Background: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) represents the only curative option for patients with irreversible intestinal failure. Nevertheless, its rejection rate surpasses that of other solid organ transplants due to the heightened immunological load of the gut. Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are key players in the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance, suggesting their potential involvement in modulating host vs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Pediatric hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents significant challenges due to its aggressive nature, with survival depending on complete resection. We aimed to assess outcomes between liver resection (LR) and liver transplantation (LT).
Methods: A total of 25 patients were retrieved, four of whom were classified as palliative at diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- - Spain leads the world in deceased organ donation rates and has a well-established network of liver transplant centers; however, about 10% of patients on the liver transplant waiting list may die or deteriorate before receiving a transplant.
- - The country currently lacks a unified national system for prioritizing liver transplants, leading to varying rules among institutions and some regional practices to address urgent needs.
- - A new consensus document from the Spanish Society of Liver Transplantation (SETH) aims to standardize waiting list prioritization, enhance equity, and improve outcomes for patients with severe liver disease across Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric ovarian torsion (OT) is difficult to diagnose due to vague symptoms, so this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical, ultrasound, and lab markers in diagnosing the condition.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective study on patients suspected of OT in seven pediatric hospitals from 2016 to 2022, comparing those with confirmed torsion to those without.
- The study found that a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) correlated with OT diagnosis, suggesting an NLR above 2.57 can help predict the need for urgent surgery in affected patients.
Incidence, management and outcomes in hepatic artery complications after paediatric liver transplantation: protocol of the retrospective, international, multicentre HEPATIC Registry.
BMJ Open
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- Hepatic artery complications (HACs) after pediatric liver transplantation can lead to significant health issues, and this study aims to understand how common they are, how they are managed, and what outcomes arise from these complications.
- The research utilizes the international HEPATIC Registry, collecting data on pediatric patients under 18 who experienced HAC within the last 20 years, focusing on survival rates and treatment success.
- Ethical approval will be obtained from all participating sites, and findings will be shared at conferences and in academic journals, with the study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05818644).
