Background/aims: Mushroom intoxication poses a considerable public health risk due to its potential for severe toxicity and fatality. This study aims to investigate demographic trends, diagnostic locations, and mortality rates of patients with mushroom intoxication.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the National Electronic Database of the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Objective: Our aim was to present the results of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) between February 2015 and June 2021.
Methods: Clinical data included LDLT indications, time to perform ERCP after LDLT, number of ERCP procedures, indications for ERCP, and all treatment outcomes, including ERCP, percutaneous, and surgical interventions. We compared the obtained data with our previous study published by our team in 2018, which included 446 patients who underwent ERCP for biliary complications after LDLT between 2005 and 2015.
Background And Aim: Several tumor and non-tumor factors affect the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load on tumor and non-tumor factors in patients with HBV-associated HCC.
Materials And Methods: Patients with hepatitis B and HCC who presented to the HCC council at the Faculty of Medicine, Marmara University Liver Transplantation Institute, were included in our study.
Background: Intestinal barrier dysfunction in acute pancreatitis (AP) may progress to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multi-organ failures by causing bacterial translocation. Larazotide acetate (LA) is a molecule that acts as a tight junction (TJ) regulator by blocking zonulin (Zo) receptors in the intestine.
Aims: In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of LA on intestinal barrier dysfunction and bacterial translocation in the AP model in rats.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored the reasons for liver transplantation (LT) and the characteristics of patients who underwent the procedure in Turkiye from 2010 to 2020, involving over 5,000 adult patients.
- - The findings revealed that the average patient age was about 50, with most being female, and chronic viral hepatitis was the leading cause for LT, particularly Hepatitis B.
- - Although chronic viral hepatitis remains the top reason for LT, there has been a noticeable increase in surgeries related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcohol-related liver disease in recent years.
