Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver cancer, often caused by chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, with this study aiming to examine the genomic characteristics of HCC in Egyptian patients through whole exome sequencing.
- Whole exome sequencing was performed on 13 HCC patients who underwent surgery, revealing specific mutational signatures and a set of highly mutated genes associated with HCC, including notable mutations in APOB and RP1L1 across multiple studies.
- The findings confirmed previously established patterns in HCC genetics, identifying critical signaling pathways and potential clinical targets, highlighting the importance of these mutations for future research and therapy development.
Medical professional environments are becoming increasingly multicultural, international, and diverse in terms of its specialists. Many transplant professionals face challenges related to gender, sexual orientation or racial background in their work environment or experience inequities involving access to leadership positions, professional promotion, and compensation. These circumstances not infrequently become a major source of work-related stress and burnout for these disadvantaged, under-represented transplant professionals.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the possible risk factors for bile stone formation on top of biliary stricture, the effects of stones on graft outcomes, and their management.
Background: Patients who undergo living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may suffer complications that require intensive care unit (ICU) readmission.
Aim: To identify the incidence, causes, and outcomes of ICU readmission after LDLT.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent LDLT.
