficient model based on sparse and irregularly sampled functional data which is contaminated with some measurement errors. We estimate the one-dimensional covariance and cross-covariance functions of the underlying stochastic processes based on a reproducing kernel Hilbert ...

Chemotherapy‐Induced Neuropathy Affecting the Gastrointestinal Tract

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy (with/without immunotherapy/radiotherapy) may induce neurotoxic effects on the gastrointestinal innervation. Chemotherapy‐induced enteric neuropathy (CIEN) and, probably, neurotoxicity affecting the extrinsic innervation of the gut and the brain underlie the frequent and impactful gut dysfunctions and brain–gut axis (BGA) disorders ...

Hepatolithiasis in a 52-year-old native liver survivor with postoperative biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023
Hepatolithiasis is well known to be a late complication after biliary reconstruction. However, there were few reports regarding hepatolithiasis in late complications of long-term, native liver survivors in postoperative patients of biliary atresia. Here,

A Bayesian Approach to Modelling Longitudinal Data in Electronic Health Records [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Analyzing electronic health records (EHR) poses significant challenges because often few samples are available describing a patient's health and, when available, their information content is highly diverse. The problem we consider is how to integrate sparsely sampled longitudinal data, missing measurements informative of the underlying health status ...

Hypoxic pregnancy promotes fibrosis and increases stress metabolites in the ovine fetal liver

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Figure Legend: During hypoxic pregnancy, late gestation fetuses had increased periportal hepatic collagen deposition, an indicator of hepatic injury, with a unique profile of stress metabolites and adaptations in central carbon metabolism.

Liver transplantation before 1 year of age [PDF]

, 1987
Since 1981, 20 infants younger than 1 year of age received 26 orthotopic liver transplants. Immunosuppression was with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. Thirteen (65%) of the reciplents were discharged from the hospital.
