CONTEXT The liver as an important organ in the body has many essential functions in physiological processes. One of the major activities of liver is drug metabolism. Hepatic dysfunction affecting hepatic physiological activities, especially drug metabolism can cause many problems during anesthesia and administration of different drugs to patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Studies on hepatic disor...

Quantitative EEG changes associated with loss and return of consciousness in healthy adult volunteers anaesthetized with propofol or sevoflorane. Validating the sedation-agitation scale with the bispectral index and visual analog scale in adult ICU patients after cardiac surgery. In vivo quantification of liver dialysis: comparison of albumin dialysis and fractionated plasma separation. Brain e...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for pandemic in 2019, commonly causes hepatic dysfunction. Liver injury ranges from mildly elevated liver enzymes to fulminant failure. Interestingly, there are cases that suggest a relationship between autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients who either contracted disease 2019 (COVID-19) or were vaccinated against s...

Liver failure is a clinical syndrome of various etiologies, manifesting as jaundice, encephalopathy, coagulopathy and circulatory dysfunction, which result in subsequent multiorgan failure. Clinically, liver failure is classified into four categories: acute, subacute, acute-on-chronic and chronic liver failure. Massive hepatocyte death is considered to be the core event in the development of li...

INTRODUCTION Hepatic dysfunction is a common finding in critically ill patients on the ICU and directly influences survival. Liver stiffness can be measured by the novel method of transient elastography (fibroscan) and is closely associated with hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease, but also is increased in patients with acute hepatitis, acute liver failure and cholestasis. W...

BACKGROUND Combined iatrogenic vascular and biliary injury during cholecystectomy resulting in ischemic hepatic necrosis is a very rare cause of acute liver failure. We describe a patient who developed fulminant liver failure as a result of severe cholestasis and liver gangrene secondary to iatrogenic combine injury or the hepatic pedicle (i.e. hepatic artery, portal vein and bile duct) during ...

Introduction: Oral and maxillofacial tissue status has a significant impact on the systemic health of elderly patients. Elderly patients without oral diseases are rare to find by dentists. Literature Review: Prevention treatment for caries periodontal should be done patients, except in particular conditions when its not worth risks treatments. Although relationship between is still controversia...

this study briefly reviews the heart abnormalities in diverse intracranial pathologies, including strokes, spontaneous and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, and presents the results of a one-year prospective study of heart abnormalities in patients with moderate to severe head injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhage. different abnormalities such as: qt -interval, t -wa...

Liver transplantation, whether living donor (LDLT) or deceased donor (DDLT), is currently the treatment of choice for patients with advanced liver disease. While initially the focus was on acceptable short-term survival, currently the efforts are aimed at improving longterm prognosis. Thus, focus is now on the quality of life after liver transplantation, as well as prediction and management of ...
