Article Synopsis
- Staphylococcus aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant variants (MRSA), poses a significant risk to cystic fibrosis patients, with a study in Spain focusing on isolates from a high pig-farming area.
- Among 42 isolates from cystic fibrosis patients, 21.4% were identified as MRSA, with many showing multidrug resistance and belonging to various clonal complexes, including the livestock-associated CC398 strain.
- The study highlights a concerning prevalence of the LA-MRSA-CC398 lineage in cystic fibrosis patients, signaling a need for increased monitoring in regions with intensive pig farming.
Background And Aims: Liver regeneration is essential for the preservation of homeostasis and survival. Bile acids (BAs)-mediated signaling is necessary for liver regeneration, but BAs levels need to be carefully controlled to avoid hepatotoxicity. We studied the early response of the BAs-fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) axis in healthy individuals undergoing hepatectomy for living donor liver transplant.

Methods: We included patients with lesions located in segments 7 and 8 operated by minimally invasive liver surgery from an international multi-institutional database.
Objective: Examine portal hypertension (PHT) impact on postoperative and survival outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after liver resection (LR), specifically exploring distinctions between indirect signs and invasive measurements of PHT.
Background: PHT has historically discouraged LR in individuals with HCC due to the elevated risk of morbidity, including liver decompensation (LD).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using 3 databases to identify prospective-controlled and matched cohort studies until December 28, 2022.
