BACKGROUND: Benign biliary strictures (BBS) have been endoscopically managed with
placement of multiple plastic stents. Uncovered metal stents have been associated with …

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the most prevalent cause of drug-induced liver injury in
western countries. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanisms …

Accumulation of bile acids is a major mediator of cholestatic liver injury. Recent studies
indicate bile acid composition between humans and rodents is dramatically different, as …

We hypothesized that diversion of the first milliliter of venipuncture blood—the initial
specimen diversion technique (ISDT)—would eliminate incompletely sterilized fragments of …

Organ donors are screened for the hepatitis C antibody (anti‐HCV) and those with positive
tests can be used under extended criteria donation. However, there is still a question of long …

Abstract The Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease system has given priority on the liver
transplant waiting list to candidates with renal failure. This study determined the predictors of …

Chronic alcohol exposure increased hepatic receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP) 3
expression and necroptosis in the liver but its mechanisms are unclear. In the present study …

Hydroxyacetanilide or N-acetyl-meta-aminophenol (AMAP) is generally regarded as a non-
hepatotoxic analog of acetaminophen (APAP). Previous studies demonstrated the absence …

Code Reuse Attacks (CRAs) recently emerged as a new class of security exploits. CRAs
construct malicious programs out of small fragments (gadgets) of existing code, thus …

Impaired macroautophagy/autophagy has been implicated in experimental and human
pancreatitis. However, the transcriptional control governing the autophagy-lysosomal …
