Technical validation and feasibility of video particle tracking for low-volume measurement of biliary micro-viscosity after liver transplantation

Abstract Reliable quantification of the biophysical properties of human bile requires analytically validated methods and standardized pre-analytical conditions. We hypothesized that biliary micro-viscosity can be quantified in human bile after liver transplantation (LTx) with pre...

Early prediction of severe morbidity after liver resection using serum albumin and ALBI-score in a mixed patient cohort

Abstract Background Early identification of patients at risk for severe morbidity after liver resection (LR) remains challenging. Serum albumin and albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score reflect liver function, but their prognostic value in the immediate postoperative period is not well...

CT-derived adrenal-to-spleen ratio as a predictor of massive transfusion and mortality in emergency transcatheter arterial embolization of active bleeding

PURPOSE: In cases of severe shock, the adrenal gland undergoes hyperperfusion to ensure adequate circulation of stress hormones. Concurrently, the spleen experiences hypoperfusion in order to maintain optimal central blood pressure. The objective of this study was to identify the...
