This review aims to present the developments occurring in field of artificial organs and particularly focuses on presentation kidneys. The challenges for biomedical engineering involved overcoming potential difficulties are showcased, as well importance interdisciplinary collaboration this marriage medicine technology. In review, modern kidneys research efforts trying provide promise presented. But what problems faced by each technology extent is effort enough date?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative field in computational research with diverse applications medicine, particularly the of liver transplantation (LT) given its ability to analyze and build upon complex multidimensional data. This literature review investigates application AI LT, focusing on role pre-implantation biopsy evaluation, development recipient prognosis algorithms, imaging analysis, decision-making support systems, findings revealing that can be applied...
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) started a revolution that changed age-old surgical stereotypical practices regarding the overall management of patient. In last decade, ERAS has gained significant acceptance in community general surgery, addition to several other specialties, as evidence its advantages continues grow. One remaining fields, given complexity and intricate nature, is liver transplantation (LT).To investigate existing efforts at implementing LT.We conducted systematic...
Liver transplantation is the most important therapeutic intervention for end-stage liver disease (ELD). The prioritization of these patients based on model (MELD), which can successfully predict short-term mortality. However, despite its great validity and value, it cannot fully incor porate several comorbidities disease, such as sarcopenia physical frailty, variables that sufficiently influence survival patients. Subsequently, there growing interest in importance frailty regard to mortality...
Dd-cfDNA is a novel biomarker with many diagnostic applications in various areas of medicine. In this review the literature, we investigate its role diagnosis complications that occur liver transplantations. our review, retrieved data from medical databases PubMed and Scopus. bibliography, concerning contributions dd-cfDNA to field transplantation, such as include signsof rejection or graft injury, are mentioned. Dd-cfDNA, which correlated other biomarkers enzymes, can have high value....
Since the end of 20th century and establishment minimally invasive techniques, they have become preferred operative method by many surgeons. These techniques were applied to liver surgery for first time in 1991, while as far transplantation is concerned their application was limited living donor procedure. We performed a review literature searching Pubmed Scopus using following keywords: Liver transplantation, Minimally surgery(MIS) surgery. Applications MIS are recorded surgeries involving...
Despite great improvements in the short-term patient and kidney graft survival, long-term morbidity mortality transplant recipients still remains a significant problem. The aim of study was to evaluate impact both donor recipient factors, as well renal function indices on very (>25 years) allograft survival.Retrospective analysis performed data 41 (KTR), group A: follow-up = 25 years, 20 KTR, 10 male, mean age (mean [M] ± standard deviation [SD]): 34.6 12.6 14 living donors (LD), 6 cadaveric...
Liver transplantation has evolved into a safe life-saving operation and remains the golden standard in treatment of end stage liver disease. The main limiting factor application is graft shortage. Many strategies have been developed order to alleviate shortage, such as living donor partial split for adult pediatric patients. In these strategies, volume assessment paramount importance, size mismatch can severe consequences success transplantation.To evaluate safety, feasibility, accuracy...
