Hepatic Encephalopathy and Age Were Assessed to Ameliorate the Underestimation of the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease Score in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score significantly underestimates 90‐day mortality in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients (AUC: 0.556) compared to non‐ACLF patients (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0.848).

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

A Comprehensive Study of Bidirectional Interactions Between the Human Microbiome and Blood Malignancies and Hematologic Conditions: Focus on Novel Therapeutic Strategies

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Microbiota‐targeted therapeutic strategies in hematological disorders. aHSCT: Transplanted immune cells from the donor may attack the recipient's tissues, especially when damage to the intestinal epithelium disrupts the gut microbiota, contributing to GVHD. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiota that supports immune regulation helps reduce GVHD risk and

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...
