Liver transplant (LT) patients have become older and sicker. The rate of post-LT major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) has increased, this in turn raises 30-d mortality. Noninvasive cardiac stress testing loses accuracy when applied to pre-LT cirrhotic patients.
Glenohumeral instability caused by bone loss requires adequate bony restoration for successful surgical stabilization. Coracoid transfer has been the gold standard graft; however, it high complication rates. Alternative autologous free grafts, which include distal clavicle and scapular spine, have suggested.Controlled laboratory study.The purpose of this study was to determine percentage glenoid (GBL) restored via coracoid, clavicle, spine grafts using a patient cohort cadaveric...
AIMTo evaluate the diagnostic value of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) cirrhotic patients listed for liver transplantation (LT), using invasive angiography (ICA) as gold-standard. METHODS Retrieval studies was based on Medical SubjectHeadings Health Sciences Descriptors, which were combined Boolean operators.Searches run electronic databases Scopus, Web Science, EMBASE, MEDLINE (PubMed), BIREME...
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is considered an objective and reliable measure of liver disease severity. However, the use specific laboratory methodologies may introduce significant clinically relevant variations into score. It has been suggested that incorporation sodium MELD (MELD-Na) can provide a more accurate survival prediction than alone. Before implementing organ allocation based on in area with 3 transplant centers, we studied whether there were MELD-Na scores...
Abstract Background & Aims (i) To describe the demographic, clinical, virological and histological characteristics of patients undergoing evaluation for indication triple therapy against hepatitis C virus genotype 1, to identify reasons why candidate are excluded; (ii) evaluate healthcare environment related treatment. Methods Observational, prospective multi‐centred study involving 16 hospitals Spain. Data were collected on 1122 receiving attention in outpatient clinics between June...
Abstract Little information is available regarding acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding as a presenting sign of gastric carcinoma. Of 427 patients with cancer, 36 (8.4%) underwent early endoscopy due to hematemesis. The hemorrhage was self‐limited in 16 (44.4%), most whom elective surgery. Twenty (55.6%) had persistent or massive bleeding, and 13 these surgery surgical mortality 3 cases (23.1%); the remaining 7 were not operated on, died secondary hemorrhage. total rose 10 (27.7%). mean age...
The impact of platelets on liver transplantation (LT) is well recognized, but not completely understood. Platelets exert dichotomous effects the graft and patient. On one hand, they are essential for primary hemostasis tissue repair regeneration. other support ischemia/reperfusion injury inflammatory processes. Recent evidence has shown a new role platelet count (PC) in predicting outcomes after LT.To evaluate if low PC predictor short- long-term LT.Four hundred eighty consecutive LT...
Bone metastases (BM) are rare in patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In many centers, liver transplantation (LTx) policies require HCC to undergo bone scans (BSs).We retrospectively assessed the benefit of BS for a diagnosis wait-listed LTx.BS was performed 259 328 (78.9%) and suggestive BM only one (0.4%). At follow-up, 276 had received LTx, whom 207 undergone BS. Histopathological examination explants failed confirm presence 20 from group. The survival recurrence...
Liver transplantation (LTx) is the primary and definitive treatment of acute or chronic cases advanced end-stage liver disease. Few studies have assessed actual cost LTx categorized by hospital unit.To evaluate unit specialty within a referral center in southern Brazil.We retrospectively reviewed medical records 109 patients undergoing between April 2013 December 2014. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, etiology disease, severity disease according to Child-Turcotte-Pugh...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In Brazil, the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is used to prioritize patients deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receive standardized MELD exception points account their cancer risk of mortality, which not reflected by score. OBJECTIVE: To compare DDLT rates between and without HCC in Rio Grande do Sul, Southernmost state Brazil. METHODS - We retrospectively studied 825 on liver-transplant waiting list...
Over the next 20 years, number of patients on waiting list for liver transplantation (LTx) is expected to increase by 23%, while pre-LTx costs should raise 83%.To evaluate direct medical period from perspective a tertiary care center.The study included 104 adult wait-listed deceased donor LTx between October 2012 and May 2016 whose treatment was fully provided at transplant center. Clinical economic data were obtained electronic records hospital management software. Outcomes interest...
Liver transplantation is the optimal treatment for patients with early hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis. However, recurs in approximately 15 % of individuals. This study aimed to assess efficacy predictive models recurrence after liver transplantation.
Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a rare tumor that arises from the epithelium of bile ducts. It classified according to anatomic location as intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal. Intrahepatic CC (ICC) in patients with cirrhosis due causes other than primary sclerosing cholangitis. Mixed hepatocellular carcinoma-CC (HCC-CC) neoplasm shows histologic findings both HCC ICC within same mass. Due difficulties arriving at correct diagnosis, eventually undergo liver transplantation (LT) presumptive...
Introducción En el contexto actual, los Eventos Supuestamente Atribuibles a la Vacunación o Inmunización (ESAVI) representan una preocupación constante. Este estudio se propuso identificar ESAVIs vinculados tercera dosis de refuerzo con AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1-S) en personal un Hospital Referencia Quito, Ecuador. El objetivo principal fue prevenir complicaciones relacionadas COVID-19. Materiales y métodos Se llevó cabo descriptivo transversal que incluye como participantes individuos, forman...
