Background: Hepatic angiosarcoma is a primary sarcoma of the liver, accounting for only 2% of all primary hepatic malignancies. Acute liver failure is an extremely rare presentation of a primary liver tumour.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a seventy year-old man who presented with a very short period of jaundice leading to fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). On further investigation he was found to have primary angiosarcoma of liver.
Conclusion: The treatment outcomes for hepatic angiosarcoma are poor, we discuss the options available and the need for prompt investigation and establishment of a diagnosis.

Improved Outcomes and Resource Use With Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Liver Transplantation.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix.
Importance: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has been shown to reduce peritransplant complications. Despite increasing NMP use in liver transplant (LT), there is a scarcity of real-world clinical experience data.
Objective: To compare LT outcomes between donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after circulatory death (DCD) allografts preserved with NMP or static cold storage (SCS).
New insight on the acute CCl-induced hepatotoxicity model in rats.

The CCl-induced hepatotoxicity model is a traditional preclinical assay applied to evaluate potential hepatoprotective compounds. However, several studies have used it with inappropriate dose and exposure time, generating both weak response or irreversible liver injury, as well as lack of representative liver and plasma biomarkers. Therefore, this study aims to determine the best dose and exposure time of CCl in Wistar rats, permitting a proper evaluation of potential hepatoprotective effect.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Monash Health, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background And Aims: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) has a 22%-74% 28-day mortality rate and 30%-40% 30-day readmission rate. We investigated the acceptability and feasibility of a multimodal community intervention for ACLF.
Methods: A single-arm nonrandomized pilot study of consecutive participants with ACLF was conducted in a tertiary health service.

In the past, most patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) were treated conservatively. However, strong evidence from various studies has shown that laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is safe and should be the primary treatment for AC. However, this may not be the case for all AC grades.
