Steatotic livers. Can we use them in OLTX? Outcome data from a prospective baseline liver biopsy study.
INTRODUCTION Steatotic livers have been associated with greater risk of allograft dysfunction in liver transplantation. Our aim was to determinate the prevalence of steatosis in grafts from deceased donors in Chile and to assess the utility of a protocol-bench biopsy as an outcome predictor of steatotic grafts in our transplant program. MATERIAL AND METHODS We prospectively performed protocol...

متن کاملBubbles , Can We Spot Them ? Crashes , Can We Predict Them ?
Johansen and Sornette proposes that the crash has fundamentally an endogenous origin and exogenous shocks only serve as triggering factors. This endogenous force is shown in price as power law log-periodicity (PLLP) signature prior to a crash. We estimate the highly nonlinear model developed by them using a hybrid approach which combines scatter search, genetic adaptor and tabu search. The mode...
متن کاملMaps in the brain: what can we learn from them?
In mammalian visual cortex, neurons are organized according to their functional properties into multiple maps such as retinotopic, ocular dominance, orientation preference, direction of motion, and others. What determines the organization of cortical maps? We argue that cortical maps reflect neuronal connectivity in intracortical circuits. Because connecting distant neurons requires costly wiri...
متن کاملE-study resources: How we can design them for re-use in many situations?
Creation of interactive multimedia study recourses used in e-learning courses is a demanding and time-consuming activity. However, so far there is no manual for the creators of these resources that would enable them to do it in the proper way. The teachers, who are usually the only creators of the materials, are forced to improvise. This contribution presents two approaches for study recourses ...
