BACKGROUND It has been observed that patients with liver dysfunction need lower dose anesthetic compared patients with normal liver function. The minimum amount of volatile anesthetic to achieve an optimal depth of anesthesia for these patients is still unclear. In this study, Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of the sevoflurane was determined using an electric stimulation and the effect of ...

BACKGROUND The Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident caused residents to switch from their normal lives to lives focused on evacuation. We evaluated liver function before and after this disaster to elucidate the effects of evacuation on liver function. METHODS This study was a longitudinal survey of 26,006 Japanese men and women living near ...

results abnormal liver function test was detected in cf patients. as well, liver sonogram was abnormal in approximately one-third of the patients. this study showed a higher prevalence of biochemical abnormality in patients with abnormal livers ultrasonography. conclusions noninvasive paraclinical evaluation methods could be recommended in the patients with cf for early detection of silent live...

background: liver dysfunction during on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg) is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. the ability to identify high-risk patients may be helpful in planning appropriate management strategies. we aimed to evaluate the factors influencing liver function tests during on-pump cabg. methods: in 146 patients schedule...

The COVID-19 outbreak is a ‎substantial public health concern around the world. most common ‎complication of infection ‎is lung damage. However, damage can occur in other organs, including ‎ liver, cardiac dysfunction, kidney ‎dysfunction, and intestine disorder.‎ This research aims to evaluate function two main organs ‎in human body, ‎liver, ‎kidney, assess organ's by measuring clinical featur...

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been rapidly increasing worldwide. A choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet (CDAHFD) used to create a mouse model steatohepatitis (NASH). There are some reports on the effects mice being fed CDAHFD for long periods 1 3 months. However, effect this over short period is unknown. Therefore, we examined 1-week feeding li...

We studied the relations of age, sex, hypertension, alcohol consumption, liver dysfunction, and thrombocyte count to the volume of the hematoma in 141 patients with spontaneous putaminal hemorrhage. Hematomas were significantly larger in men, regular alcohol consumers, those with liver dysfunction, and those with low platelet counts. Our findings reflect the fact that almost all of the alcohol ...

AIM To investigate the role of biomarkers in predicting postoperative liver dysfunction in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS A total of 200 patients operated from July 2009 to June 2010 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University for pathologically confirmed HCC were retrospectively analyzed for clinical data, HBD DNA level and serum biochemical markers for liver fibrosis. The...

BACKGROUND Liver graft dysfunction can deteriorate to complete organ failure and increases perioperative morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation. Therapeutic strategies reducing the rate of graft dysfunction are of current clinical relevance. One approach is the systemic application of prostaglandins, which were demonstrated to be beneficial in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury. ...

The liver is accountable for many critical functions within the body and loss of those functions can cause signifi cant damage to the body. Liver disease is a extensive term that covers all aspects that cause the liver to fail to perform its proper functions. Acute liver failure indicates the development of severe acute liver injury with impaired synthetic function without preexisting of clinic...
