Consensus document from the Spanish Society for Liver Transplantation: enhanced recovery after liver transplantation.

The goal of the Spanish Society for Liver Transplantation (La Sociedad Española de Trasplante Hepático) is to promote and create consensus documents about current topics in liver transplantation with a multidisciplinary approach. To this end, in November 2022, the 10th Consensus Document Meeting was held, with the participation of experts from the 26 authorized Spanish liver transplantation programs. This edition discusses Enhanced Recovery After Liver Transplantation, dividing needed actions into three periods: preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative.

Liver transplantation using uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors under normothermic extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Because of the organ shortage, non-heart-beating donors have been proposed as a possible source of grafts for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Despite the widespread use of controlled non-heart-beating donors, there are only a few published studies reporting the outcomes with uncontrolled non-heart-beating donors (UNHBDs). A prospective case-control study on adult patients undergoing OLT was designed.

Antimicrobial resistance and phage and molecular typing of Salmonella strains isolated from food for human consumption in Spain.

The aims of this study were to ascertain the population structure and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella enterica serovars isolated in 2002 from food in 16 Spanish regions. Serovars were characterized by serotyping, phage typing, antimicrobial susceptibility, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing, and 264 nonrelated strains were selected for further analysis. The main sources were eggs and their derivatives (21.

Relationship of pulsed-field profiles with key phage types of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis in Europe: results of an international multi-centre study.

Salmonella is one of the most common causes of foodborne infection in Europe with Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) being the most commonly identified serovar. The predominant phage type for S.

Blind comparison of traditional serotyping with three multiplex PCRs for the identification of Salmonella serotypes.

Salmonella serotypes are defined on the basis of somatic (O) antigens which define the serogroup and flagellar (H) factor antigens, both of which are present in the cell wall of Salmonella. Most Salmonella organisms alternatively express phase-1 or phase-2 flagellar antigens encoded by fliC and fljB genes, respectively. Our group previously published two multiplex PCRs for distinguishing the most common first- and second-phase antigens.
