Angiosarcoma associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome presenting with typical signs and symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report.

Background: Angiosarcoma is a rapidly proliferating vascular tumor that originates in endothelial cells of vessels. Rarely, it can be associated with consumptive coagulopathy due to disseminated intravascular coagulation eventually leading to thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. This specific manifestation is termed Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.

Artificial intelligence-based model for the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.

Background: Artificial intelligence-based models might improve patient selection for liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma. The objective of the current study was to develop artificial intelligence-based deep learning models and determine the risk of recurrence after living donor liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods: The study was a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Patient Selection for Living Donor Liver Transplantation in Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure.

Background And Objectives: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is associated with high short-term mortality without liver transplantation (LT). The selection criteria for LT in these patients are not well defined. The objective of this study was to determine factors associated with post-transplant survival in ACLF.

Survival after extended resections for gallbladder cancer.

Backgrounds/aims: Locally advanced gallbladder cancer (GBC) is associated with survival limited to a few months. Extended resections (ER) are occasionally performed in this group and outcomes remain inconclusive. This study assessed outcomes after ER for locally advanced GBC.

Pancreatic Tuberculosis: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Despite the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in developing countries, pancreatic TB remains a rare disease. Pancreatic TB usually presents as fever, night sweats, and abdominal pain in an immunocompromised individual. We present a case of a patient with end-stage renal disease undergoing pre-transplant workup who had an incidental finding of a pancreatic mass and necrotic peri-pancreatic lymph nodes on a CT scan.

Multivisceral central pancreatectomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor: A case report on a novel surgical technique.

Introduction: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is considered a viable alternative to subtotal distal pancreatectomy, for lesions involving the neck or proximal pancreatic body. Multivisceral central pancreatectomy (MVCP) for locally advanced tumors of the pancreatic body remains unreported.

Presentation Of Case: We hereby report a case of locally advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with gastric involvement.

Metabesity: expert panel recommendation for taking up the challenge by a multidisciplinary approach.

Metabesity refers to metabolic aberrations associated with obesity. These include low- grade inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and changes in gut microbiome. Along with a genetic component, the phenotypes in metabesity are largely the result of sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits.

Khat (Catha Edulis) as a possible cause of autoimmune hepatitis.

Aim: To investigate the potential role of khat in triggering auto immune hepatitis.

Methods: Patients with a history of khat use and acute hepatitis were identified using the computer database in the hepatology department at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. They were then assessed for probability of having autoimmune hepatitis using the revised autoimmune hepatitis scoring criteria.

Improving the quality of care for medical inpatients by placing a higher priority on ward rounds.

Models suggested for managing acute, non-elective, medical admissions include expanding geriatric services, extending the role of the acute physician and rejuvenating the role of the general physician. We investigated improving inpatient care by changing consultants' work patterns and placing a higher priority on the ward rounds. A focus group and a questionnaire were used to study the impact on several ward round parameters.

Effects of smoking on length of hospital stay in patients surviving an orthotopic liver transplant.

Background: Smoking in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients has been associated with increased risk of vascular complications, cardiac events, graft failure and oesophegeal cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of smoking on length of hospital stay post OLT and also to audit support provided to these patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the Liver Transplant Unit, St James University Hospital, UK from 1979 to 2005.
