Several factors are associated with increased hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT), but no reliable risk score has been established to determine the individual for HCC recurrence.We aimed develop and validate a Risk Estimation of Tumor Recurrence After Transplant (RETREAT) patients meeting Milan criteria by imaging.Predictors were tested in development cohort 721 who underwent LT between 2002 2012 at 3 academic transplant centers (University...
Obesity is increasingly common before and after liver transplantation (LT), yet optimal management remains unclear. Our aim was to analyze the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary protocol for obese patients requiring LT, including noninvasive pretransplant weight loss program, combined LT plus sleeve gastrectomy (SG) who failed lose prior LT. Since 2006, all referred with BMI > 35 were enrolled. There 37 achieved underwent alone, 7 SG. In those received gain seen in 21/34, post-LT diabetes...
To investigate the value of viscosity measured with ultrasonographic (US) elastography in liver fibrosis staging and to determine whether use a viscoelastic model estimate elasticity can improve its accuracy staging.The study, which was performed from February 2010 March 2011, compliant HIPAA approved by institutional review board. Written informed consent obtained each subject. Ten healthy volunteers (eight women two men aged 27-55 years) 35 patients disease (17 18 19-74 were studied using...
Ultrasound and magnetic resonance elastography techniques are used to assess mechanical properties of soft tissues. Tissue stiffness is related various pathologies such as fibrosis, loss compliance, cancer. One way perform measuring shear wave velocity propagating waves in tissue induced by intrinsic motion or an external source vibration, relating the elasticity. All tissues inherently viscoelastic ignoring viscosity biases velocity-based estimates elasticity ignores a potentially important...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Multiple factors influence the yield of colonoscopy for detection neoplasia. Few studies have addressed impact duration on procedure yield. The aim our study was to determine whether endoscopist-specific times correlate with number and clinical significance polyps detected at screening or surveillance colonoscopy. METHODS: Procedural data from colonoscopies performed Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN, between January 1, 1996 June 30, 2000, were reviewed. Individual...
Current staging systems for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) are inadequate, as they based on surgical pathology and therefore not relevant to unresectable patients. Clinical trials potential targeted therapies pCCA hampered by the lack of an accurate, nonoperative system predicting survival. We aimed at developing a clinical pCCA, which would be prognostic relevance all patients help stratify trials.Clinical information time diagnosis 413 seen Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN between 2002 2010...
Determining risk for recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following liver transplantation (LT) is an important clinical need. We assessed consecutive patients who underwent LT HCC sequential transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Treatment response was using modified evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) categories: complete (CR), partial (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive (PD). Cox proportional hazard models were used to predict recurrence. One hundred seventy-three...
It has been postulated that short wait time before liver transplant (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) results in the inclusion of tumors with aggressive biology, but prolonged could result a shift to more tumor behavior. We therefore test hypothesis "sweet spot" exists lower risk HCC recurrence compared other 2 extremes.This multicenter study included 911 patients from 3 LT centers short, medium, and long times (median 4, 7, 13 months, respectively) who received Model End Stage Liver...
This article discusses the concept of mentoring as a mutually beneficial relationship in which both mentor and protégé grow result their relational connection. It identifies characteristics from perspective diverse college students. Results suggested that is perceived important for success neither race nor gender were critical influences on process but friendship, nurturance, open‐mindedness, trustworthiness are key to relationships.
Shear wave speed can be used to assess tissue elasticity, which is associated with health. Ultrasound shear elastography techniques based on measuring the propagation of waves induced by acoustic radiation force are becoming promising alternatives biopsy in liver fibrosis staging. However, generated such methods typically very weak. Therefore, penetration may become problematic, especially for overweight or obese patients. In this study, we developed a new method called external vibration...
Background The Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients (SRTR) publishes outcomes of all transplant centres in the USA two times a year. are publicly available and used by insurance payers patients to assess performance programme. Poor can result temporary suspension or termination estimated 1-year survival hazard ratio (EHR) is an important metric reported SRTR. Problem EHR at our institution was 1.13, indicating graft loss rate that 13% higher than national average....
