The adolescent and liver transplantation
Journal of Hepatology, 2012 The outcome of liver transplantation is usually reported in terms of graft and patient survival, medical and surgical complications, and quality of life, but when it comes to transplanted adolescents such conventional parameters are unable to give a full account of their life with a new liver, and their transition from adolescence to adulthood is a ...

Survival tree and meld to predict long term survival in liver transplantation waiting list [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Background: Many authors have described MELD as a predictor of short-term mortality in the liver transplantation waiting list. However MELD score accuracy to predict long term mortality has not been statistically evaluated. Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the MELD score as well as other variables as a predictor of long-term mortality ...

Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Blood Clearance of Liver Fluorescent Markers for the Assessment of the Degree of Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 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)

Cytomegalovirus infection and gastric emptying [PDF]
, 1992 Gastrointestinal infection due to cytomegalovirus occurs frequently in liver transplant recipients. Upper gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infection is associated with subjective complaints of nausea, a sense of abdominal fullness, and occasionally ...

Considering the Risks and Costs of Solid Organ Xenotransplantation
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.This perspective discusses the rationale, risks, and costs of whole‐organ xenotransplantation. It considers alternative strategies to obviate the demand for transplants and optimize allotransplantation systems and practices that do not impose xenotransplantation's harms and risks, and whether they are the most ethical and effective means to increase ...

Management of bacterial infection in the liver transplant candidate [PDF]
, 2018 Bacterial infection (BI) is a common cause of impairment of liver function in patients with cirrhosis, especially in the liver transplant candidates. These patients share an immunocompromised state and increased susceptibility to develop community and ...

Toward Design Principles for Biomolecular Condensates for Metabolic Pathways
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates are membrane‐less compartments found through‐out nature which can serve as reaction crucibles for biochemical processes. This review explores the design strategies underlying how condensates can be used in biotechnology to enhance multistep enzyme cascades including enhancement by mass action and substrate channeling, and ...

Transplantation in children [PDF]
, 1976 Kidney transplantation in very young children, less than 2 years of age, has usually failed, mainly because of difficulties maintaining these patients on hemodialysis long enough to permit retransplantation after loss of the original graft.
