Results of Early Transplantation for Alcohol-Related Cirrhosis: Integrated Addiction Treatment With Low Rate of Relapse.

Background & Aims: In 2018, our team initiated a prospective pilot program to challenge the paradigm of the "6-month rule" of abstinence for patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) requiring transplant. Our pilot involved an in-depth examination of patients' alcohol use, social support, and psychiatric comorbidity, as well as the provision of pre- and post-transplantation addiction treatment.

Methods: Patients with ALD were assessed for inclusion in the pilot by a multidisciplinary team.

Phases' characteristics of poultry litter hydrothermal carbonization under a range of process parameters.

The aim of this work was to study the hydrothermal carbonization of poultry litter under a range of process parameters. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of HTC of poultry litter under a range of operational parameters (temperature, reaction time, and solids concentration) on the formation and characteristics of its phases. Results showed production of a hydrochar with caloric value of 24.

A 10-day toxicity study of toltrazuril 5% suspension in the horse.

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a serious disorder of the nervous system of horses caused by Sarcocystis neurona. Recently, toltrazuril has begun to be used for treatment of EPM. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential toxicity of toltrazuril in horses when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg for 10 days.

Use of polypentapeptides of elastin to prevent postoperative adhesions: efficacy in a contaminated peritoneal model.

We investigated the use of a sheet of polypentapeptide of elastin as a physical barrier to adhesion formation in a contaminated peritoneal wound model. A total of 88 rats were studied with random assignment of animals to three study groups; control (29), polypentapeptide steam sterilized (30), and polypentapeptide gas sterilized (29). Animals were anesthetized and a laparotomy was conducted to reveal the cranial portion of the ileum.
