Gut Microbiota-Derived Metabolites and Their Role in the Pathogenesis of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Infants: A Narrative Review.

: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal disease that occurs predominantly in premature infants and is characterized by the inflammation and necrosis of the intestine, showing high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite decades of research efforts, a specific treatment is currently lacking, and preventive strategies are the mainstays of care. This review aims to help understand the complex interplay between gut microbiota and their metabolites in NEC pathogenesis.

ABO-Incompatible Orthotopic Liver Transplant as a Rescue Strategy for Fulminant Hepatic Failure in a Recipient With Breast Cancer: Highlights on Transplant Management.

Pretransplant malignancy unrelated to hepatocellular carcinoma is a challenging condition in liver transplantation. Standard of care requires the completion of treatments and a disease-free period before the transplant. However, in the setting of a fulminant hepatic failure, these steps cannot be achieved.

Oil Red O Is a Useful Tool to Assess Donor Liver Steatosis on Frozen Sections During Transplantation.

Unlabelled: Oil Red O is a useful tool to assess donor liver steatosis on frozen sections during transplantation. Steatosis is a frequent finding in liver evaluation during transplantation, accounting for 9% to 26% of biopsied donor liver. The degree of macrovesicular steatosis is classified as mild, moderate, and severe; the latter is considered an absolute contraindication to liver transplantation because it is associated with poor allograft outcome.

Neurological complications after liver transplantation as a consequence of immunosuppression: univariate and multivariate analysis of risk factors.

Neurological complications (NCs) can frequently and significantly affect morbidity and mortality of liver transplant (LT) recipients. We analysed incidence, risk factors, outcome and impact of the immunosuppressive therapy on NC development after LT. We analysed 478 LT in 440 patients, and 93 (19.

The "extended" endoscopic endonasal approach for the removal of a mixed intrasuprasellar germinoma: Technical case report.
