Objective: This study aimed to evaluate how cold ischemia time (CIT) interferes with liver graft function in the first 7 days after surgery for Custodiol (HTK) preserved organs.
Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed the medical records of 38 transplantation patients at Hospital Leforte Liberdade, São Paulo, in 2018. The study population was divided into 2 groups (group A, CIT < 8 hours; group B, CIT > 8 hours). Postoperative parameters-such as international normalized ratio, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase, lactate, creatinine, red blood cell transfusion, need for hemodialysis, use of vasoactive drugs, endotracheal intubation time, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and length of hospital stay-were compared.
Results: Group A (CIT < 8 hours) presented less need for red blood cell transfusions (odds ratio 0.29; confidence interval 0.06-0.98; P = .04), had a shorter hospital stay (P = .024), and had lower levels of total bilirubin (P = .05) and GGT (P = .05) in the first 7 postoperative days. The other variables showed no statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: In livers preserved with Custodiol, CIT > 8 hours generated higher levels of total bilirubin and GGT in the postoperative period, in addition to higher hospital costs; greater need for red blood cell transfusions; and longer hospitalization, including longer stays in the ICU.

Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common form of acute kidney injury. The basic mechanism underlying renal IRI is acute inflammation, where oxidative stress plays an important role. Although bilirubin exhibits potent reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging properties, its clinical application is hindered by problems associated with solubility, stability, and toxicity.

Objectives: Choledocholithiasis is the leading cause of biliary pancreatitis and biliary sepsis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered a minimally invasive treatment for choledocholithiasis. However, diagnostic ERCP should be avoided.

Introduction: Golden Retrievers have a high risk of obesity, which is prevalent in dogs and is associated with inflammation and cancer, impairing the health and life expectancy of companion animals. Microbial and metabolite biomarkers have been proposed for identifying the presence of obesity in humans and rodents. However, the effects of obesity on the microbiome and metabolome of Golden Retrievers remains unknown.

Noninvasive diagnosis of human diseases relies on the detection of molecular markers (probes) in a painless manner. Although extrinsic and intrinsic molecular markers are often used, intrinsic disease probes (molecular markers) are preferable because they are naturally present in our body, and deviation in their concentration from normal levels clearly indicates anomalies in human bodies, that is, diseases. In this study, we report noninvasive spectroscopic measurements of total haemoglobin (Hb), bilirubin, and the ratio of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin as disease markers for anaemia, jaundice, and oxygen deficiency, respectively, using a meticulously designed optical fibre probe.

Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) is a recognized tool to monitor neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, demonstrating a high correlation with total serum bilirubin (TSB) before phototherapy. However, once phototherapy is started, TcB may become unreliable. To evaluate the correlation and agreement of TcB measured under variously patched skin at different sites (a coin over the sternum, eye shield over the forehead, and diaper area at the back) with TSB.
