    Abstract Introduction: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) is a specific type of kidney injury seen in patients with cirrhosis and ascites and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. It is characterized by rapid deterioration of renal function due to reduced renal blood flow secondary to portal hypertensive splanchnic and systemic vasodilation. Early diagnosis and treatment of HRS-AKI are associated with greater likelihood of improvement in renal function, lower need for dialysis, and better post-transplant outcomes.
    Areas covered: This review discusses the diagnostic criteria for HRS-AKI, which has undergone several key changes over the last decade, with an aim to secure an early diagnosis and aid swift treatment initiation. Additionally, this review outlines the current treatment paradigms for HRS-AKI.
    Expert opinion: In the last 20 years, there have been several advances in understanding the pathophysiology and natural course of HRS-AKI. These have led to critical changes in its definition and diagnostic algorithm. However, prognosis of HRS-AKI remains dismal with no significant improvement in HRS-AKI reversal or HRS-related mortality over this time. We discuss several gaps in the current understanding and management of HRS-AKI that will benefit from further research.

    Abstract Biliary tract complications are an important cause of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT) occurring in 5% to 25% of patients. The most common biliary complication in LT recipients are strictures representing approximately half of these biliary adverse events. Bile duct strictures can be divided into anastomotic biliary strictures (ABS) and non-anastomotic biliary strictures (NABS) depending on their location in the biliary tree, being ABS the most encountered type. Several risk factors identified in previous studies can predispose to the development of ABS and NABS, especially those related to surgical techniques and donor characteristics. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is the recommended noninvasive imaging test for detecting post-LT biliary strictures, given its high sensitivity and specificity. Once the diagnosis of a biliary stricture after LT has been made, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the preferred initial therapy with good short and long-term results. Biliary sphincterotomy plus balloon dilation (BD) with placement of multiple plastic stents (MPS) has been the classic endoscopic approach for treating ABS, although fully-covered metallic stents (FCSEMS) have emerged as an alternative thanks to shorter total duration of stenting and fewer endoscopic procedures compared to MPS. In this review, we provide a practical update on the management of biliary strictures after LT, focusing our attention on the available evidence in the endoscopic therapy.

    Abstract Petroleum-based plastics are materials which have provided important industrial benefits from being lightweight and having low production costs. However, plastic pollution is pervasive and ubiquitous on all environments. This has led some industries to rapidly introduce the so called 'bioplastics' into the market by switching the conventional ones for new plant-based alternatives with similar properties. However, little is known about the fate of such alternatives especially in the open environment. In this novel study, the degradation of teabags from eight different brands was investigated, five petroleum based (cellulose-PP blend) and three plant-based (cellulose, cellulose-PLA blend and PLA). The degradation was tested under real-environmental soil conditions over a 12-month period. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques were used to examine the change in polymer makeup and surface degradation of teabags at 3 weeks, 3.5, 6 and 12 months. Teabag dry weight and any retrieved fragments were measured over time. Teabags that contained a plastic blended to cellulose were brittle or degraded into smaller fragments after 3 weeks in soil. Parallel to this, the cellulose layer also degraded in this short timeline. Petroleum-based teabags produced the highest numbers of PP fragments overtime and fragmented teabags were still found after 12 months. Plant-based teabags made of cellulose only or a blend of cellulose-PLA were absent from soil samples after 3.5 months, including no fragments. Contrary to this, teabags made of PLA which were marketed as completely biodegradable, persisted completely intact in soil throughout all time points. The novel results from this study provide a perspective on plastic degradation in terrestrial sources. Based on these findings, it can be recommended that teabags mostly made of cellulose or cellulose blended with a bioplastic present in a smaller ratio, are a better alternative to petroleum-based or pure PLA plastics, in terms of rapid environmental degradation. Further studies should focus on their ecotoxicity, additive presence, microbial degradation and life cycle in order to draw a full environmental assessment.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that involves functional and structural defects in selective central nervous system (CNS) regions, harming the individual capability to process and respond to external stimuli, including impaired verbal and non-verbal communications. Etiological causes of ASD have not been fully clarified; however, prenatal activation of the innate immune system by external stimuli might infiltrate peripheral immune cells into the fetal CNS and activate cytokine secretion by microglia and astrocytes. For instance, genomic and postmortem histological analysis has identified proinflammatory gene signatures, microglia-related expressed genes, and neuroinflammatory markers in the brain during ASD diagnosis. Active neuroinflammation might also occur during the developmental stage, promoting the establishment of a defective brain connectome and increasing susceptibility to ASD after birth. While still under investigation, we tested the hypothesis whether the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) signaling is prenatally programmed to favor peripheral immune cell infiltration and activate microglia into the fetal CNS, setting susceptibility to autism-like behavior. In this review, we will comprehensively provide the current understanding of the prenatal activation of MCP-1 signaling by external stimuli during the developmental stage as a new selective node to promote neuroinflammation, brain structural alterations, and behavioral defects associated to ASD diagnosis.

    Title translation Autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: challenge in diagnosis and treatment.
    Abstract The coexistence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) definitely poses new challenges, such as making an early diagnosis, considering that the former is usually diagnosed 2 years later in children with ADHD comorbid with autism compared to those with ASD alone; this is a problem at a personal, family and social level, since they must receive timely intervention. This coexistence raises questions about the efficacy of treatment in ADHD in people with autism, genetic, anatomical and functional concordances, among others; these are the challenges that are currently posed. In this review, we present some responses to the challenges posed by such coexistence, and we highlight some pending issues to be solved, being these of great importance for their better understanding and management. In all patients with ADHD or ASD, a coexistence between them should be sought. There are shared functional brain alterations in both disorders identified by functional brain magnetic resonance imaging; the treatment established for ADHD is also effective in this comorbidity.
