Liver transplantation (LT) can be the only option for patients with acute liver failure (ALF) where medical approaches are ineffective. Causes of ALF are multiple and commonly easily detectable, but uncertainty remained on the role of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) within the published ALF cohorts. Therefore, an analysis was undertaken to clarify which drugs may have caused the DILI and how the diagnosis of the liver injury was established. Using the PubMed database and Google Science, the search term of acute li [...]

This study investigates the influence of thermal environmental conditions during printing and their effects on the mechanical properties of material extrusion (MEX) 3D-printed 17-4 PH stainless steel. Various ambient temperatures and cooling behaviors were used during the printing process of the tensile specimens. Following DIN EN ISO 50125 and DIN EN ISO 6892, the study analyzes tensile strength, elongation and yield strength. The results demonstrate that the thermal environmental conditions affect both tensile an [...]

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is caused by mutations of hamartin (TSC1) or tuberin (TSC2) resulting in disinhibition of the mTOR pathway of cellular proliferation and differentiation and severe neurocognitive impairment, intractable epilepsy and tumors. Epilepsy develops in ~90% folllowed by drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Recently, prevention of DRE and developmental encephalopathy was shown to be possible in TSC using early administration of vigabatrin. For the first time, medical treatment successfully prevent [...]

Low phenotypic and genotypic variability for yield-attributing traits and susceptibility to salinity stress are constraints of mungbean productivity. The objectives of the study are to phenotype a set of exotic mungbean genotypes for yield-attributing traits and salinity tolerance, as well as to conduct genetic analysis of these traits for efficient selection. Three consecutive experiments were conducted to fulfill these objectives. In the first experiment, 26 mungbean genotypes were evaluated for yield traits unde [...]

The experience of painting during the COVID-19 period initiated this art-based autoethnographic account. The pandemic affected various fields of life; the discussion is thus pursued from a few interrelated points of view: of an individual coping with the COVID-19 crisis on a personal level, of a painter, of an art therapist, of an art therapy lecturer and supervisor, and an artist involved in community interventions. Artmaking and viewing artworks can enhance communication with the beholder and encourage others to [...]

Background & Aims. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of liver surgery and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of AKI following hepatic surgery can be as high as 94%, with highest rates seen following orthotopic liver transplantation, particularly when extended criteria grafts are used. Strategies to identify patients at risk of AKI may enable early interventions to prevent or minimise AKI. Methods. A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and [...]

Kabuki Syndrome (KS) is a rare, multisystem congenital disorder with five foremost clinical manifestations encompassing dysmorphic facial characteristics, postnatal growth constraint, craniofacial/skeletal anomalies, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and dermatoglyphic abnormalities. We analyzed two unrelated Iranian patients suspected of having KS using whole-exome sequencing. An in silico analysis was performed to evaluate the potential effects of the discovered variants on the structure and function of t [...]
