Recurrent nonhepatic and de novo malignancies after liver transplantation.

13 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: After Liver transplantation (LTx), recurrence of hepatic cancer, de novo cancers, and donor-transmitted cancers have been described. However, the data for patients with a prior history of nonhepatic malignancy and its recurrence ... Read more...

Prevalence and predictors of hepatic steatosis in adults with newly diagnosed chronic liver disease due to hepatitis C.

30 Aug 2009 Obesity appears to be a risk factor for hepatic steatosis, which has been implicated in the development of hepatic fibrosis in patients with hepatitis C virus infection. We conducted the current study to examine whether obesity is associated with ... Read more...

Massive bilateral chylothoraces complicating mediastinal granulomatous disease.

30 Aug 2009 Mediastinal granulomatous disease with resulting fibrosis is known to cause several serious complications, including pulmonary artery occlusion, bronchial stenosis, superior vena cava syndrome, and constrictive pericarditis. This process is ... Read more...
