Retrohepatic Vena Cava Encirclement, as Surrogate of Extensive Liver Manipulation During Caval Sparing Hepatectomy, Is a Risk Factor for Tumor Recurrence After Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction In liver transplantation (LT) with a caval sparing (CS) approach, the presence of complete encirclement of inferior vena cava (IVC‐E) by hypertrophic segment 1 increases the technical complexity of hepatectomy. Thus, in LT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), It may be suspected that the resulting greater liver manipulation and ...

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

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

A Proof‐of‐Concept Study of Language‐Stratified Assessment for Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy: Integrating the Animal Naming Test and Serum IL‐6

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) involves subtle cognitive dysfunction and systemic inflammation and is associated with an increased risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy. The Animal Naming Test (ANT1) is a rapid semantic fluency tool for MHE assessment, but its performance across different primary spoken languages remains unclear.

MELD 3.i: A Bayesian framework for updating the model for end-stage liver disease score

JHEP Reports
Background & Aims: The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score has been central to liver transplant (LT) allocation since 2002, with iterative updates culminating in MELD 3.0.

Harnessing Spatial and Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to Optimize Land Suitability for Kenaf Cultivation in Kelantan: Pathways for Sustainable Economic Development

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Kelantan, entrenched land degradation and extensive idling of agricultural lands exacerbate rural poverty. Current top‐down planning often overlooks local geographic and social constraints, despite state initiatives to convert idle lands and strengthen rural livelihoods.

Assessment of MELD Scores as Predictors of Mortality in Patients with Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease with Variceal Hemorrhage at a third-level care center.

Annals of Hepatology
Introduction and Objectives: The variceal hemorrhage is the most common cause of decompensation in patients with chronic liver disease. Hemoglobin level has been used to classify severity; however, it is unreliable.

Validation of the Model of End-Stage Liver Disease for Liver Transplant Allocation in Alberta: Implications for Future Directions in Canada

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2016
Background. Since 2002, the Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) has been used for allocation of liver transplants (LT) in the USA. In Canada, livers were allocated by the CanWAIT algorithm.
