Multiple Swaps Tested: Rehearsal for Triple and Five Liver Paired Exchanges.

Despite several advances in living donor liver transplant (LDLT), many potential living liver donors cannot donate their organs to their relatives because of blood group incompatibility and unsuitable anatomy. Liver paired exchange (LPE) can be used to overcome incompatibilities between living donor-recipient pairs. In this study, we report the early and late results of three and five LDLTs performed simultaneously to initiate the more complex LPE program.

Global 30-day morbidity and mortality of surgery for perforated peptic ulcer: GRACE study.

Background: There is little international data on morbidity and mortality of surgery for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU). This study aimed to understand the global 30-day morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing surgery for PPU and to identify variables associated with these.

Method: We performed an international study of adults (≥ 18 years) who underwent surgery for PPU from 1st January 2022 to 30th June 2022.

The Prognostic Importance of Cancer Stem Cells in Colorectal Polyps.

Background: This purpose aims to investigate the usefulness of CD133, a stem cell marker, for the prognosis of colon polyps. This study aimed to assess the adenomatous polyps that have an essential role in the development of colorectal cancer. The risk of colorectal carcinogenesis can be reduced by polypectomy and close medical supervision of the patients with adenomatous polyps.

Radiological Associations between Posterior Edentulism and Condylar Bony Changes: A Retrospective Study.

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between posterior edentulism and condylar bone changes in patients aged 35-60 years. The CBCT images of 259 patients, including 131 posterior edentulous and 128 posterior dentulous patients, were analyzed to identify the types of condylar bone changes. The frequency of flattening, sclerosis, erosion, and reduced joint space was found to be higher in posterior edentulous patients.

Association of T>C and C>T Polymorphisms with Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility: A Case-Control Study.

The principal aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between T>C (rs2292832) and C>T (rs11614913) small non-coding RNA polymorphisms and the risk of developing CRC in the Azerbaijani population. The study included 120 patients diagnosed with CRC and 125 healthy individuals. Peripheral blood samples were collected from all the subjects in EDTA tubes and DNA extraction was performed by salting out.
