Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium , typically transmitted through exposure to infected animal secretions. As the clinical signs of Q-fever are largely non-specific in humans, a definitive diagnosis can often be overlooked, particularly when physicians fail to consider on the list of differentials. This case report describes Q-fever in a male patient who had previously undergone orthotopic liver transplantation.

Liver tissue engineering offers potential in liver transplantation, while the development of hydrogels for scalable scaffolds incorporating natural components and effective functionalities is ongoing. Here, we propose a novel microfluidic 3D printing hydrogel derived from decellularized fish liver extracellular matrix for liver regeneration. By decellularizing fish liver and combining it with gelatin methacryloyl, the hydrogel scaffold retains essential endogenous growth factors such as collagen and glycosaminoglycans.

Relevance of perioperative fluid dynamics in liver transplantation to acute kidney injury and patient outcomes: a cross-sectional survey.

J Pharm Policy Pract

December 2024

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Background: Fluid administration is a critical component of perioperative management for liver transplant recipients, and excessive fluid infusion can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) and poor patient outcomes.

Method: We conducted a cross-sectional survey on the fluid intake and output of adult liver transplant recipients over a 7-day period. The patients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups.

Liver transplantation (LTx) is increasingly used in Urea Cycle Defects (UCDs) to prevent recurrent hyperammonemia and related neurological irreversible injury. Among UCDs, argininosuccinate lyase deficiency (ASLD) has a more complex phenotype than other UCDs, with long-term neurocognitive deficits. Therefore, the role of LTx in ASLD is still debated.
