Background Donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver allografts are associated with higher rates of primary non-function (PNF) and ischemic cholangiopathy (IC). Advanced recovery techniques, including thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP), may improve organ utilization patient allograft outcomes. Given the increasing US experience TA-NRP DCD recovery, we evaluated outcomes transplanted TA-NRP. Methods Liver from donors were identified 5/1/2021 to 1/31/2022 across 8...
Many inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) are associated with end-organ damage necessitating organ transplantation. Although utilization of deceased donors history IMD warrants caution, there may be circumstances under which such could considered as suitable donor candidates. We present the first known report liver transplantation from a cystinosis. The was 20-year-old male infantile cystinosis who had previously undergone two kidney transplants. Unfortunately, he incurred cranial trauma, and...
Background Calculation of intracranial volume from neuroimaging can be complex and time consuming. In the adult population, there is evidence suggesting that owing to its strong correlation, head circumference (HC) may used as a surrogate for (ICV). We were interested in studying correlation between HC ICV patients with craniosynostosis. Methods After institutional review board approval, retrospective was performed on GE Healthcare AdW 4.3 assessment software calculate based preoperative...
Abstract Purpose of Review Obtaining negative margins in breast conservation surgery continues to be a challenge. Re-excisions are difficult for patients and expensive the health systems. This paper reviews literature on current strategies intraoperative clinical trials reduce positive margin rates. Recent Findings The best available data demonstrate that imaging with ultrasound, pathologic assessment such as frozen section, cavity have been most successful margins. Emerging technologies...
Abstract Extrahepatic biliary neuroendocrine tumors (EBNETs) are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose. The vast majority diagnosed postoperatively on histological evaluation of surgical specimens. Workup treatment principles largely based retrospective series case reports. Complete resection is the gold standard for these lesions. Here we present a 77-year-old male with biopsy-proven EBNET incidentally discovered during fatty liver disease. Further workup did not show any other...
In order to address lower rates of vaccination in LSOTP, which has been reported as high 11.4% for COVID-199,10, it is critical analyze pre-existing barriers. However, there a paucity literature assessing reasons vaccine hesitancy among LSOTP. Thus, we aimed characterize COVID-19 cohort patients who were listed heart, liver, and/or kidney transplant and did not receive all recommended doses any vaccine. With these results, can inform tailored education outreach efforts centers increase LSOTP rates.

Restorative materials such as composite and amalgam are widely used in dental practice. Various factors, including ease of use, handling, patient preference, influence students' preferences for these materials. Understanding factors is important curriculum development clinical practice education. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the preference students at Islamabad Institute Dental Sciences (IIDC) between restorative procedures identify influencing this choice. Methods: A...
