Liver Transplant for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) tends to be asymptomatic until late stages, leading most of the patients to present at advanced stages of the disease. A combination of medical and surgical therapy is crucial for patient management. Historically, poor outcomes resulted in liver transplantation being formally contraindicated for patients with iCCA; however, recent advances in patient selection and neoadjuvant therapy have resulted in a paradigm shift in liver transplant oncology.

Clinically occult amyloidosis derived from leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 (ALECT 2) with cardiac involvement complicating renal transplantation: case report and literature review.

Introduction: Amyloidosis derived from leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 (ALECT2) may be associated with slowly progressive renal failure that is clinically unsuspected at the time of transplantation. While this is typically clinically insignificant, we report a case with extensive systemic ALECT2 amyloidosis that also involved the myocardium, contributing to perioperative death post renal transplantation.

Case Description: A 72-year-old Hispanic woman presented for renal transplantation due to end-stage renal disease secondary to hypertension.

A study of heavy metal pollution of Asa River, Ilorin. Nigeria; trace metal monitoring and geochemistry.

Chemical and mineralogical characterization of sediments collected from seven different locations along Asa River in Ilorin, Nigeria have been carried out. The total concentration of Mn, Cr, Fe, Zn and Cu were monitored using Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF). The range of concentration of these metals were: Mn (179.
