Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive method of O2 delivery that induces systemic hyperoxia. Hyperbaric chamber consists of a pressure vessel and a compressed breathing gas supply, which can regulate internal pressure. The chamber delivers 100% O2 to patients according to predetermined protocols and is monitored by trained personnel.

Objectives: To review the current indications for liver transplantation (LT) in cirrhosis, including evolving criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other malignancies, how donor organ allocation is established, and to address challenges of long-term complications post-transplantation.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to evaluate advancements in LT indications, pretransplant evaluation protocols, organ allocation strategies, and management approaches for long-term post-transplant complications.
Results: Liver transplantation remains the definitive treatment for cirrhosis and offers substantial survival benefits for patients with early-stage HCC.

Over the last decade, multiple clinical trials have demonstrated a survival benefit for liver transplantation in colorectal cancer with liver metastases. Additionally, advances in donor organ preservation have expanded organ availability affording the opportunity to expand indications for liver transplantation, such as colorectal cancer with unresectable liver metastases. Current data support comparable overall survival (OS) for liver transplantation for colorectal cancer with liver metastases compared with general liver transplantation recipients.

Introduction: In November 2018, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) restricted the use of fluoroquinolones (used by mouth, injections or inhalation) in the context of a referral due to long-lasting and potentially irreversible adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Fluoroquinolones should no longer be used to treat mild or moderate bacterial infections unless other antibacterials cannot be used.
Objectives: The first aim of our study was to analyze whether in the period before compared with after the referral the characteristics of spontaneous ADR reports related to fluoroquinolones differed and whether specific ADRs were more frequently reported for fluoroquinolones compared with cotrimoxazole.
