A 48-year-old Australian man of European ancestry received his third liver transplant in February 2013 for hepatic failure precipitated by ischaemic cholangiopathy and secondary biliary cirrhosis. His first liver transplant was performed 10 years earlier for complications of cirrhosis arising from autoimmune hepatitis – primary sclerosing cholangitis overlap syndrome, but required retransplanta...

This report describes our initial in vitro results with roboticallyassisted strain imaging for intraoperative monitoring of hepatic tumor thermal ablation. First, we demonstrate a strong correlation between thermal ablation of liver tissue and changes in elastic properties. Second, we present an experimental environment to provide controlled robotically-assisted compression of liver tissue with...

acute fatty liver of pregnancy (aflp) is a rare entity and a potentially fatal disorder. it is reported to be more common in multiple than singleton pregnancies. sometimes it coincides with preeclampsia but the exact etiology is not yet understood. a 31-year-old g2 p1 patient admitted at 33 weeks of pregnancy with signs and symptoms of jaundice, gastroenteritis, hypertension, malaise, urinary i...

For the first time, pre-hibernation sizes of “storage” organs (liver and fat bodies), type, concentration total content reserve substances (glycogen or lipids) in these muscle tissue, their change during freezing freeze tolerant specimens moor frog (Rana arvalis) Siberian population were studied. In autumn, relative weight liver (hepatosomatic index) studied individuals reaches 10%, which is 2–...

background and objectives: acrylamide is a monomer which is formed in foodstuffs containing carbohydrates altered to asparagine during thermal processing. vitamin e is a component in human diet considered as the most effective lipid-soluble antioxidant found in the biological system. it prevents initiation of oxidative tissue damage. the aim of this study was to investigate the potential role o...

background: recent studies demonstrated that resveratrol has many therapeutic effects on liver disorders. resveratrol significantly increased survival after liver transplantation, decreased fat deposition, necrosis, and apoptosis which induced by ischemia in wistar rats. it provided liver protection against chemical, cholestatic, and alcohol injury. resveratrol can improve glucose metabolism an...

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths. In the liver, carcinoma is the end result of progression through dysplasia as follows: • Dysplastic foci (cytologically atypical, less than 1 mm in diameter, identified incidentally) • Dysplastic nodules (cytologically and/or structurally atypica...

The liver is the primary, if not sole, site of synthesis of the third component of human complement, as shown by a change in the recipient from C'3 FS(0.6) to C'3 SS, the donor type, following homotransplantation of the liver.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 85% of primary liver cancer, the third most common cause cancer-related deaths worldwide. Its incidence has been increasing in both men and women. In Western countries, high-calorie diets, mainly rich carbohydrates such as fructose, represent a significant concern due to their repercussions on population’s health. A high-fructose diet is related devel...

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is an uncommon, potentially fatal disorder that usually occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy or in the early post partum. We present here a 30-year-old Nigerian primigravida with acute fatty liver of pregnancy. She was successfully managed and discharged.
