Objective: To identify strategies to prevent and treat delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatic surgery.
Background: Among all complications of pancreatic surgery, DGE has the largest impact on prolonged hospital stay. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have addressed DGE after pancreatic surgery, either as primary or as secondary outcome.

Background: Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) occurs in patients with advanced liver disease and can be a contraindication to liver transplant (LT). Improvement of hemodynamic parameters with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies (including endothelin receptor antagonists [ERAs]) may help some patients to become eligible for LT.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective secondary data analysis to describe the clinical course and management of PoPH in patients on a US registry LT waitlist and outcomes in patients receiving an ERA.

Background: The noninvasive detection of subclinical graft injury including subclinical T cell-mediated rejection (subTCMR) is one of the unresolved challenges after liver transplantation. Recently, serum C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8) was proposed as a highly accurate marker of subTCMR in pediatric liver transplant recipients. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the quantification of this chemokine for predicting subTCMR in adult liver transplant recipients, as well as its capacity to classify patients who could benefit from immunosuppression reduction.
