Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how perioperative blood transfusions affect short- and long-term outcomes in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (PLDLT) for small patients, focusing on complications and mortality.
- A total of 240 children were evaluated, with findings revealing that higher volumes of transfusions (over 27.5 mL/kg) were linked to more serious postoperative complications and increased mortality rates over a 10-year follow-up period.
- In the short term, high-volume transfusion recipients experienced more severe infectious, cardiovascular, and respiratory complications but had fewer rejection complications compared to those with low-volume transfusions.
Background: Cancer patients configure a risk group for complications or death by COVID-19. For many of them, postponing or replacing their surgical treatments is not recommended. During this pandemic, surgeons must discuss the risks and benefits of treatment, and patients should sign a specific comprehensive Informed consent (IC).

We aimed to analyze the surgical outcomes of patients submitted to surgery after recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: Asymptomatic patients that had surgery delayed after preoperative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 were matched in a 1:2 ratio for age, type of surgery and American Society of Anesthesiologists to patients with negative RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2.
Seub. (Amaranthaceae) is an endemic species from Brazilian with a fructan accumulating underground reserve system. Analyses of high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC-PAD) revealed the presence of the soluble carbohydrates glucose, fructose, sucrose, 1-kestose, 6-kestose, nystose and fructans with degree of polymerization (DP) up to approximately 40 fructose units.
