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...

A novel treatment for postoperative mondor's disease: manual axial distraction.

29 Jun 2009 Mondor's disease is an uncommon complication of breast and axillary surgery. Although self-limiting, the subcutaneous cords may be both painful and functionally limiting for the patient. Numerous pharmacologic approaches have been tried, but without ... Read more...

Worse recent efficacy of antiviral therapy in liver transplant recipients with recurrent hepatitis C: impact of donor age and baseline cirrhosis.

29 Jun 2009 We hypothesized that antiviral efficacy [sustained virologic response (SVR)] has improved in recent years in the transplant setting. Our aim was to assess whether the efficacy of pegylated interferon (PegIFN)-ribavirin (Rbv) has improved over time. ... Read more...
