One hundred fifty liver resections were performed with an operative mortality rate of 4%. Indications for liver resections were 43 primary liver malignancies, 43 metastatic liver tumors, and 64 benign liver diseases. The 3-year actuarial survival rate after treatment of primary liver malignancy was 56%, and that after treatment of metastatic liver tumors was 66%. All but one of 59 patients with...

Fifty-four patients underwent total hepatectomy and liver replacement in the presence of a primary liver malignancy. In 13 recipients in whom the hepatic tumors were incidental to some other end stage liver disease, recurrence was not seen and 12 of the 13 patients are alive after 4 months to 151/2 years. In contrast, tumors recurred in 3 of every 4 patients who received liver replacement prima...

We establish existence and uniqueness of the solution to the cavity equation for the random assignment problem in pseudo-dimension d > 1, as conjectured by Aldous and Bandyopadhyay (Annals of Applied Probability, 2005) and Wästlund (Annals of Mathematics, 2012). This fills the last remaining gap in the proof of the original Mézard-Parisi prediction for this problem (Journal de Physique Lettres,...
