TL;DR: In this cohort, BCLC had the best independent predictive power for survival when compared with the Okuda, CLIP, UNOS-T NM, and JIS prognostic systems and showed a better prognostic ability than the AJCC-TNM 2002 system in surgical patients.

TL;DR: The results show that hepatocyte transplantation might be an alternative to liver transplantation in glycogen storage disease type 1a and severe fasting hypoglycaemia.

TL;DR: MP at 20°C improves cell survival and leads to a marked improvement in hepatic preservation of steatotic livers as compared with cold storage, substantiated by better morphology, higher glycogen content, and lower reactive oxygen species production by sinusoidal cells in Steatotic liver submitted to MP at20°C versus cold storage.

TL;DR: Slow tapering of steroids reduced the progression of recurrent hepatitis C after LT, and the effect of long-term maintenance of steroids on HCV recurrence after liver transplantation was controversial.

TL;DR: Propranolol and banding are similarly effective in reducing the incidence of variceal bleeding in candidates for liver transplantation, but ligation can be complicated by fatal bleeding and is more expensive.
