Outcome and development of symptoms after orthotopic liver transplantation for Wilson disease.

Background: Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive copper storage disease resulting in hepatic and neurologic dysfunction. Liver transplantation is an effective treatment for fulminant cases for patients with chronic liver disease. Reports on the outcome of neuropsychiatric symptoms after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are limited.

Quantitative volumetry of cement leakage in viscosity-controlled vertebroplasty.

Study Design: This study was designed as a cohort study comparing a prospective sample to a historic control group.

Objective: The aim of the actual trial was to compare the rate of cement leakage by quantitative volumetry comparing viscosity-controlled and non-viscosity-controlled vertebroplasty.

Summary Of Background Data: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a widespread safe and effective technique in the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures and vertebral metastatic lesions.
