Right lobe living donor liver transplantation is an effective treatment for selected individuals with end-stage disease. Although 1 year morbidity and mortality have been reported, little known about outcomes beyond year. Our objective was to analyze the of first 202 consecutive donors performed at our center a minimum follow-up 12 months (range 12-96 months). All physical complications were prospectively recorded categorized according modified Clavien classification system. Donors seen by...

A Moving Target (MT) defense constantly changes a system's attack surface, in an attempt to limit the usefulness of reconnaissance attacker has collected. One approach this strategy is intermittently change configuration. These must maintain functionality and security, while also being diverse. Finding suitable configuration that form MT challenging. There are potentially large number individual configurations' settings consider, without full understanding settings' interdependencies.

Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the foremost cause of mortality and an important morbidity in renal transplant recipients. The burden likely to increase as older patients are accepted for transplantation. outcome these high‐CV risk after transplantation, especially with known pre‐transplant coronary artery (CAD), has not been studied. Hence, we looked at CV CAD. Methods: All transplants performed between 1998 2002 our center, followed up 2005, were divided into high‐...

Many centers are reluctant to use older donors (>44 years) for adult right-lobe living donor liver transplantation (RLDLT) due concerns about possible increased morbidity in and poorer outcomes recipients. Since 2000, 130 RLDLTs have been performed at our institution. Recipients were divided into those who received a right lobe graft from </=age 44 (n = 89, 68%; median age 30) >44 41, 32%; mean 52). The two recipient populations had similar demographic operative profiles. With follow-up of...
