Background: During orthotopic liver transplantation, allograft reperfusion is a dynamic point in the operation and often requires vasoactive medications and blood transfusions. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver allografts has emerged to increase the number of transplantable organs and may have utility during donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation in reducing transfusion burden and vasoactive medication requirements.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study involving 226 DCD liver transplant recipients who received an allograft transported with NMP (DCD-NMP group) or with static cold storage (DCD-SCS group).
Background: Over the last decade, the treatment options for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have significantly progressed with the emergence of new medications designed to target various immune pathways and mitigate inflammation. Adalimumab (ADA) is a tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonist and stands as an effective treatment for IBD. In April 2021, the province of British Columbia implemented a mandatory non-medical switch policy of the ADA originator Humira to ADA biosimilars.

- Traditional pain studies have focused on single pain scores, which don't fully capture the complex effects of chronic pain on a person's daily life, mood, and overall quality of life.
- The study evaluated the Nalu™ Neurostimulation System for treating low-back and leg pain through a 90-day follow-up of patients implanted with this device at 15 pain centers in the US.
- Results showed that 94% of participants achieved meaningful improvements in at least two patient-reported outcomes, indicating the system's effectiveness in managing chronic pain.
