A red-green-blue camera-based imaging method is proposed for estimating spatial maps of concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (), deoxyhemoglobin (), total hemoglobin (), tissue oxygen saturation (), and scattering power () in liver tissue. Hemodynamic responses to hepatic ischemia-reperfusion of rat liver tissues induced by portal triad occlusion were evaluated. Upon portal triad occlusion, this method yielded images of decreased , , , and , and increased followed by a progressive increase in and during reperfusion. Time courses of the changes in , , , and over different regions of interest (ROI) revealed that ischemia results in an abrupt significant (<0.05) reduction in , , and with a simultaneous increase in compared to the baseline level, indicative of the hemodynamic responses during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion. Upon reperfusion, there was a gradual increase in and , and decrease in . The change in average scattering power implies the presence of morphological alterations in the cellular and subcellular structures induced by ischemia or anoxia. This study shows the potential of monitoring spatiotemporal changes in hemodynamic parameters and morphological changes in studies of hepatic pathophysiology.

BACKGROUND The configuration of the hepatic arteries is known to vary substantially between individuals. Here, we report a rare retroperitoneal configuration of an accessory hepatic artery existing alongside a left and right hepatic artery branching from the proper hepatic artery. During routine dissection, we discovered an anomalous configuration of the hepatic arteries that does not fit the commonly used categorizations for abnormal hepatic vasculature.

Understanding cell fate regulation in the liver is necessary to advance cell therapies for hepatic disease. Liver progenitor cells (LPC) contribute to tissue regeneration after severe hepatic injury yet signals instructing progenitor cell dynamics and fate are largely unknown. The Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases, TIMP1 and TIMP3 control the sheddases ADAM10 and ADAM17, key for NOTCH activation.

Background: Susac syndrome (SuS) is a rare immune-mediated microangiopathy with potential disabling evolution. We aimed to analyze brain microstructural damage through diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in SuS and determine its association with poor outcomes.
Method: CarESS study is a prospective multicenter national cohort study of patients with SuS.
A systematic review and meta-analysis: prevalence and clinical implications of anatomical variants of the hepatic portal vein.

Article Synopsis
- The hepatic portal vein (HPV) collects blood from several organs including the liver and intestines, and plays a key role in metabolizing blood components.
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of HPV variants and their clinical implications, utilizing multiple databases and data from 31 studies, focusing mostly on research from Europe and Asia.
- Findings revealed varying prevalence of HPV anatomical variants, which are important for medical professionals to consider in diagnosis and surgical procedures due to their potential impact on abdominal cavity health.
Residual Ultrasound-Enhancing Agents Mimicking Portal Venous Gas.
Ultrasound Q

Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Sonographic detection of mobile echogenic foci within the main portal vein and its branches or within the liver parenchyma extending along the portal triads to the periphery of the liver is an alarming finding that has been associated with portal venous gas in the setting of bowel ischemia. Ultrasound-enhancing agents (UEAs) have been widely utilized in abdominal ultrasound for evaluation of organ neoplasms and vascular patency as well as in echocardiography for the evaluation of cardiac function. The appearance of UEAs on abdominal ultrasound can resemble gas like that seen in the portal venous system and liver in patients with bowel ischemia; therefore, UEA residuals should always be a part of the differential diagnosis of echogenic foci when seen on abdominal ultrasounds with preceding recent UEA administration.
