TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The expected remnant liver volume appears to be a good predictor for liver failure in patients who undergo a right lobectomy of the liver, and in patients with diabetes mellitus and an expected remnant Liver Volume less than 250 mL/m2, a major hepatectomy should be avoided.

TL;DR: This study investigated the effect of sarcopenia on short‐ and long‐term outcomes following partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and aimed to identify prognostic factors.

TL;DR: Combined with the Milan criteria, NLR predicts outcomes after LDLT for HCC via the inflammatory tumor microenvironment and may be a new criterion for LDLT candidates with HCC.

TL;DR: Patients with bile leakage from the hepatic hilum and postoperative uncontrollable ascites tend to have a poor prognosis, especially when a high-risk surgical procedure is performed in patients with liver cirrhosis, and more careful surgical procedures and use of an intraoperative biles leakage test are recommended.
