Viability assessment and transplantation of fatty liver grafts using end‐ischemic normothermic machine perfusion

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract End‐ischemic viability testing by normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) represents an effective strategy to recover liver grafts having initially been discarded for liver transplantation (LT). However, its results in the setting of significant (≥30%) macrovesicular steatosis (MaS) have not been specifically assessed.

Human Metapneumovirus and Its Association With Otorhinolaryngological Manifestations: A Systematic Review With Descriptive Synthesis

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory virus that predominantly affects the pediatric population. Its role as an infective agent in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) diseases is not yet well understood. To systematically review the available literature on the association between HMPV and ENT manifestations, following PRISMA guidelines, a ...
