Impact of the revised Japanese indication criteria for deceased donor liver transplantation on liver cirrhotic patients of Child–Pugh classification B with hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The revised Japanese deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) criteria may significantly benefit the majority of Child–Pugh classification B patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. However, careful decision‐making and appropriate measures are essential for DDLT registration, as there is a possibility of disease progression or recurrence beyond the ...

Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio at the start of the second course of durvalumab plus tremelimumab therapy predicts therapeutic efficacy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: A multicenter analysis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Durvalumab plus tremelimumab (Dur/Tre) therapy is expected to have good therapeutic efficacy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u‐HCC). We revealed that the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio at the start of the second course (NLR‐2c) value is useful for predicting PFS in u‐HCC patients treated with Dur/Tre therapy.

Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) Assessing Hypercoagulability in Patients Referred for Thrombophilia Screening

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Thrombophilia, a blood coagulation disorder, poses risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Coagulation assays may not be sufficient to assess VTE risk and global assays such as Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) may add valuable information.

Activated Protein C Resistance Testing: An Update From Australasia/Asia‐Pacific

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Activated protein C resistance (APCR) represents a risk factor for thrombosis and is usually due to factor V Leiden (FVL). Clinicians may order either test (i.e., APCR or FVL) to help assess ‘thrombophilia’ in patients who present with thrombosis. APCR testing is usually achieved using clot‐based assays, whereas FVL is assessed by

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Rationale and Objective Older adults in the Emergency Department (ED) often present with nonspecific complaints (NSC) that might be associated with adverse health outcomes due to underestimating the seriousness of the illness by health care workers. Methods We selected a random sample of patients aged 65 or older who complained of weakness and
