Harrys A. Torres, Jeff Hosry, Parag Mahale, Minas P. Economides, Ying Jiang, Anna S. Lok – 27 June 2017 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) reactivation in patients receiving cancer treatment has been reported in retrospective studies. We sought to determine prospectively the incidence, predictors, and clinical significance of HCV reactivation during cancer treatment. HCV‐infected patients receiving cancer treatment at our institution between November 2012 and July 2016 were studied.

Jonas F. Ludvigsson, Hanns‐Ulrich Marschall, Hannes Hagström, Jonas Höijer, Olof Stephansson – 27 June 2017 – Liver biopsy is an important procedure in the investigation of liver disease. We examined pregnancy outcomes in women who underwent liver biopsy during pregnancy. In a nationwide population‐based cohort study we linked data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (for births between 1992 and 2011) with those from the Swedish Patient Registry. We identified 23 pregnancies exposed to liver biopsy.

Wang, Chuanjiang Li, Xiajun Li, Fang Yan, Yunfang Wang, Changzhen Shang, Xin Wang, Tao Chen, Pengyu Huang – 27 June 2017 – Liver regeneration (LR) happens after various types of injuries. Unlike the well‐studied LR caused by partial hepatectomy (PHx), there is accumulating evidence suggesting that LR during other injuries may result from unknown mechanisms.

Perfluorocarbon (PFC) is a novel compound with high oxygen carrying capacity.

Mohammed Al Sebayel, Faisal Abaalkhail, Saleh Al Abbad, Hamad AlBahili, Hussien Elsiesy, Maha Aleid, Waleed Al‐Hamoudi – 26 June 2017 – The first liver transplantation (LT) in Saudi Arabia was performed in 1991; however, it was not until 1994 that the first structured LT program was launched. Until 1997, all LTs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) were deceased donor liver transplantations.

Ka Wing Ma, Kenneth S. H. Chok, Albert C. Y. Chan, Henry S. C. Tam, Wing Chiu Dai, Tan To Cheung, James Y. Y. Fung, Chung Mau Lo – 26 June 2017 – The objective of this article is to derive a more accurate and easy‐to‐use formula for finding estimated standard liver volume (ESLV) using novel computed tomography (CT) measurement parameters. New formulas for ESLV have been emerging that aim to improve the accuracy of estimation. However, many of these formulas contain body surface area measurements and logarithms in the equations that lead to a more complicated calculation.
