Abstract:
With potent nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy, hepatitis B virus (HBV) is now an uncommon indication for liver transplant (LT) in North America. NA therapy, with or without hepatitis B immunoglobulin, results in low recurrence rates and excellent outcomes after LT. Direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV), results in cure in most patients, either before or after transplant. There are now descriptions of good clinical outcomes of transplant from HBV and HCV infected donors, as treatments are so effective and well tolerated. Hepatitis E virus in transplantation requires a high suspicion to diagnose and optimal therapy remains incompletely defined.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
