Article Synopsis
- Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder leading to intestinal failure (SBS-IF), and intestine transplantation (IT) is a potential treatment that can help patients return to normal activities.
- This study analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of SBS-IF patients who underwent IT in Brazil from 2011 to 2021, focusing on a small group of young males.
- Key findings reveal that the main reasons for IT included surgical complications and liver disease related to total parenteral nutrition, highlighting the need for insights that could guide health policy and improve patient care.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how to tell if a donated liver is healthy enough to use for transplant by looking at special markers during a process called HOPE.
- They collected samples from livers in 10 different centers across 7 countries and found that the levels of a marker called FMN can help predict if the liver will work well after being transplanted.
- The study showed that FMN is better at predicting liver problems compared to older methods, making it a promising tool for doctors to decide which livers are suitable for transplant.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of proanthocyanidin, palm oil and vitamin E against erosive and erosive+abrasive challenges in vitro after enamel pellicle formation in situ.
Methodology: Bovine enamel blocks (n=84) were obtained and divided into the following treatment groups: negative control (NC) - deionized water; positive control (PC) - SnCl2/NaF/AmF-containing solution; palm oil (PO); 2% proanthocyanidin (P2); vitamin E (VitE); 2% proanthocyanidin+palm oil (P2PO); and 2% proanthocyanidin+vitamin E (P2VitE). For 5 days, one half of the sample from each group was subjected to erosion and the other half was subjected to erosion+abrasion.
Purpose: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a leading cause of death in cirrhotic patients. This study aims to describe the outcomes of in-patients with ACLF at a liver transplantation (LT) center in Brazil.
Methods: Retrospective study analyzing patient data from 2017 to 2022.
Introduction: Erosive tooth wear (ETW) has been gaining attention due to its high prevalence. However, ETW clinical diagnosis is difficult and may go unnoticed by many professionals. The present study aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a theoretical-practical training using active methodologies in the development of undergraduate students' skills for the diagnosis of ETW compared to the traditional teaching method.
