Computer-aided hepatic tumour ablation [PDF]
Lecture notes in computer science (LNCS) 2208 (2001) 1145-1146, 2006 Surgical resection of hepatic tumours is not always possible. Alternative techniques consist in locally using chemical or physical agents to destroy the tumour and this may be performed percutaneously. It requires a precise localisation of the tumour placement during ablation.

Classification of Hepatic Lesions using the Matching Metric [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 In this paper we present a methodology of classifying hepatic (liver) lesions using multidimensional persistent homology, the matching metric (also called the bottleneck distance), and a support vector machine. We present our classification results on a dataset of 132 lesions that have been outlined and annotated by radiologists.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is challenged by endothelial dysfunction‐related syndromes like sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), capillary leak syndrome (CLS), and severe acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGvHD). We investigated soluble thrombomodulin (sTM), an endothelial damage marker, in relation to

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.The advantages to measure handgrip strength (HGS) are simple, convenient, noninvasive, cost‐effective, and easy to be widely carried out during daily clinical practice. Mounting evidence demonstrates that muscle strength measured by HGS is a feasible and reliable metric to evaluate nutritional status, as well as relevant cirrhosis‐related complications

The prognostic value of a PF is unknown, which we aimed to explore. Patients and Methods Single‐center retrospective study of cirrhotic patients included in a prospective cohort admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU ...

Targeted temperature management in acute liver failure: A systematic review
Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 784-795, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Targeted temperature management is the modern term for therapeutic hypothermia, where cooling is induced by intensive care clinicians to achieve body temperatures below 36°C. Its use in acute liver failure to improve refractory intracranial hypertension and patient outcomes is not supported by strong quality evidence.
