Intramuscular fat accumulation has come to be associated with loss of muscle strength and function, one the components sarcopenia. However, impact preoperative quality skeletal on outcomes after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is unclear. The present study evaluated intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC) psoas mass index (PMI) in 200 adult patients undergoing LDLT at our institution between January 2008 October 2013. Correlations IMAC other factors, overall survival rates...
Postoperative morbidity associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) remains as high 70%. However, to our knowledge, few studies have examined quality of life in this patient population.To identify symptom burden and trajectories factors following PD PA.This population-based cohort study patients undergoing PA diagnosed between 2009 2015 linked population-level administrative health care data routinely prospectively collected Edmonton Symptom Assessment...
The effect of body composition disturbances has been recently in focus. Sarcopenic obesity, a co-occurrence low muscle mass and high fat was reportedly predictive mortality patients with cirrhosis. However, the impact interacting sarcopenia overweight on outcomes after liver transplantation is still unclear.We evaluated 200 undergoing adult-to-adult living donor at our institution between January 2008 November 2013 classified according to BMI psoas index (PMI) admission transplant into 4...
Elderly donor grafts for liver transplantation (LT) are recognized to be marginal grafts. The present study investigated the impact of using elderly donors LT. Between June 1990 and August 2012, 1631 patients received LT at Kyoto University Hospital. Out patients, 1597 living (LDLT), whereas other 34 underwent deceased (DDLT). Seventy-five that were used came from individuals who ≥60 years old. We retrospectively analyzed recipients' survival rates according age. overall recipients all LDLT...
Liver transplantation (LT) can be offered to patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond Milan criteria. However, there are currently limited molecular markers on HCC explant histology predict recurrence, which arises in up 20% of LT recipients. The goal our study was derive a combined proteomic/transcriptomic signature predictive recurrence post-transplant using unbiased, high-throughput approaches.Patients who received for criteria the context hepatitis B cirrhosis were identified....
Derangements of various serum biochemical nutritional/metabolic parameters are common in patients with end-stage liver disease who undergo transplantation (LT). The aim this study was to explain the benefit LT respect parameter changes and examine impact graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) on such changes. We investigated each parameter's course 208 adult recipients for 1 year after living donor analyzed a GRWR 0.8% as cutoff point. Bonferroni corrections were applied account multiple...
Objectives Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is a debilitating disease. We sought to analyze symptom burden and trajectories after diagnosis of PAC identify predictors severe symptoms for nonresected patients. Methods This was retrospective review linked administrative health care databases examining patients with not undergoing resection. Primary outcome patient-reported (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System ≥7). Multivariable modified Poisson regression models were used factors associated...
Pancreatic cancer surgery is increasingly regionalized in high-volume centres. Provision of adjuvant chemotherapy the same institution can place a burden on patients, whereas receiving at different closer to home may create disparities care. This study compared long-term outcomes patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma where they had undergone for those institution. was population-based after resection performed ten designated hepatopancreatobiliary centres Ontario, Canada, between 2004 and...
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), or abdominal cocoon is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, and still etiology remains unknown. We report series 4 patients with cocoon, all the had previously undergone living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). There was no evidence SEP before during LDLT. At time diagnosis SEP, 3 out ascites. First fourth multiple episodes attacks cholangitis, which were managed by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage hepaticojejunostomy, respectively....
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare variant tumors characterized by growth within lumen and recognized precursor invasive carcinoma. IPNB was detected incidentally in 60-year-old woman during check up. Radiologic images revealed huge cystic mass with projection markedly dilated ducts. Biopsies high-grade IPNB. Cholangioscopy connection between right posterior cyst epithelial dysplasia duct. Right sectional opened left hepatic Consequently, trisectionectomy...
Anomaly detection is a vital technique for exploring signatures of new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The vast number collisions generated by LHC demands sophisticated deep learning techniques. Similarity learning, self-supervised machine detects anomalous signals estimating their similarity to background events. In this paper, we explore potential quantum computers anomaly through leveraging power computing enhance known method. realm noisy...
