Paula C. Zimbrean, Geliang Gan, Yanhong Deng, Sukru Emre – 11 February 2019 – Body image (BI) concerns have been reported to play a significant role in the psychological adaptation after organ transplantation. There is a paucity of data about BI beliefs in liver transplant recipients. We report the results of a cross‐sectional study of 177 liver transplant recipients for whom we assessed BI, anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QOL) using validated instruments. Our results indicate that higher BI concerns correlated with higher levels of anxiety and depression.

Ana I. Álvarez‐Mercado, José Gulfo, Manuel Romero Gómez, Mónica B. Jiménez‐Castro, Jordi Gracia‐Sancho, Carmen Peralta – 10 February 2019 – In the field of liver transplantation, the demand for adequate allografts greatly exceeds the supply. Therefore, expanding the donor pool to match the growing demand is mandatory. The present review summarizes current knowledge of the pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury in steatotic grafts, together with recent pharmacological approaches aimed at maximizing the utilization of these livers for transplantation.
