Background: Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the advantages of oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion (HMPO) during kidney preservation. However, the optimal oxygenation levels during HMPO remain undetermined. The aim of this study was to compare different levels of oxygenation (0%, 21%, 50%, and 100%) during 22 h of active oxygenated HMP (HMPO) using oxygen preloading by bubbling oxygenation in the preservation solution and continuous surface oxygenation during MP in a porcine DCD model.

Article Synopsis
  • The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system is crucial for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); recent updates allow for BCLC stage B patients to consider liver transplantation, while hepatectomy is now discouraged.
  • A systematic review analyzed 31 studies involving 3163 patients to compare survival rates, postoperative complications, and patient selection for liver resection versus transplantation in BCLC stage B patients.
  • Results showed that while resection had a 50-month survival and a 15-month recurrence-free period, data on transplantation was limited, with only one study reporting on it, indicating the need for more research in this area.

We have assessed the chatbot Generative Pretrained Transformer, a type of artificial intelligence software designed to simulate conversations with human users, in an experiment designed to test its relevance to scientific writing. chatbot Generative Pretrained Transformer could become a promising and powerful tool for tasks such as automated draft generation, which may be useful in academic activities to make writing work faster and easier. However, the use of this tool in scientific writing raises some ethical concerns and therefore there have been calls for it to be regulated.
