Objectives: Body composition assessment includes the parameter skeletal muscle mass, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT and VAT). The purpose of this study was to elucidate associations of body composition parameters with mortality in patients with acute bleeding undergoing transarterial embolization (TAE).
Methods: A mixed cohort of patients from 2018 to 2022 with acute bleeding requiring treatment with a TAE was retrospectively evaluated.
Objective: This study explored the novel application of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for in vivo allograft perfusion assessment during liver transplantation (LT) and its potential value for predicting early allograft dysfunction (EAD), graft, and overall survival (OS).
Background: LT is a well-established therapy for acute and chronic liver diseases, with excellent outcomes. However, a significant proportion of recipients experience EAD, which affects graft and OS.
: Sleep deprivation and disturbances in circadian rhythms may hinder surgical performance and decision-making capabilities. Solid organ transplantations, which are technically demanding and often begin at uncertain times, frequently during nighttime hours, are particularly susceptible to these effects. This study aimed to assess how transplant operations conducted during daytime versus nighttime influence both patient and graft outcomes and function.

- The Node-RADS classification system aims to improve the assessment of lymph nodes in cancer imaging, specifically in patients with colon cancer.
- The study analyzed imaging from 108 patients who underwent surgery, with lymph node evaluations conducted by two radiologists to assess inter-reader variability and diagnostic accuracy.
- Findings indicate that while the Node-RADS score can differentiate between negative and positive lymph node stages, its diagnostic accuracy is limited, and there is significant variability between radiologists in their assessments.
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of recipient underweight on the short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing primary kidney transplantation (KT).
Patients And Methods: Three hundred thirty-three patients receiving primary KT in our department between 1993 and 2017 were included in the study. Patients were divided according to their body mass index (BMI) into underweight (BMI <18.
