Identifying In-Hospital Risk Factors for Post-liver Transplant Seizures.

Background Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving intervention for end-stage liver disease; however, postoperative complications, particularly neurological issues such as seizures, pose significant challenges. This study aims to identify perioperative factors associated with seizures following LT and develop a predictive risk model. By recognizing these in-hospital risk factors, clinicians may tailor perioperative management to mitigate seizure risk and improve neurological outcomes.

Thyroid function, autoimmunity, thyroid volume, and metabolic profile in people with Hashimoto thyroiditis.

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is associated with high cardiovascular risk. Thyroid volume has a notable dispersion of values in these patients. This study aims to clarify the association between thyroid antibodies, thyroid morphology, insulin resistance, and lipid profile in patients with HT.

Sensitive Monitoring of the Minimum Inhibitor Concentration under Real Inorganic Scaling Scenarios.

Flow assurance is a long-term challenge for oil and gas exploration as it plays a key role in designing safe and efficient operation techniques to ensure the uninterrupted transport of reservoir fluids. In this regard, the sensitive monitoring of the scale formation process is important by providing an accurate assessment of the minimum inhibitor concentration (MIC) of antiscale products. The optimum dosage of antiscale inputs is of pivotal relevance as their application at concentrations both lower and higher than MIC can imply pipeline blockages, critically hindering the entire supply chain of oil-related inputs and products to society.
