acute liver failure (alf) is an uncommon, devastating syndrome of which over 2000 cases occur annually in the usa, with a mortality rate of about 80%. alf is de_ned by the sudden onset of hepatic encephalopathy and coagulopathy (inr_1.5) in an otherwise healthy person. the most common etiologies are acute viral hepatitis a and b, medication overdose (e.g., acetaminophen) and idiosyncratic drug ...

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

conclusions despite the adverse effects of inhalational halogenated anesthetics (especially halothane) on hepatic patients when necessary. the effects on all systems must be considered and the necessary preparations must be provided. these drugs are still used, if necessary, due to the presence of positive effects and advantages mentioned in other studies as well as the adverse effects of other...

context patients with hepatic dysfunction suffer from many problems and associated complications in organs other than the liver. therefore, it is very important to investigate the effects of different drugs in the treatment of these patients. due to the high consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), studying the effects of these drugs in patients with hepatic dysfunction is...

background: alcoholic mothers who consume ethanol give birth to infants with high percentage of hepatic diseases. alcohol can cause cellular damage in different tissues, including liver. finding a drug which is effective and efficient in reducing ethanol misuse consequences during pregnancy can assist the decrease of harmful effects of this habit. objective: this research aims to study the effe...

BACKGROUND The clinical features associated with liver disease in patients with advanced heart failure are poorly defined. We investigated the histopathologic spectrum of liver disease in a contemporary population with heart failure to identify the clinical correlates of hepatic fibrosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 61 patients with advanced heart failure undergoing evaluation for ventr...
