Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Blood Clearance of Liver Fluorescent Markers for the Assessment of the Degree of Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury [PDF]
During liver transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is inevitable and decreases the overall success of the surgery. While guidelines exist, there is no reliable way to quantitatively assess the degree of IRI present in the liver. Our recent study has shown a correlation between the bile-to-plasma ratio of FDA-approved sodium fluorescein (SF)

What's new? In hepatocellular carcinoma, expanded myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSC) relate to aggressiveness and poor prognosis. A global analysis of the different MDSC subsets in hepatocellular carcinoma is, however, missing. In this study, all three subsets of M‐MDSC, PMN‐MDSC, and eMDSC, together with arginase 1 activity, were significantly ...

Melatonin Levels in Serum and Ascitic Fluid of Patients with Hepatic Encephalopathy
Cirrhotic patients exhibit disturbed melatonin homeostasis, which may lead to sleep disturbances, but an influence on the hepatic encephalopathy has not been elucidated. Aim.

Grading the severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborn EEG using a convolutional neural network [PDF]
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a valuable clinical tool for grading injury caused by lack of blood and oxygen to the brain during birth. This study presents a novel end-to-end architecture, using a deep convolutional neural network, that learns hierarchical representations within raw EEG data.

The burden of minimal hepatic encephalopathy: from diagnosis to therapeutic strategies
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is the mildest form of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). It affects the performance of psychometric tests focused on attention, working memory, psychomotor speed, and visuospatial ability, as well as electrophysiological ...
