Quantitative Methods for Optimizing Patient Outcomes in Liver Transplantation [PDF]
Liver transplantation continues to be the gold standard for treating patients with end-stage liver diseases. However, despite the huge success of liver transplantation in improving patient outcomes, long term graft survival continues to be a major problem.

A Method for Modeling Growth of Organs and Transplants Based on the General Growth Law: Application to the Liver in Dogs and Humans [PDF]
Understanding biological phenomena requires a systemic approach that incorporates different mechanisms acting on different spatial and temporal scales, since in organisms the workings of all components, such as organelles, cells, and organs interrelate.

Multi-Task Learning for Post-transplant Cause of Death Analysis: A Case Study on Liver Transplant [PDF]
Organ transplant is the essential treatment method for some end-stage diseases, such as liver failure. Analyzing the post-transplant cause of death (CoD) after organ transplant provides a powerful tool for clinical decision making, including personalized treatment and organ allocation. However, traditional methods like Model for End-stage Liver Disease

Method for finding metabolic properties based on the general growth law. Liver examples. A General framework for biological modeling [PDF]
We propose a method for finding metabolic parameters of cells, organs and whole organisms, which is based on the earlier discovered general growth law. Based on the obtained results and analysis of available biological models, we propose a general framework for modeling biological phenomena and discuss how it can be used in Virtual Liver Network ...

Explainable Machine Larning for liver transplantation [PDF]
In this work, we present a flexible method for explaining, in human readable terms, the predictions made by decision trees used as decision support in liver transplantation. The decision trees have been obtained through machine learning applied on a dataset collected at the liver transplantation unit at the Coru\~na University Hospital Center and are ...

A Rule-Based System for Explainable Donor-Patient Matching in Liver Transplantation [PDF]
In this paper we present web-liver, a rule-based system for decision support in the medical domain, focusing on its application in a liver transplantation unit for implementing policies for donor-patient matching. The rule-based system is built on top of an interpreter for logic programs with partial functions, called lppf, that extends the paradigm of
