1. Effects of therapeutic plasma exchange on liver function test and coagulation parameters in acute liver failure patients
ABSTRACT Background: Currently the treatment of choice for critical liver failure is liver transplantation. Liver failure is treated conservatively until a matching liver donor becomes available. The therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) plays an important role as a bridge to transplantation by removing accumulated toxins from patient plasma, as well as restori

2. Avaliação da função autonomica e do transito intestinal em pacientes com cirrose hepatica de etiologia não alcoolica / Investigation of autonomic function and orocrecal transit time in patients with non-alcoholic cirrrhosis : association of autonomic dysfunction with severity of cirrhosis and the occurrence of new onset encephalopathy
Autonomic dysfunction (AD) is common in patients with alcoholic hepatic cirrhosis but information on its occurrence and clinical relevance in patients with non-alcoholic liver disease is contradictory. 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) is considered to be more sensitive than the cardiovascular reflexes to detect autonomic damage. Only a few studies used t

3. Urinary tract infection in non-hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and no symptoms of urinary tract infection: a case series study
Bacterial infections are important factors in decompensation, and they increase the mortality rate of patients with liver cirrhosis. The most common infections among these patients are spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, pneumonia, skin infections and urinary tract infections (UTI). This transversal study evaluated the frequency of UTI in non-hospitalized pat

4. Avaliação de critério pós-operatório de insuficiência hepática como fator prognóstico de mortalidade após hepatectomia: importância da alteração combinada do tempo de protrombina e da bilirrubina sérica / Evaluation of postoperative criteria of liver failure as a prognostic factor of mortality after hepatectomy: importance of the combined alteration of prothrombin time and serum bilirubin
INTRODUCTION. Definition of postoperative liver failure (PLF) is not standardized, rendering complex the comparison of novelties in liver procedures and also the use of possible postoperative therapeutic interventions in due time. METHODS. Between 1998 and 2002, 775 elective liver resections, whence 531 (69%) were for malignancies and 464 (60%) for major res

5. Prevalencia de hipertensão pulmonar no periodo peri-operatorio de pacientes submetidos a transplante de figado
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) [mean pulmonary arterial pressure, mPAP>25mmHg] is frequently found during the post-operative period (post-OP) of liver transplantation (LT). Objective. To compare respiratory function, ICU length of stay (LOS) and 30th day survival rate in patients evolving with PH with those not developing it, during the post-OP of LT. Methods.

6. Mortality in alcoholics with autonomic neuropathy.
Seventy-nine male chronic alcoholics who had been tested for autonomic neuropathy using four tests of vagus nerve function were followed for up to 7 years (mean 5.5 years). Thirty-two subjects had no vagal neuropathy, 25 had one abnormal test and 22 had two or more abnormal vagal function tests and two of these also had orthostatic hypotension. There were no

7. Alagille syndrome: family studies.
Alagille syndrome (AGS) is one of the major forms of chronic liver disease in childhood with severe morbidity and a mortality of 10 to 20%. It is characterised by cholestasis of variable severity with paucity of interlobular bile ducts and anomalies of the cardiovascular system, skeleton, eyes, and face. Previous studies suggest a wide variation in the expre

8. Survival from hepatic transplantation. Relationship of protein synthesis to histological abnormalities in patient selection and postoperative management.
Forty-one patients, all in end stage hepatic failure, underwent 46 liver transplantations with a long-term survival rate of 63%. Six patients died of uncontrollable bleeding due to primary graft malfunction at or immediately after operation. Nine died early or late with overwhelming infection. In addition to clinical assessment, needle liver biopsy, central

9. Risk of liver disease in HCV-seropositive kidney transplant recipients.
OBJECTIVE: This study determined whether renal allograft recipients with antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) at the time of transplantation experienced increased morbidity or mortality from hepatitis, liver disease, or hepatocellular carcinoma compared with patients without anti-HCV. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Chronic liver disease is a cause of significant

10. Improved burn center survival of patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis managed without corticosteroids.
Fifteen consecutive patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis or the Stevens-Johnson syndrome managed without corticosteroids after transfer to the burn center (group 2) are compared to a previous consecutive group of 15 who received high doses of these drugs (group 1). Group 2 had a 66% survival, which was a significant improvement compared to the 33% surviv

11. Brucella arthritis: a study of 96 cases in Kuwait.
Of 400 patients with brucellosis, 104 (26%) had arthritis, of whom 96 could be followed up. The systemic disease in the 96 patients was acute in 54 (56%), subacute in 24 (25%), and chronic in 18 (19%). The main presenting symptoms were joint pain, fever, sweating, and easy fatigability. The joints most commonly affected were the sacroiliac joint (26%) and kn

12. Re-evaluation of pneumonia requiring admission to an intensive care unit: a prospective study.
BACKGROUND--Appropriate treatment of severe community and hospital acquired pneumonias requiring admission to a medical intensive care unit depends on knowledge of the likely aetiological agents in any community. Little is known about the pattern and outcome of patients with such pneumonias in Saudi Arabia. METHODS--In a prospective study 113 patients with p
