    Abstract Purpose of review: The number of patients on the liver transplant waitlist continues to grow and far exceeds the number of livers available for transplantation. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) allows for ex-vivo perfusion under physiologic conditions with the potential to significantly increase organ yield and expand the donor pool.
    Recent findings: Several studies have found increased utilization of donation after cardiac death and extended criteria brain-dead donor livers with implementation of NMP, largely due to the ability to perform viability testing during machine perfusion. Recently, proposed viability criteria include lactate clearance, maintenance of perfusate pH more than 7.2, ALT less than 6000 u/l, evidence of glucose metabolism and bile production. Optimization of liver grafts during NMP is an active area of research and includes interventions for defatting steatotic livers, preventing ischemic cholangiopathy and rejection, and minimizing ischemia reperfusion injury.
    Summary: NMP has resulted in increased organ utilization from marginal donors with acceptable outcomes. The added flexibility of prolonged organ storage times has the potential to improve time constraints and transplant logistics. Further research to determine ideal viability criteria and investigate ways to optimize marginal and otherwise nontransplantable liver grafts during NMP is warranted.

    Abstract It has been established that more than mild large-droplet macrovesicular steatosis (LD-MAS) is associated with increased risk of graft non-function. In contrast, even severe small-droplet macrovesicular steatosis (SD-MAS) has been found to be less prognostically significant. It remains unclear if a donor liver with diffuse microvesicular steatosis is associated with an increased risk of graft dysfunction. A 56-year-old male with alcoholic cirrhosis was transplanted with a liver from a 42-year-old overweight male donor after brain death. The frozen section of the donor liver biopsy taken at harvest showed diffusely enlarged clear/foamy hepatocytes and mild LD-MAS (about 5-10% of total tissue). The reperfusion liver biopsy taken at time 0 of transplantation showed hemorrhage, pale and enlarged hepatocytes, and mild LD-MAS (about 10% of total tissue) with lipopeliosis. The graft became non-functional, and the patient was re-transplanted 24 h after the initial transplantation. Histologic examination of the failed liver allograft showed extensive hemorrhagic necrosis, neutrophilic inflammation, diffuse microvesicular steatosis, and large extracellular fat droplets (about 20% of total tissue). This case demonstrates that precautions are needed to avoid using livers with diffuse and severe microvesicular steatosis.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. With advances in locoregional therapy for unresectable HCC during the last 2 decades and the recent expansion of transplant criteria for HCC, as well as ongoing organ shortages, patients are spending more time on the waitlist, which has resulted in an increased usage of locoregional therapies. The plethora of molecularly targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors under investigation represent the new horizon of treatment of HCC not only in advanced stages but also potentially at every stage of diagnosis and management.

    Abstract For autistic students receiving special education services, little is known about their relative strengths, weaknesses, and enjoyment across different math content areas; their overall math interest and persistence are also not well-studied. Using the 2017 eighth-grade National Assessment of Education Progress data, this study finds, relative to general education peers with the same math proficiency level, autistic students scored higher and exhibited faster speed in solving visuospatial problems (e.g. identifying figures), but scored lower on math word problems with complex language or social context. Autistic students reported a higher level of enjoyment in solving math problems related to finding areas of shapes or figures but a lower level of persistence than their non-autistic, general education peers. Our work points out the need to help autistic students overcome their weaknesses in word problems and develop their mathematical persistence.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the time from triage to ECG sign-off in patients with acute coronary syndrome, before and after the introduction of an electronic medical record-integrated ECG workflow system (Epiphany). Additionally, to assess for any correlation between patient characteristics and ECG sign-off times.
    Methods: A retrospective, single-centre cohort study was performed at Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney. Patients were included if they were over 18 years, presented to Prince of Wales Hospital ED during 2021, had an ED diagnosis code of 'ACS', 'UA', 'NSTEMI' or 'STEMI' and were subsequently admitted under the cardiology team. ECG sign-off times and demographic data were compared between patients presenting prior to 29 June (pre-Epiphany group) and those presenting after (post-Epiphany group). Those without ECGs signed-off were excluded.
    Results: There were 200 patients (100 each group) included in the statistical analysis. There was a significant decrease in the median triage to ECG sign-off time, from 35 min (IQR 18-69) pre-Epiphany, to 21 min (IQR 13-37) post-Epiphany. There were only 10 (5%) patients in the pre-Epiphany group and 16 (8%) in the post-Epiphany group, who had ECG sign-off times less than the 10-min. There was no correlation between gender, triage category, age or time of shift with triage to ECG sign-off time.
    Conclusions: The introduction of the Epiphany system has significantly reduced the triage to ECG sign-off time in the ED. Despite this, there remains a large proportion of patients with acute coronary syndrome who do not have an ECG signed-off within the guideline-recommended 10 min.
