The most common hepatic procedures performed in companion animals are liver biopsies and partial hepatectomies. Surgery of the biliary tract most often involves the gallbladder, although surgical intervention of the bile duct may also be performed. Hepatobiliary surgery is often challenging, being performed in patients with significant systemic illness and associated with potentially life-threatening complications. An in-depth understanding of the regional anatomy, use of a team concept for patient management, particularly for patients undergoing partial hepatectomy surgery, and provision of intensive perioperative monitoring and support helps minimize complications and maximize outcome.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE RESECTABILITY IN LIVER METASTASIS.

The development of surgical techniques, chemotherapy, biological agents, and multidisciplinary approaches have made patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases eligible for surgery. Many strategies have been developed to allow patients for surgical resection (percutaneous portal vein embolization, liver venous deprivation, parenchyma-sparing liver surgery, reverse strategy, associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy, and liver transplantation), the only form of disease control and curative treatment.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 310 patients. The dNLR, NLR, and GNRI were calculated, and their impact on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed.

Electrolyte imbalance management is crucial in diverse clinical scenarios, with intravenous potassium repletion often required. High-concentration infusions can pose severe complications if extravasation occurs, leading to phlebitis, local tissue damage, or in severe cases, cutaneous necrosis. This risk is elevated in geriatric patients due to factors like reduced tissue elasticity and sensitivity.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association between the white blood cell-to-platelet ratio (WPR) and 28-day all-cause mortality among patients experiencing cardiac arrest.
Methods: Utilizing data from 748 cardiac arrest patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) 2.2 database, machine learning algorithms, including the Boruta feature selection method, random forest modeling, and SHAP value analysis, were applied to identify significant prognostic biomarkers.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether tumor-associated lymphatic vessel density (LVD) could predict the survival of patients with hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) cancers after radical resection.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from the inception to July 31, 2024 for literature that reported the role of LVD in overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with HBP cancers after radical resection.
Results: Ten studies with 761 patients were included for the meta-analysis.
