LI‐RADS (Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System): Summary, discussion, and consensus of the LI‐RADS Management Working Group and future directions

Donald G. Mitchell, Jordi Bruix, Morris Sherman, Claude B. Sirlin – 12 July 2014 – To improve standardization and consensus regarding performance, interpreting, and reporting computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the liver in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), LI‐RADS (Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System) was launched in March 2011 and adopted by many clinical practices throughout the world.

Reframing the impact of combined heart‐liver allocation on liver transplant wait‐list candidates

David S. Goldberg, Peter P. Reese, Sandra Amaral, Peter L. Abt – 11 July 2014 – Simultaneous heart‐liver (H‐L) transplantation, although rare, has become more common in the United States. When the primary organ is a heart or liver, patients receiving an offer for the primary organ automatically receive the second, nonprimary organ from that donor. This policy raises issues of equity, such as whether liver transplantation alone candidates bypassed by H‐L recipients are disadvantaged.

Comparing living donor and deceased donor liver transplantation: A matched national analysis from 2007 to 2012

Richard S. Hoehn, Gregory C. Wilson, Koffi Wima, Samuel F. Hohmann, Emily F. Midura, E. Steve Woodle, Daniel E. Abbott, Ashish Singhal, Shimul A. Shah – 11 July 2014 – A complete evaluation of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in the United States has been difficult because of the persistent low volume and the lack of adequate comparisons with deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). Recent reports have suggested outcomes equivalent to those for DDLT, but these studies did not adjust for differences in recipient selection.

Cooperation of C/EBP family proteins and chromatin remodeling proteins is essential for termination of liver regeneration

Jingling Jin, Il‐Hwa Hong, Kyle Lewis, Polina Iakova, Meghan Breaux, Yanjun Jiang, Emily Sullivan, Nicole Jawanmardi, Lubov Timchenko, Nikolai A. Timchenko – 9 July 2014 – Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer. A highly invasive surgical resection of the liver tumor is the main approach used to eliminate the tumor. Mechanisms that terminate liver regeneration when the liver reaches the original size are not known.
