Nora M. Fullington, Ryan P. Cauley, Kristina M. Potanos, Laura O'Melia, David Zurakowski, Heung Bae Kim, Christian Seefelder, Khashayar Vakili – 4 November 2014 – The care of pediatric liver transplant recipients has traditionally included postoperative mechanical ventilation. In 2005, we started extubating children undergoing liver transplantation in the operating room according to standard criteria for extubation used for general surgery cases. We reviewed our single‐center experience to determine our rates of immediate extubation and practice since that time.

Strassburg, Hartmut Hecker, Karin Weissenborn, Anita Blanka Tryc – 4 November 2014 – Although central nervous system complications (CNSCs) are common after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), standardized prospective studies are still lacking. This prospective study was aimed at determining the incidence of CNSCs, describing their clinical presentations, and establishing predicting factors.

Lenka Benova, Susanne F. Awad, F. DeWolfe Miller, Laith J. Abu‐Raddad – 4 November 2014 – Despite having the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in the world, the ongoing level of HCV incidence in Egypt and its drivers are poorly understood. Whereas HCV mother‐to‐child infection is a well‐established transmission route, there are no estimates of HCV infections resulting from vertical transmission for any country, including Egypt. The aim of this study was to estimate the absolute number of new HCV infections resulting from vertical transmission in Egypt.

Silver, Shing Chuan Hooi – 1 November 2014 – CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) plays an essential role in cellular differentiation, growth, and energy metabolism. Here, we investigate the correlation between C/EBPα and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient outcomes and how C/EBPα protects cells against energy starvation.
