Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) constitutes the majority of liver transplants in Asia and advancements in LDLT techniques have expanded the range of allografts beyond the commonly used right lobe (RL). This review provides a comprehensive overview of lesser-known variants of allografts and LDLT techniques which include right posterior sector grafts (RPSG), dual-lobe liver transplantation (DLLT), auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT), and extended left lobe grafts with caudate concentrating on the technical aspects, current evidence, and their indications in contemporary practice of LDLT. The first section examines RPSGs, focussing on their potential as an alternative to RL grafts particularly when volumetric studies indicate a larger right posterior sector in donors.

Purpose: Few investigational reports have evaluated the status of cardiovascular manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the Omicron dominance period. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cardiac function parameters and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 before and after the Omicron variant (OV) propagation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 88 adult patients with COVID-19 who underwent clinically indicated standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in intensive care wards.

Studies investigating the mechanisms influencing maximum passive joint range of motion (ROM) and stiffness have not objectively assessed the possible influence of stretch speed and/or arousal state. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of arousal state and stretch speed on healthy individuals ROM, stiffness, gastrocnemius medialis, and soleus electromyographic activity (EMG). Fourteen participants performed one familiarization and then one testing session on separate days in the laboratory.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of measuring collapsibility index (CI) of the subclavian vein (SCV) versus the inferior vena cava (IVC) in predicting hypotension after general anesthesia induction in 132 adult patients.
- During quiet breathing, the SCV-CI and IVC-CI had similar sensitivities and specificities, with SCV-CI showing a sensitivity of 68% and IVC-CI showing 70% for predicting postinduction hypotension.
- The findings suggest both measurement methods are moderately accurate, with a significant positive correlation between SCV-CI and IVC-CI, especially during quiet breathing.
Acute effects of fast, slow, and graded Suryanamaskar on cardiorespiratory and cardiac autonomic functions.

Background: Suryanamaskar (SN) is a popular yogic practice due to its health benefits and fitness promises. This study aims to assess the acute effects of different paces of SN on cardiorespiratory responses and heart rate variability (HRV).
Methods: In this self-as-control comparative study, seventeen male yoga practitioners performed three rounds of SN at fast (FSN), slow (SSN), and graded (GSN) pace in a randomly allocated sequence.
