Evaluation of standard liver volume formula for Chinese adults
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been used to alleviate the shortage of available liver donors. Accurate estimation of the standard liver volume (SLV) of the living donor and recipient is crucial. view more (2009-09-16)
Targeting nerve growth factor may cure liver cancer
Nerve growth factor (NGF), as the name says, is an essential peptide factor for the growth and differentiation of neuronal cells. Therefore we can imagine that this growth factor is important for the nervous system including brain. view more (2007-09-19)
Lower tacrolimus doses is suitable for living donor liver transplantation with small-for-size graft
Several studies have shown that living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients required smaller doses of tacrolimus compared with deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) patients, which indicated that liver regeneration could affect the metabolism of tacrolimus in LDLT. view more (2009-08-27)
Research offers hope of new treatments for liver damage 'plague'
Millions of patients suffering from liver damage (cirrhosis) and failure may benefit from research by the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh that could lead to new life-saving treatments. There is currently no cure for liver cirrhosis and a patient's only hope of survival is to receive a liver transplant. view more (2005-01-05)
Women given liver transplants outlive male recipients by around 4 years
Female liver transplant recipients outlive men given the same procedure by an average of 4.5 years, suggests research published ahead of print in Gut. view more (2006-09-28)
Why could ethyl pyruvate attenuate severe acute pancreatitis?
Excessive activation of inflammatory mediator cascade during SAP is a major cause of distant organ injury and the high mortality. view more (2008-10-13)
Doubling of deaths from liver cancer in 30 years
Deaths from liver cancer have almost doubled in the past 30 years, shows research in Gut. A relatively rare type of liver cancer arising from the bile ducts - intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma - accounts for virtually all of the increase. The research team analysed deaths coded by liver tumour between 1968 and 1998, using national statistics for... view more... (2001-05-16)
Do patients at risk for B-cell malignancy need antiviral treatment?
Some studies have shown that a relationship of hepatitis C (HCV) infection with type II mixed cryoglobulinemia exists. However the precise mechanism remains unclear. view more (2009-04-15)
High circulating D-dimers are associated with presence of ascites
The liver is the production site of most of the proteins which favour and inhibit the process of coagulation and fibrinolysis. view more (2008-04-30)
Feeling tired? You may be less likely to get hurt, MU researcher says
Sleepiness and sleep deprivation have long been associated with an increased risk of injury. However, the results of a recent study by a University of Missouri-Columbia researcher suggest that this commonly accepted theory might not be true. view more (2007-01-05)
The right kind of oil
Children who cannot eat on their own because of intestinal failure must rely on parenteral nutrition (PN), an intravenous method of feeding. view more (2006-07-05)
Study links obesity to liver failure
Researchers have found that obesity can put patients with acute liver failure at increased risk of mortality and other major complications. view more (2006-05-25)
Mechanical engineering helps research into the liver
Artificial glass livers being developed at the University of Leeds could help those suffering from liver failure, and improve understanding of how the organ works, researchers believe. Dr Peter Walker of mechanical engineering is leading Leeds' contribution to a three-year £320,000 project that aims to replicate the geometry of the liver,... view more... (2004-01-26)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
A new player in the battle against hepatitis prevents inflammation and the death of liver cells
Scientists from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) have again achieved a breakthrough in research on hepatitis. view more (2005-09-02)
New Research Reveals Head Injury in Children Has Lasting Impact
New research from the University of Warwick reveals that children with even mild head injury may be at risk of long-term complications, including personality changes, emotional, behavioural and learning problems. The study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry examined more than 500 children aged 5-15 years at head... view more... (2004-05-21)
Over-diagnosis Of Liver Failure After Paracetamol Poisoning?
Danish authors of a Research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that there is the potential for clinicians to mistakingly diagnose liver failure after moderate paracetamol poisoning by relying solely on the measurement of one diagnostic marker. The use of acetylcysteine after paracetamol poisoning is of known therapeutic benefit;... view more... (2002-10-09)
Antifibrotic effects of green tea
Several studies have shown that lipid peroxidation stimulates collagen production in fibroblasts and hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and plays an important role in the development of liver fibrosis. view more (2009-11-18)
Researchers uncover mechanisms leading to portal hypertension
A physician-scientist at UT Southwestern Medical Center and his research team have identified mechanisms causing a potentially deadly type of hypertension that results from liver damage-findings that could lead to its prevention. view more (2005-09-30)
Are you one of the few that respond to treatment for hepatitis C? - part 2
In patients being treated for hepatitis C the analysis of amino alanine transferase (ALT), a liver-produced enzyme, can help to predict if therapy will be successful, claims a team of researchers in the August issue of Hepatology2. The group of investigators propose that in some patients, it is possible, already in the first 48... view more... (2003-08-19)
