The demand for liver transplantation has led to the utilization of marginal grafts including moderately macrosteatotic livers (macrosteatosis ≥30% [Mas30]), which are associated with an elevated risk graft failure. Machine perfusion (MP) emerged as a technique organ preservation and viability testing; however, little is known about MP in Mas30 livers. This study evaluates outcomes era MP.
With the lack of new antibiotics in drug discovery pipeline, coupled with accelerated evolution antibiotic resistance, sources that target pathogens clinical importance are paramount. Here, we use bacterial cytological profiling to identify mechanism action monounsaturated fatty acid (
The prevalence of obesity is rising in the general population. Donor (body mass index ≥30 kg/m
Transplant centers have traditionally relied upon procurement teams from their own programs (transplant program team [TPT]) to recover donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers and rarely use surgical not affiliated with the recipient center (nontransplant [NTPT]). However, in era of wider geographic organ sharing, greater reliance on NTPTs is often necessary.
