Clinical Reasoning: A 61-year-old man with conjugate gaze deviation, hemiparesis, and asymmetric reflexes
A 61-year-old man with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis was transferred from an outside hospital for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, septic shock, and respiratory failure after intubation. The patient was initially on sedation; however, more than 48 hours after the sedative was discontinued, his mental status remained depressed and he also developed new onset of conjugate rightward gaze deviation.

A Point ‐based Prediction Model for Cardiovascular Risk in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: The CAR‐OLT Score
Conclusion: The point‐based CAR‐OLT risk score can identify patients at risk for CVD complications after OLT surgery (available at: www.carolt.us). This score may be useful for identification of candidates for further risk stratification or other management strategies to improve CVD outcomes after OLT. This article is protected by copyright.

Deep sea water improves hypercholesterolemia and hepatic lipid accumulation through the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolic gene expression.
Authors: Lee KS, Chun SY, Kwon YS, Kim S, Nam KS Abstract A high‑fat diet or high‑cholesterol diet (HCD) is a major cause of metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes; vascular diseases, including hypertension, stroke and arteriosclerosis; and liver diseases, including hepatic steatosis and cirrhosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of deep sea water (DSW) on rats fed a HCD. DSW decreased HCD‑induced increases in total cholesterol and low‑density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, and recovered high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, DSW decreased levels of liv...

Prognostic value of perioperative assessment of plasma cardiac troponin I in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
CONCLUSION: value of cTnI level assessed 24 hours post-surgery was a reliable predictor of death following LTx with optimal cut-off value of 0.215 ng/mL. The surgery time was the most important predictor of cTnI elevation. PMID: 28455997 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
