Improving Screening for Social Determinants of Health in an Outpatient Complex Care Clinic.

Background: Families of children with medical complexity (CMC) may face challenges related to Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). Although standardized SDoH screening has been implemented in numerous medical settings, there has been limited study of screening among CMC. Our global aim is to improve access to institutional and community resources for families of CMC with identified needs.

A caspase inhibitor fully protects rats against lethal normothermic liver ischemia by inhibition of liver apoptosis.

Apoptosisis activated during the early phase of reperfusion after liver ischemia and after liver transplantation in animals. However, the molecular basis of ischemia-induced cell death remains poorly understood. In this study we show that hepatocytes from ischemic liver lobes undergo apoptosis after reperfusion.
