Background: Ex situ machine perfusion of the donor liver, such as dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE), is increasingly used in liver transplantation. Although DHOPE reduces ischemia/reperfusion-related complications after liver transplantation, data on cost-effectiveness are lacking. Our objective was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of DHOPE in donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation.

The detection of endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (EAAS) is performed with the Steroidal Module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP). Glucocorticoids (GC) could be a confounding factor to the ABP Steroidal Module because they inhibit the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and ABP metabolites have partial adrenal origin. In previous studies, single-dose systemic GC administrations have been shown to reduce the urinary ratios A/T and 5αdiol/E.

Background: The reported benefit of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance in patients with newly diagnosed and platinum (Pt)-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) included in randomized clinical trials needs to be corroborated in a less selected population.
Objective: The aim is to increase the evidence on niraparib in a real-world setting.
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study including women with platinum-sensitive relapsed high-grade serous OC who started niraparib maintenance between August 2019 (marketing data, Spain) and May 2022.
