Article Synopsis
- Salmonella spp. cause a range of diarrheal diseases and pose a public health threat, with this study focusing on the therapeutic effects of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856 in mice infected with Salmonella Typhimurium.
- The study found that mice treated with the yeast showed reduced mortality and weight loss compared to control mice, suggesting S. cerevisiae's potential benefits in managing Salmonella infections.
- The yeast improved immune responses, reduced intestinal permeability, and lowered inflammation, leading to less severe liver and intestinal damage, indicating its promising role as a therapeutic agent against Salmonella-induced infections.
Background: Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation is indicated for patients with concomitant end-stage liver disease and end-stage renal disease. The traditional technique involves separate implantations of the liver and the kidney. In the en bloc approach, the liver is recovered en bloc with the right kidney and the donor renal artery is anastomosed to the donor splenic artery.

The contraction mechanism is complex and controlled by different cell types such as enteric neurons, smooth muscle, telocytes, and an important pacemaker of the intestine, the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). The role of ICCs in the progression of acute and chronic Chagas disease remains unclear.

Objective: To report a single-center experience of liver transplantation for diffuse adenomatosis.
Background: Hepatic artery thrombosis is the most common vascular complication of liver transplantation. When occurring late in the postoperative course, it may have no clinical repercussions, and conservative treatment may be implemented. Some patients, however, will develop severe biliary complications due to ischemic cholangiopathy and require retransplantation.
