A Linear Logic Programming Language for Concurrent Programming over Graph Structures

, 2014
We have designed a new logic programming language called LM (Linear Meld) for programming graph-based algorithms in a declarative fashion. Our language is based on linear logic, an expressive logical system where logical facts can be consumed. Because LM

Drop-out rate from the liver transplant waiting list due to HCC progression in HCV-infected patients treated with direct acting antivirals. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND & AIM: concerns about an increased hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence rate following directly acting antiviral (DAA) therapy in cirrhotic patients with a prior complete oncological response have been raised. Data regarding the impact of

Integrative host–microbiome modeling uncovers the implication of oral–gut translocation in advanced cirrhosis

iMeta, EarlyView.
Liver cirrhosis is associated with profound disruption of host–microbiome metabolic interactions. Using paired oral and fecal metagenomics combined with genome‐scale metabolic modeling, we investigated how microbial translocation along the oral–gut axis influences microbial metabolism at different cirrhosis severities.

Comparison of Dynamic Changes Among Various Prognostic Scores in Viral Hepatitis-Related Acute Liver Failure

Annals of Hepatology, 2018
Introduction and aim. Multiple prognostic scores are available for acute liver failure (ALF). Our objective was to compare the dynamicity of model for end stage liver disease (MELD), MELD-sodium, acute liver failure early dynamic model (ALFED), chronic ...

Normothermic Machine Perfusion vs. Static Cold Storage for DBD Liver Transplantation in High‐MELD Recipients: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose While normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has benefits over static cold storage (SCS), its efficacy in high‐acuity recipients with high Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores, particularly using a back‐to‐base application model, is not well established.

The impact of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) on liver transplantation in one center in Brazil O impacto do MELD no transplante de fígado em um centro no Brasil

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2010
CONTEXT: Presently the MELD score is used as the waiting list criterion for liver transplantation in Brazil. In this method more critical patients are considered priority to transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To compare the results of liver transplantation when

Association between specialized nutrition support and 90‐day mortality relative to standard of care in malnourished adults with decompensated cirrhosis: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Malnutrition is common among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and linked to poor prognosis. Guidelines recommend intensified nutrition support e.g. parenteral nutrition, but evidence regarding safety and effectiveness is scarce. We aimed to investigate the impact of nutrition support, specifically parenteral nutrition, on

Hyponatremia in Cirrhosis: Comparative Evaluation of MELD and MELD-Na Scores for Predicting Short- and Long-Term Mortality

APIK Journal of Internal Medicine
Background: Hyponatremia is a frequent complication in patients with liver cirrhosis and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score is commonly used to predict prognosis in cirrhosis, but does
