Abstract Introduction There are limited real-world data on outcomes in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE). This study assessed clinical characteristics and survival in patients with NCFBE by baseline exacerbation rate. Methods Patients with bronchiectasis (≥ 1 inpatient or ≥ 2 outpatient claims with a bronchiectasis diagnosis code, or one outpatient claim with bronchiectasis code and a chest computed tomography scan) were from the 100% Medicare Fee-for-Service database (Jan 2014–Dec 2020). Patients had continuous enrollment ≥ 12 months pre-index (baseline) and post-index (follow-up), with index a random bronchiectasis claim preceded by ≥ 12 months bronchiectasis history. Patients with cystic fibrosis were excluded. Patients were stratified by exacerbations during baseline (0, 1, or ≥ 2). Follow-up exacerbation rate and all-cause mortality were assessed. Controls were identified using a multistep direct matching approach. Time to death from index was estimated by Kaplan–Meier analyses. Results Exacerbation analysis included 92,529 patients with NCFBE and 92,529 matched controls. Exacerbations were common (43% had ≥ 1 exacerbation), with patients with more baseline exacerbations more likely to have ≥ 2 exacerbations during follow-up (11.4%, 24.2%, and 46.8% of patients with 0, 1, and ≥ 2 baseline exacerbations, respectively). Survival analysis included 110,298 patients with NCFBE and 110,298 controls. Time to death was shorter in patients with more baseline exacerbations (P

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a severe clinical condition for which liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative option. Due to the recipients' generally poor pre-operative clinical conditions and extensive surgery, post-LT respiratory disorders are very common and significantly contribute to related morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 49-year-old patient with ACLF grade 3 who has been taken care of by the Respiratory Physiotherapy Team since hospital admission. After the extubation, the patient was supported with non-invasive ventilation and mechanical in-exsufflation; meanwhile, early resistance and functional training were started. No adverse events occurred during physiotherapy sessions, and the patient returned home without respiratory support. Respiratory and physical therapy in the intensive care unit after LT were safe and feasible interventions for this patient. Given the high incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and the high rehabilitation needs, we suggest that physiotherapy should be provided for ACLF recipients.

The progressive increase in antibiotic resistance in recent decades calls for urgent development of new antibiotics and antibiotic stewardship programs to help select appropriate treatments with the goal of minimising further emergence of resistance and to optimise clinical outcomes. Three new tetracycline-class antibiotics, eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline, have been approved within the past 15 years, and represent a new era in the use of tetracyclines. These drugs overcome the two main mechanisms of acquired tetracycline-class resistance and exhibit a broad spectrum of in vitro activity against gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobic, and atypical pathogens, including many drug-resistant strains. We provide an overview of the three generations of tetracycline-class drugs, focussing on the efficacy, safety, and clinical utility of these three new third-generation tetracycline-class drugs. We also consider various scenarios of unmet clinical needs where patients might benefit from re-engagement with tetracycline-class antibiotics including outpatient treatment options, patients with known β-lactam antibiotic allergy, reducing the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection, and their potential as monotherapy in polymicrobial infections while minimising the risk of any potential drug-drug interaction. KEY MESSAGESThe long-standing safety profile and broad spectrum of activity of tetracycline-class antibiotics made them a popular choice for treatment of various bacterial infections; unfortunately, antimicrobial resistance has limited the utility of the early-generation tetracycline agents.The latest generation of tetracycline-class antibiotics, including eravacycline, tigecycline, and omadacycline, overcomes the most common acquired tetracycline resistance mechanisms.Based on in vitro characteristics and clinical data, these newer tetracycline agents provide an effective antibiotic option in the treatment of approved indications in patients with unmet clinical needs – including patients with severe penicillin allergy, with renal or hepatic insufficiency, recent Clostridioides difficile infection, or polymicrobial infections, and those at risk of drug–drug interactions.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Besides the increased risk of perioperative morbidity, graft failure, and mortality, the majority of PVT are diagnosed at liver transplantation (LT). Improving preoperative management and patient selection may lead to better short-term and long-term outcomes and reduce the risk of a futile LT. The authors aimed to identify predictors of adverse outcomes after LT in patients with nonmalignant portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and improve donor to recipient matching by analyzing the results of the Italian cohort of LT recipients. METHODS: Adult patients who underwent LT in Italy between January 2000 and February 2020 diagnosed with PVT pre-LT or at time of LT were considered eligible for inclusion. Based on a survey encompassing all 26 surgeons participating in the study, a binary composite outcome was defined. Patients were classified as having the composite event if at least one of these conditions occurred: operative time more than 600 min, estimated blood loss greater than 5000 ml, more than 20 ICU days, 90 days mortality, 90 days retransplant. RESULTS: Seven hundred fourteen patients were screened and 698 met the inclusion criteria. The analysis reports the results of 568 patients that fulfilled the criteria to enter the composite outcome analysis.Overall, 156 patients (27.5%) developed the composite outcome. PVT stage 3/4 at transplant and need for any surgical correction of PVT are independent predictors of the composite outcome occurrence. When stratified by PVT grade, overall survival at 1-year ranges from 89.0% with PVT grade 0/1 to 67.4% in patients with PVT grade 3/4 at LT ( P <0.001). Nevertheless, patients with severe PVT can improve their survival when identified risk factors are not present. CONCLUSIONS: Potential LT candidates affected by PVT have a benefit from LT that should be adequately balanced on liver function and type of inflow reconstruction needed to mitigate the incidence of adverse events. Nonetheless, the absence of spe

Nonlinear optical loop mirrors (NOLMs) are used in modern fiber optic devices and optical communications. In this study, we present numerical analyses of the multiple variables involved in the operation of an NOLM in low- and high-power transmissions. The Jones matrix formalism was used to model linear and circular polarization inputs. We used three-dimensional (3D) plots to identify the characteristics required in the experimental operation of the NOLM. These characteristics, including the critical power, low- and high-power transmission, and dynamic range, depend on parameters such as the fiber loop length, input power, angle of retarder plate, and input polarization. A standard single-mode fiber (SMF-28) with high twist loop lengths of 100, 300, and 500 m and input powers of 0–100 W was simulated. Three-dimensional surface graphics provided a comprehensive view of the NOLM transmission and considerably enhanced the optimal transmission by manipulating adjustable device components including the power and polarization control plates. Optimal transmission facilitates its use in integrating ultrafast pulse generation, optical signal processing, optical communication systems, and photonic integrated circuit applications.

Introduction: T-tube placement during liver transplantation (LT) is still debated. We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the usefulness of T-tube after LT in two cohorts differing in post-transplant risk. Methods: A total of 327 LTs performed between 2015 and 2018 were included in the analysis. LTs from donation after circulatory death and living donation, split-liver transplants, and LTs with hepaticojejunostomy were excluded. T-tube was reserved for marginal grafts, high-risk recipients, and bile duct size discrepancy. A balance of risk (BAR) score of ≤9 defined the low-risk cohort (232 patients, 68 with and 164 without T-tube), while a BAR score of >9 defined the high-risk cohort (95 patients, 43 with and 52 without T-tube). Postoperative complications were estimated with the comprehensive complication index (CCI). Postoperative biliary complications were classified in anastomotic stricture (AS), non-anastomotic stricture (NAS), and biliary leakage (BL). Results: In the low-risk cohort, LTs with and without T-tube had similar rates of NAS (0 vs. 2.9%, p = 0.36), AS (2.9 vs. 2.4%, p = 0.83), and BL (1.4 vs. 2.4%, p = 0.64). Analogous outcomes were found in the high-risk cohort: NAS (0 vs. 0), AS (0 vs. 5.7%, p = 0.11), and BL (0 vs. 1.3%, p = 0.27). There were more postoperative complications among patients with T-tube, in both the low-risk (CCI 29 vs. 21, p < 0.001) and high-risk (CCI 51 vs. 29, p < 0.001) cohort. No differences in primary non-function, hepatic artery thrombosis, and mortality were observed. Conclusions: T-tube placement did not influence postoperative biliary complications. Although the two cohorts were normalized for post-transplant risk, LT recipients with T-tube had a more complicated course.

Transplantation ,liver transpant, spontaneous portosystemic shunts - Abstract
Background. The impact of spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSSs) on natural history of cirrhotic patients was recently evaluated through the measurement of total shunt area (TSA), a novel tool that allows a comprehensive assessment of SPSSs extension, identifying a direct correlation of higher TSA with lower patient survival. The role of SPSSs in liver transplant (LT) is still debated: we sought to investigate the clinical impact of TSA on the development of early allograft dysfunction (EAD), acute kidney injury (AKI), postoperative complications, and graft and patient survival following LT. Methods. Preoperative imaging of 346 cirrhotic patients undergoing primary LT between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively revised, recording the size and anatomy of each SPSS to calculate TSA. The impact of TSA and selected patient and donor characteristics on the development of EAD, AKI, and clinically relevant complications was evaluated through univariate and multivariate logistic regression, whereas their effect on graft and patient survival was investigated through Cox regression analysis. Results. A TSA exceeding 78.54 mm2resulted as an independent risk factor for the development of EAD (odds ratio [OR]: 2.327; P = 0.003), grade 3 AKI (OR: 2.093; P = 0.041), and clinically relevant complications (OR: 1.962; P = 0.015). Moreover, higher TSA was significantly related to early graft and patient survivals, emerging as an independent risk factor for 12-mo graft loss (hazard ratio: 3.877; P = 0.007) and patient death (hazard ratio: 2.682; P = 0.018). Conclusions. Higher TSA emerged as a significant risk factor for worse postoperative outcomes following LT, supporting the need for careful hemodynamic assessment and management of patients presenting multiple/larger shunts.

- Abstract
COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in surgical activity and potential benefit from COVID-19 measures in perspective of Italian surgeons on behalf of SPIGC. A nationwide online survey on surgical practice before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic was conducted in March–April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects of COVID-19 hospital-related measures on surgical patients’ management and personal professional development across surgical specialties were explored. Data on demographics, pre-operative/peri-operative/post-operative management, and professional development were collected. Outcomes were matched with the corresponding volume. Four hundred and seventy-three respondents were included in final analysis across 14 surgical specialties. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, application of telematic consultations (4.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.0001) and diagnostic evaluations (16.4% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001) increased. Elective surgical activities significantly reduced and surgeons opted more frequently for conservative management with a possible indication for elective (26.3% vs. 35.7%; p < 0.0001) or urgent (20.4% vs. 38.5%; p < 0.0001) surgery. All new COVID-related measures are perceived to be maintained in the future. Surgeons’ personal education online increased from 12.6% (pre-COVID) to 86.6% (post-COVID; p < 0.0001). Online educational activities are considered a beneficial effect from COVID pandemic (56.4%). COVID-19 had a great impact on surgical specialties, with significant reduction of operation volume. However, some forced changes turned out to be benefits. Isolation measures pushed the use of telemedicine and telemetric devices for outpatient practice and favored communication for educational purposes and surgeon–patient/family communication. From the Italian surgeons’ perspective, COVID-related measures will continue to influence

- Abstract
Background: Despite second-line transplant(SLT) for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma(rHCC) leads to the longest survival after recurrence(SAR), its real applicability has never been reported. The aim was to compare the SAR of SLT versus repeated hepatectomy and thermoablation(CUR group). Methods: Patients were enrolled from the Italian register HE.RC.O.LE.S. between 2008 and 2021. Two groups were created: CUR versus SLT. A propensity score matching (PSM) was run to balance the groups. Results: 743 patients were enrolled, CUR = 611 and SLT = 132. Median age at recurrence was 71(IQR 6575) years old and 60(IQR 53-64, p < 0.001) for CUR and SLT respectively. After PSM, median SAR for CUR was 43 months(95%CI = 37 – 93) and not reached for SLT(p < 0.001). SLT patients gained a survival benefit of 9.4 months if compared with CUR. MilanCriteria(MC)-In patients were 82.7% of the CUR group. SLT(HR 0.386, 95%CI = 0.23 – 0.63, p < 0.001) and the MELD score(HR 1.169, 95%CI = 1.07 – 1.27, p < 0.001) were the only predictors of mortality. In case of MC-Out, the only predictor of mortality was the number of nodules at recurrence(HR 1.45, 95%CI= 1.09 – 1.93, p = 0.011). Conclusion: It emerged an important transplant under referral in favour of repeated hepatectomy or thermoablation. In patients with MC-Out relapse, the benefit of SLT over CUR was not observed.

- Abstract
Background & Aims: Split liver transplant(ation) (SLT) is still considered a challenging procedure that is by no means widely accepted. We aimed to present data on 25-year trends in SLT in Italy, and to investigate if, and to what extent, outcomes have improved nationwide during this time. Methods: The study included all consecutive SLTs performed from May 1993 to December 2019, divided into three consecutive periods: 1993–2005, 2006–2014, and 2015–2019, which match changes in national allocation policies. Primary outcomes were patient and graft survival, and the relative impact of each study period. Results: SLT accounted for 8.9% of all liver transplants performed in Italy. A total of 1,715 in situ split liver grafts were included in the analysis: 868 left lateral segments (LLSs) and 847 extended right grafts (ERGs). A significant improvement in patient and graft survival (p <0.001) was observed with ERGs over the three periods. Predictors of graft survival were cold ischaemia time (CIT) <6 h (p = 0.009), UNOS status 2b (p <0.001), UNOS status 3 (p = 0.009), and transplant centre volumes: 25–50 cases vs. <25 cases (p = 0.003). Patient survival was significantly higher with LLS grafts in period 2 vs. period 1 (p = 0.008). No significant improvement in graft survival was seen over the three periods, where predictors of graft survival were CIT <6 h (p = 0.007), CIT <6 h vs. ≥10 h (p = 0.019), UNOS status 2b (p = 0.038), and UNOS status 3 (p = 0.009). Retransplantation was a risk factor in split liver graft recipients, with significantly worse graft and patient survival for both types of graft (p <0.001). Conclusions: Our analysis showed Italian SLT outcomes to have improved over the last 25 years. These results could help to dispel reservations regarding the use of this procedure. Impact and implications: Split liver transplant(ation) (SLT) is still considered a challenging procedure and is by no means widely accepted. This study included all

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of postoperative complications on tumor-related (TRD), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing liver transplant (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 425 LTs for HCC from 2010 to 2019. Postoperative complications were classified according to Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) and the posttransplant risk of TRD assessed through Metroticket 2.0 calculator. The population was stratified into high-risk and low-risk cohorts based on the predicted TRD risk of 80%. In a second step, we re-evaluated TRD, DFS and OS of both cohorts according to a further stratification based on 47.3 points of CCI cut-off. Results: In the low-risk cohort, we observed a significantly better DFS (84% vs. 46%, p<0.001), TRD (3% vs. 26%, p<0.001) and OS (89% vs. 62%, p<0.001) in the group with CCI < 47.3. In the high-risk cohort, patients with CCI < 47.3 had significantly better DFS (50% vs. 23%, p = 0.003) and OS (68% vs. 42%, p = 0.02) and a comparable TRD (22% vs. 31%, p = 0.142). Conclusions: A complicated postoperative course negatively influenced long-term survival. This poorer oncological outcome associated with in-hospital postoperative complications suggests that every effort should be made to improve the early posttransplant course in HCC patients, including a careful donor-to recipient match and use of new perfusion technologies.

- Abstract
Background. Although laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) represents the gold-standard technique for kidney living donation, robotic donor nephrectomy (RDN) settled as another appealing minimally invasive technique over the past decades. A comparison between LDN and RDN outcomes was performed. Methods. RDN and LDN outcomes were compared, focusing on operative time and perioperative risk factors affecting surgery duration. Learning curves for both techniques were compared through spline regression and cumulative sum models. Results. The study analyzed 512 procedures (154 RDN and 358 LDN procedures) performed between 2010 and 2021 in 2 different high-volume transplant centers. The RDN group presented a higher prevalence of arterial variations (36.2 versus 22.4%; P = 0.001) compared with the LDN cohort. No open conversions occurred; operative time (210 versus 195 min; P = 0.011) and warm ischemia time (WIT; 230 versus 180 s; P < 0.001) were longer in RDN. Postoperative complication rate was similar (8.4% versus 11.5%; P = 0.49); the RDN group showed shorter hospital stay (4 versus 5 d; P < 0.001). Spline regression models depicted a faster learning curve in the RDN group (P = 0.0002). Accordingly, cumulative sum analysis highlighted a turning point after about 50 procedures among the RDN cohort and after about 100 procedures among the LDN group. Higher body mass index resulted as an independent risk factor for longer operative time for both techniques; multiple arteries significantly prolonged operative time in LDN, whereas RDN was longer in right kidney procurements; both procedures were equally shortened by growing surgical experience. Conclusions. RDN grants a faster learning curve and improves multiple vessel handling. Incidence of postoperative complications was low for both techniques.

- Abstract
Background. The impact of spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSSs) on natural history of cirrhotic patients was recently evaluated through the measurement of total shunt area (TSA), a novel tool that allows a comprehensive assessment of SPSSs extension, identifying a direct correlation of higher TSA with lower patient survival. The role of SPSSs in liver transplant (LT) is still debated: we sought to investigate the clinical impact of TSA on the development of early allograft dysfunction (EAD), acute kidney injury (AKI), postoperative complications, and graft and patient survival following LT. Methods. Preoperative imaging of 346 cirrhotic patients undergoing primary LT between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively revised, recording the size and anatomy of each SPSS to calculate TSA. The impact of TSA and selected patient and donor characteristics on the development of EAD, AKI, and clinically relevant complications was evaluated through univariate and multivariate logistic regression, whereas their effect on graft and patient survival was investigated through Cox regression analysis. Results. A TSA exceeding 78.54 mm2resulted as an independent risk factor for the development of EAD (odds ratio [OR]: 2.327; P = 0.003), grade 3 AKI (OR: 2.093; P = 0.041), and clinically relevant complications (OR: 1.962; P = 0.015). Moreover, higher TSA was significantly related to early graft and patient survivals, emerging as an independent risk factor for 12-mo graft loss (hazard ratio: 3.877; P = 0.007) and patient death (hazard ratio: 2.682; P = 0.018). Conclusions. Higher TSA emerged as a significant risk factor for worse postoperative outcomes following LT, supporting the need for careful hemodynamic assessment and management of patients presenting multiple/larger shunts.

- Abstract
Background and aim: Liver graft utilization rates are a hot topic due to the worldwide organ shortage and an increasing number of transplant candidates on waiting lists. Liver perfusion techniques have been introduced in several countries, and may help to increase the organ supply, as they potentially allow the assessment of livers before use. Methods: Liver offers were counted from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors (Maastricht-type-III) arising during the past decade in eight countries, including Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and US. Initial DCD-type-III liver offers were correlated with accepted, recovered and implanted livers. Results: A total number of 34`269 DCD livers were offered, resulting in 9`780 liver transplants (28.5%). The discard rates were highest in UK and US, ranging between 70 and 80%. In contrast, much lower DCD liver discard rates, e.g., between 30-40%, were found in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. In addition, large differences were recognized in the use of various machine perfusion techniques, and in terms of risk factors in the cohorts of implanted livers. For example, the median donor age and functional donor warm ischemia were highest in Italy, e.g., >40minutes, followed by Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands. Importantly, such varying risk profiles of accepted DCD livers between countries did not translate into large differences in five-year graft survival rates, which ranged between 60-82% in this analysis. Conclusions: We highlight a significant number of discarded and consequently unused DCD liver offers. Countries with more routine use of in- and ex-situ machine perfusion strategies showed better DCD utilization rates without compromised outcome. Impact and implications: A significant number of Maastricht type III DCD livers are discarded across Europe and North America today. The overall utilization rate among eight Western countries is 28.5%, but varies significant

- Abstract
End-ischemic viability testing by normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) represents an effective strategy to recover liver grafts having initially been discarded for liver transplantation (LT). However, its results in the setting of significant (≥30%) macrovesicular steatosis (MaS) have not been specifically assessed. Prospectively maintained databases at two high-volume LT centers in Northern Italy were searched to identify cases of end-ischemic NMP performed to test the viability of livers with MaS ≥ 30% in the period from January 2019 to January 2022. A total of 14 cases were retrieved, representing 57.9% of NMP and 5.7% of all machine perfusion procedures. Of those patients, 10 (71%) received transplants. Two patients developed primary nonfunction (PNF) and required urgent re-LT, and both were characterized by incomplete or suboptimal lactate clearance during NMP. PNF cases were also characterized by higher perfusate transaminases, lower hepatic artery and portal vein flows at 2 h, and a lack of glucose metabolism in one case. The remaining eight patients showed good liver function (Liver Graft Assessment Following Transplantation risk score, −1.9 [risk, 13.6%]; Early Allograft Failure Simplified Estimation score, −3.7 [risk, 2.6%]) and had a favorable postoperative course. Overall, NMP allowed successful transplantation of 57% of livers with moderate-to-severe MaS. Our findings suggest that prolonged observation (≥6 h) might be required for steatotic livers and that stable lactate clearance is a fundamental prerequisite for their use.
