Introducción. El trasplante hepático con donante vivo (THDV) es una técnica quirúrgica desarrollada para enfrentar la baja tasa de donación. La selección del crucial minimizar los riesgos y maximizar resultados receptor. volumetría hepática derecha mediante tomografía computada (VTCHD) uno pasos más importantes al planificar hepatectomía (HDDV). Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo todos pacientes sometidos a HDDV en HCUC, entre enero 2016-diciembre 2021. Se compararon VTCHD corregida (VTCHDc)...
Emerging pollutants (EPs) are contaminants detected in water bodies that lack thorough prior investigation, resulting limited regulatory frameworks for their control. This poses a significant threat to regions heavily reliant on groundwater agriculture, drinking water, and other essential uses. The Canary Islands, particularly El Hierro La Palma, serve as critical case studies due unique ecosystems dependence groundwater. Hierro, designated UNESCO biosphere reserve 2000, operates primarily...
Background: Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is a common injury with an estimated incidence of about 7 to 40 per 100,000 person-years. Identifying risk factors for ATR important step toward prevention. Modifiable factors, such as body mass index (BMI), are particular interest because the potential intervention, and recent studies have shown mixed results BMI factor ATR. This case-control study aims compare patients diagnosed primary age sex-matched controls ankle sprain. Methods: A...
The Balance of Risk (BAR) Score, a simple scoring system that combines six independent donor and recipient variables to predict outcome after liver transplantation (LT), was validated in large U.S./European cohort patients. This study aims assess the performance BAR score survival determine factors associated with short long-term Latin-American A retrospective performed 194 patients [112 (55.4%) males; mean age 52 ± 14 years] who underwent 202 LT during period 2003–2015. Demographic,...
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a complication of portal hypertension (PH) defined by the presence liver disease, abnormal pulmonary gas exchange and evidence intrapulmonary vascular dilatations (IPVD) producing right to left shunt. Liver transplantation (LT) treatment choice; however, severe hypoxemia may contraindi-cate LT. The use transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunts (TIPS) could be effective in HPS, although available data limited. Aim: To report clinical case HPS treated...
A General Surgery Residency may last between 2-6 years, depending on the country. shorter must optimize residents' surgical exposure. Simulated training is known to shorten learning curves, but information related how it affects a regarding clinical exposure scarce.To analyze effect of introducing validated laparoscopic simulated program in abdominal procedures performed by residents three-year program.A non-concurrent cohort study was designed. Four-generations (2012-2015) graduated...
Summary Background Per‐oral tacrolimus administration is not always practicable. Sublingual a potential alternative, but its feasibility and effectiveness compared with oral route has been established. Aim To compare drug exposure after sublingual in liver transplant recipients. Methods Experimental, open‐label, non‐randomised, cross‐over study. Tacrolimus was evaluated 32 recipients receiving administration. 12 h area‐under‐the‐curve ( AUC 0–12 ) calculated using blood concentrations at...
Liver transplantation is an excellent therapeutic option for terminal liver disease. During the last decades results of have improved significantly with a patient survival rate nearly 90% at one year and 80% 5 years follow-up. The main indications include: end-stage disease associated to cirrhosis, acute failure, hepatic tumors (mainly hepatocarcinoma). absolute contraindications transplant are less frequent than in past, severe co-morbidity (cardiac or pulmonary), sepsis, advanced HIV...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> One hallmark of chronic liver disease in patients with portal hypertension is the formation portal-systemic collaterals which angiogenesis has a fundamental role. We studied undergoing transplantation to correlate levels circulating angiogenic factors and peripheral circulation pressure collaterals. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sixteen who underwent were enrolled. During transplant surgery, we determined venous...
