Successful donation after cardiac death liver transplants with prolonged warm ischemia time using normothermic regional perfusion
Riccardo De Carlis, Stefano Di Sandro, Andrea Lauterio, Fabio Ferla, Antonio Dell'Acqua, Marinella Zanierato, Luciano De Carlis – 26 October 2016 – The role of donation after cardiac death (DCD) in expanding the donor pool is mainly limited by the incidence of primary nonfunction (PNF) and ischemia‐related complications. Even greater concern exists toward uncontrolled DCD, which represents the largest potential pool of DCD donors.

Development and validation of a mathematical equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in cirrhosis: The royal free hospital cirrhosis glomerular filtration rate
Maria Kalafateli, Fred Wickham, Maria Burniston, Evangelos Cholongitas, Eleni Theocharidou, Matteo Garcovich, James O'Beirne, Rachel Westbrook, Gioacchino Leandro, Andrew K. Burroughs, Emmanuel A. Tsochatzis – 25 October 2016 – Current expressions based on serum creatinine concentration overestimate kidney function in cirrhosis, leading to significant differences between “true” and calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

An assessment of benefits and harms of hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance in patients with cirrhosis
Omair Atiq, Jasmin Tiro, Adam C. Yopp, Adam Muffler, Jorge A. Marrero, Neehar D. Parikh, Caitlin Murphy, Katharine McCallister, Amit G. Singal – 24 October 2016 – Although surveillance ultrasound and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) tests have minimal direct harm, downstream harms from follow‐up tests must be weighed against surveillance benefits when determining the value of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) screening programs. Our study's aims were to characterize prevalence and correlates of surveillance benefits and harms in cirrhosis patients undergoing HCC surveillance.
Hyperoxidized albumin modulates neutrophils to induce oxidative stress and inflammation in severe alcoholic hepatitis
Sukanta Das, Jaswinder Singh Maras, Md. Shabir Hussain, Shvetank Sharma, Paul David, Sukriti Sukriti, Saggere Muralikrishna Shasthry, Rakhi Maiwall, Nirupama Trehanpati, Tej P. Singh, Shiv Kumar Sarin – 24 October 2016 – Albumin is a potent scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, modifications in albumin structure may reduce its antioxidant properties and modulate its immune‐regulatory functions.
