As observed by Jeon and Ranjan, 1 suboptimal donor livers are an essential resource for liver transplantation (LT) candidates. In our prospective randomized study, 2 the harvesting technique showed a relevant prognostic impact on post-LT outcome when suboptimal livers were used. Observations from Je

## Background: Chronic rejection (cr) in liver allografts show a rapid onset and progressive course, leading to graft failure within the first year after transplantation. most cases are preceded by episodes of acute cellular rejection (ar), but histological features predictive for the transition to
Hospitalists care for elderly patients daily, but few have specialized training in geriatric medicine. Elderly patients, and in particular the very old and the frail elderly, are at high risk of functional decline and iatrogenic complications during hospitalization. Other challenges in caring for th
Livers exposed to warm ischemia (WI) before transplantation are at risk for primary nonfunction (PNF), graft dysfunction, and ischemic biliary strictures, all associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Our multifactorial approach, Leuven drug protocol (LDP), has been shown to reduce these ef
During continuous lipase-catalyzed oleic acid esterification by ethanol in n-hexane, the oleic acid conversion, initially at 95%, decreases to 20% after 2 h. This decrease is caused by the accumulation of the water produced in the course of the reaction in the packed-bed reactor (PBR). In order to i
