Use of machine learning models for identification of predictors of survival and tumour recurrence in liver transplant recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading indications for liver transplantation (LT) however, selection criteria remain controversial. We aimed to identify survival factors and predictors for tumour recurrence using machine learning (ML) methods. We also compared ML models to the Cox regression model.

Constrictive pericarditis as a cause of refractory ascites after liver transplantation: A case report.

Background: Refractory ascites is a rare complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The broad spectrum of differential diagnosis often leads to delay in diagnosis. Therapy depends on recognition and treatment of the underlying cause.

[Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Antiaggregation Therapy].

Carotid endarterectomy is a common way of surgical treatment of extracranial carotid artery disease caused by atherosclerosis. Patients are often operated on under local anesthesia with intraoperative application of heparin. Postoperative bleeding occurs in up to 8% of cases, and up to 4.

[Adrenal myelolipoma--report of 15 patients].

Myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-functioning tumor most frequently located in the adrenal cortex. It consists of mature fatty tissue with components of hematopoietic tissue in different proportions. There are certain ambiguities related to the diagnosis and therapy of myelolipoma, and it is therefore important to keep in view all the aspects of the lesion and the circumstances in which it develops.
