Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurs as a part of the natural history of cirrhosis in up to 15% of patients with cirrhosis. In the initial days, PVT was considered a contraindication to liver transplantation, but now with advanced techniques and perioperative management, patients with complex PVT also undergo living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with a similar outcome. This review provides a comprehensive overview of methods to proceed with liver transplantation when the recipient has PVT.

The delivery of molecules, such as DNA, RNA, peptides, and certain hydrophilic drugs, across the epidermal barrier poses a significant obstacle. Microneedle technology has emerged as a prominent area of focus in biomedical research because of its ability to deliver a wide range of biomolecules, vaccines, medicines, and other substances through the skin. Microneedles (MNs) form microchannels by disrupting the skin's structure, which compromises its barrier function, and facilitating the easy penetration of drugs into the skin.

Introduction: Liposomal hydrogels are novel drug delivery systems that comprise preformed liposomes incorporated in hydrogels destined for mostly localized drug therapy, herewith antimicrobial therapy. The formulation benefits from versatility of liposomes as lipid-based nanocarriers that enable delivery of various antimicrobials of different lipophilicities, and secondary vehicle, hydrogel, that assures better retention time of formulation at the infection site. Especially in an era of alarming antimicrobial resistance, efficient localized antimicrobial therapy that avoids systemic exposure of antimicrobial and related side effects is crucial.
