Abstract Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) represent the standard of therapy for non-operative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), while prediction long term treatment outcomes is a complex and multifactorial task. In this study, we present novel machine learning approach utilizing radiomics features from multiple organ volumes interest (VOIs) to predict TACE 252 HCC patients. Unlike conventional models requiring laborious manual segmentation limited tumoral regions, our captures...

Abstract Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) for treatment of acute appendicitis has gained acceptance with its considerable benefits over open appendectomy. LA, however, can involve some adverse outcomes: morbidity, prolonged length hospital stay (LOS) and readmission. Identification predictive factors may help to identify tailor patients higher risk these events. Our aim was serious LOS readmission after LA. A database compiled information admitted from eighteen Polish German surgical centers....

Background: Lymph node metastasis and positive resection margins have been reported to be major determinants of overall survival (OS) poor recurrence-free (RFS) for patients who underwent perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA). However, the prognostic value lymph nodes independently from margin status on OS has not evaluated. Methods: From European Cholangiocarcinoma (ENSCCA) registry, pCCA between 1994 2021 were included in this retrospective cohort study. The primary outcome was stratified...

Background: Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion has emerged as a strategy to alleviate ischemic-reperfusion injury in liver grafts. Nevertheless, there is limited data on the effectiveness of hypothermic evaluating organ quality. This study aimed introduce readily accessible real-time predictive biomarker measured perfusate for post-transplant graft function. Methods: The evaluated analytes over 90-day postoperative period 26 patients randomly assigned receive following dual prospective...

Biliary cancer, comprising cholangio- and gallbladder carcinomas, is associated with high mortality due to asymptomatic disease onset resulting late diagnosis. Currently, no robust diagnostic biomarker clinically available. Therefore, we explored the feasibility of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a liquid biopsy tool for biliary cancer screening hepatobiliary differentiation.Serum EVs hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal non-small cell lung patients, well from healthy individuals, were...

Abstract Background The gut microbial ecosystem plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. However, association community structure with severity dysfunction is not completely understood. Methods Fecal microflora was assessed 40 patients cirrhosis listed for primary transplantation ( LT ).

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) induces ischemic tumor necrosis, which is intensified by regional chemotherapy. By reducing the active tissue, it can be assumed that patients on waiting list for liver transplantation may benefit from this locoregional treatment. The aim of study was to assess relevance TACE in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before transplantation.A retrospective analysis performed data 229 who were transplanted HCC. A group 75 treated with prior transplantation. Tumor...

Data on routine hypothermic machine perfusion of livers procured from donors after brain death (DBD) are scarce, and the benefits method have only been demonstrated in extended criteria grafts. The aim this study was to assess if end-ischemic dual oxygenated (dHOPE) is superior static cold storage (SCS) preservation DBD with respect long-term outcomes. Existing data short-term outcomes favours dHOPE patients receiving high-risk
