Functional Capacity, Respiratory Muscle Strength, and Oxygen Consumption Predict Mortality in Patients with Cirrhosis

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Introduction. Liver diseases influence musculoskeletal functions and may negatively affect the exercise capacity of patients with cirrhosis. Aim. To test the relationship between the six‐minute walk test (6MWT), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and exercise capacity (VO2peak) measures and the survival rate of patients with cirrhosis. Methods.

A Hemodynamic Study to Evaluate the Buffer Response in Cirrhotic Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation

open access: yesInternational Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The physiological regulation of the liver blood flow is a result of a reciprocal portal vein and hepatic artery flow relationship. This mechanism is defined as the hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR). This study was addressed to investigate whether HABR is maintained in denervated grafts in liver transplant recipients.

The Current State of Knowledge of Hepatic Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury Based on Its Study in Experimental Models

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The present review focuses on the numerous experimental models used to study the complexity of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although experimental models of hepatic I/R injury represent a compromise between the clinical reality and experimental simplification, the clinical transfer of experimental results is problematic because of ...

The Current Knowledge of the Role of PPAR in Hepatic Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

open access: yesPPAR Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Strategies to improve the viability of steatotic livers could reduce the risk of dysfunction after surgery and increase the number of organs suitable for transplantation. Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors (PPARs) are major regulators of lipid metabolism and inflammation. In this paper, we review the PPAR signaling pathways and present some of

Perforation of the Right Ventricle Induced by Pulmonary Artery Catheter at Induction of Anesthesia for the Surgery for Liver Transplantation: A Case Report and Reviewed of Literature

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
We report a case of a 45‐year‐old male patient diagnosed with liver cirrhosis by hepatitis C and alcohol, with a Child‐Pugh score C and a model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score of 27, and submitted to liver transplantation. The subject underwent insertion of the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) in the right internal jugular vein, with technical ...
