Two cases of hepatitis E that were assisted in our Unit of Hepatology and Liver Transplantation are described in this article. The first patient had prior hepatic involvement and therefore a more severe course, whereas the second case, with normal liver function, only developed a self-limited acute hepatitis.

Rationale: Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is an infrequent etiology of pleural effusion, characterized by nonspecific thoracic symptoms, which often leads to misdiagnosis and subsequent severe complications. Consequently, early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and the prevention of adverse outcomes. This report presents a rare case of PPF causing bilateral pleural effusions, aiming to enhance clinical recognition of this condition.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to explore the causes, symptoms, diagnostic imaging, pathology, and treatment of primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL).
- - A 61-year-old man with a liver mass, initially thought to have hepatocellular carcinoma, was diagnosed with primary hepatic MALT lymphoma after surgery and received chemotherapy afterward.

The Outcomes of Liver Transplantation in Highly Dependent Incapacitated Patients with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
J Clin Med

Department of General, Transplant and Liver Surgery, Public Central Teaching Hospital, Medical University of Warsaw, 1A Banacha St., 02-097 Warsaw, Poland.
Data regarding the outcomes of liver transplantation in disabled, highly dependent, and legally incapacitated adults are scarce, likely due to the infrequency of these procedures in such populations. Multicenter studies in adult transplant centers have shown that patients with coexisting intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) may be denied transplantation because of their expected low longevity and the complexities associated with managing post-transplant care. We examined the long-term patient and graft outcomes in highly dependent, incapacitated patients with IDDs who underwent elective transplantation for chronic liver disease.

- The Central African Republic (CAR) is experiencing a significant HIV epidemic with diverse and unique strains, particularly atypical non-M HIV-1 strains.
- In a study analyzing over 6,000 HIV-positive samples, researchers identified six rare atypical strains, including three HIV-1 group O and three HIV-2 strains, each linked to different years and areas.
- The findings stress that while HIV-1/M remains the most prevalent type in CAR, the presence of rare strains highlights the necessity for updated surveillance and management practices to address the challenges posed by HIV's genetic diversity.

- This case study discusses a 70-year-old woman who experienced acute hepatocellular hepatitis due to pirfenidone, emphasizing the importance of early detection and reporting of DILI.
