Effectiveness and Safety of Radiofrequency Ablation versus Liver Resection in the Treatment of Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: During the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatectomy demonstrates superior clinical efficacy compared to radiofrequency ablation, particularly in its ability to control tumor recurrence. However, radiofrequency ablation presents with fewer complications and a higher level of safety. These findings can serve as a valuable foundation for clinicians when selecting the most suitable treatment approaches for liver cancer.PMID:38684504 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3155 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Sex Differences in Outcomes of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery with Accelerated Rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: We identified sex differences in the clinical prognosis and performance of perioperative patients undergoing hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery with accelerated rehabilitation. The perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation risk of male patients was higher than that of female patients, and the time to first defecation was longer in male than in female patients. The incidence of nausea and vomiting in women was higher than in men.PMID:38684503 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3169 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Current status of liver transplantation for human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients in mainland China
This study provides an overview of the current landscape of HIV-positive patients receiving liver transplantation (LT) in mainland China. To date, our transplant center has conducted LT for eight end-stage liver disease patients co-infected with HIV, and all but one, who died two months postoperatively due to sepsis and progressive multi-organ failure, have survived. Comparative analysis with hepatitis B virus-infected patients during the same period revealed no statistically significant differences in acute rejection reactions, cytomegalovirus infection, bacteremia, pulmonary infections, acute kidney injury, new-onset can...

Helicobacter cholecystus bacteremia in an adult with acute cholecystitis
We report the isolation of Helicobacter cholecystus from a positive blood culture from a 58-year-old man in China who had bacteremia and acute cholecystitis. The patient's condition improved after symptomatic support treatment and subtotal cholecystectomy. This finding suggests that H. cholecystus should be considered as potential human pathogens.PMID:38684428 | DOI:10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.468 (Source: Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases)

Changes in liver and kidney function, red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels 1 day after ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for uterine fibroids
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for uterine fibroids can impose a higher detoxification load on the liver and cause thermal damage to and the destruction of RBCs within local circulation, potentially leading to AKI. Protein levels significantly decreased after UPMWA. Therefore, perioperative organ function protection measures and treatment should be actively integrated into clinical practice to improve prognosis and enhance recovery.PMID:38684224 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2024.2338542 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)
