A 60-Year Literature Review on Hepatic Actinomycosis.

Hepatic actinomycosis (HA) is a rare infection with an indolent course, atypical clinical manifestations, nonspecific laboratory and imaging findings, and challenging diagnosis. We describe a case of a 35-year-old female who developed HA 2 weeks after gastrectomy. In addition, we analyzed clinical characteristics and outcome of 157 additional cases of HA identified in a 60-year literature review.

Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate versus University of Wisconsin solution in living donor liver transplantation: results of a prospective study.

The grafts obtained from a living donor hepatectomy are perfused on the back table with either University of Wisconsin solution (UW) or histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution (HTK). The efficacy and safety of these solutions have been studied in cadaveric liver transplantation, however, there is no study comparing the two solutions in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation. In this study, UW and HTK were used in the perfusion of right living donor grafts.
