It is not known whether the pig liver capable of functioning efficiently when transplanted into a primate, neither there experience in transplanting from transgenic pigs expressing human complement regulator decay accelerating factor (h-DAF) baboon. The objective this study was to determine porcine would support metabolic functions non-human primates and establish effect hDAF expression prevention hyperacute rejection livers primates. Methods.

The extrathyroid spread (ETS) is one of the risk factors that influence mortality and recurrence in patients with papillary carcinoma thyroid (PCT). aim this study to analyze clinical histologic features follow-up a series ETS undergoing surgery for PCT identify greater presenting ETS.Retrospective 200 PCT, whom 47 (23.5%) presented ETS. were compared those without using Pearson chi(2) test. We used logistics regression model perform multivariant analysis survival disease-free interval rates...
Abstract: Introduction: A considerable number of professionals who work in a hospital could be against organ donation, which means that when the time comes, they act as an obstacle to donation. The objective this study was analyze attitude toward donation and determine factors influence Spanish center with transplant program. Materials methods: carried out third‐level solid random sample taken (n = 1262) stratified by job category type service. Attitude evaluated using validated...
In Spain, despite its high rate of cadaveric donation, death while on the liver transplant waiting list is high. For this reason, living donation being encouraged risk morbidity for donor. The objective study was to analyze attitudes toward among hospital personnel in a with recently authorized donor transplantation program. A random sample taken and stratified by type service job category (n = 1,262). Attitude evaluated means validated psychosocial questionnaire. questionnaire completed...
Portal thrombosis is no longer considered a contraindication for transplantation because of the technical experience acquired in field liver and development various surgical techniques. All same, results obtained portal patients are at times suboptimal, technique used (thromboendovenectomy or veno-venous bypass) also controversial. Between May 1988 December 2001, 455 transplants were performed, which 32 (7%) presented vein thrombosis. Of these, eight belonged to first 227 (group I), 24 other...
Abstract The value of intraoperative frozen-section biopsy thyroid nodules (solitary or dominant in a multinodular goitre) was examined patients who underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for diagnosis before operation. A total 170 consecutive were evaluated and classified according to whether the cytological benign, suspicious malignant. In benign group, diagnostic accuracy 98 per cent FNAC 97 biopsy. those with cytology, 12 96 malignant there 100 76 Intraoperative by frozen...
There is an increasing presence of a population British and Irish origin in southeastern Spain.this native from countries with higher rates living kidney donation than Spain will be very much favour related donation.to analyse the attitude this subgroup towards donation.Between November 2005 April 2006, random sample was taken residents (n = 1700) stratified by respondent's nationality. Attitude evaluated using validated questionnaire that completed anonymously self-administered.The...
Our main objective was to compare liver transplant (LT) results between donation after circulatory death (DCD) and brainstem (DBD) in our hospital analyze, within the DCD group, influence of age on obtained with donors aged >70 years up 80 years. All DCD-LTs performed were analyzed prospectively. The group compared those a control who received DBD-LT immediately each DCD-LT. Later, according donors, considering 2 subgroups cut-off point at 70 Survival for LT super rapid recovery not inferior...

We present the arterial complications arising from 100 orthotopic liver transplants (OLT) carried out in 87 consecutive patients. Mean patient age was 42.5 +/- 12.8 years (7-63). There a predominance of male patients (67%). The most common indications were hepatic cirrhosis (53%) and severe acute hepatitis insufficiency (14%). donor presented 29 malformations, mainly left artery gastric artery, either as single or associated anomaly.
