Background The HLADQA1*05 variant increases the risk of developing antibodies against infliximab and adalimumab. Whether proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (PTDM) could overcome this immunogenicity remains unknown. The primary aim was to evaluate the influence of the allele HLADQA1*05 on treatment persistence. Methods We performed a single centre retrospective cohort study. IBD patients starting anti-TNF therapy between January, 2017 and March, 2021 were included. HLA DQA1*05 genotype screening was performed during, 2021. PTDM was defined as periodic drug level measurement (≥2 determinations during the first year of treatment and ≥1/annual determination during the following years), regardless of clinical condition, with according dose optimization. Patients not fulfilling these criteria were excluded. Target concentration during induction:, 25–30 mcg/ml (week, 2) and, 20 mcg/ml (week, 6) for Infliximab and >, 10 mcg/ml (week, 2 and, 4) for Adalimumab. During maintenance:, 3–10 mcg/ml for Infliximab and, 8–12 mcg/ml for Adalimumab. Clinical remission was defined as HBI 1 and biochemical remission as a fecal calprotectin Results 126 patients started anti-TNF therapy during the study period. Fourteen were excluded (8 lacked PTDM and, 6 declined the HLA DQA1*05 genotype), thus including, 112 patients with a median follow-up of, 73.9 (IQR:, 35.4–133.1) weeks, 52 (46.4%) HLADQA1*05 positive. Figure, 1 presents baseline characteristics. Combination therapy with thiopurines was more frequent among HLADQA1*05 negative patients (28 (46.7%) vs, 12 (23.1%), p=0.01). During their first year, patients underwent a median of, 3 (IQR, 2–4) drug level measurements. We performed, 497 determinations (4/patient (IQR:3–6);, 149 (30%), drove to dose modifications, 63 (42.3%) among symptomatic patients and, 86 (57.7%) among asymptomatic ones. Primary nonresponses were higher (8.1% vs, 0, p=0.06) among HLADQA1*05 negative patients. The HLADQA1*05 positive presented non-significant higher clinical remission rates at week, 14 (77.9% vs, 73.9%, p=0.69) and, 56 (73.2% vs, 68.4%, p=0.64) (figure 2). Figures, 3 and, 4 presents drug persistence, which was higher among HLADQA1*05 positive patients (HR:, 0.32, 95% CI:, 0.14–0.71, p=0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified systemic steroids at anti-TNF initiation (Hazard ratio (HR):, 4, 95% CI, 1.7–9.7) as a risk factor and a positive HLA DQA1*05 genotype (HR:0.31 (0.12–0.81)) as a protective factor of treatment cessation. Fig.1 Fig. 2. Fig.3 Fig.4. Conclusion: When PTDM is performed, a positive HLA DQA1*05 genotype does not associate a higher risk of treatment cessation.

- Abstract
Background: Carriers of the human leucocyte antigen variant HLADQA1*05 (rs2097432) are at risk of developing antibodies against infliximab and adalimumab with reduced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist persistence. The impact of proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (PTDM) on this association has been barely assessed., Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study including patients with inflammatory bowel disease starting anti-TNF therapy between January 2017 and March 2021. Proactive therapeutic drug monitoring was defined as periodic drug level measurement (≥2 determinations during the first year of treatment and ≥1/annual determination during the following years), regardless of clinical condition, followed by dose optimization. Variables associated with treatment persistence were assessed with multivariable Cox regression analysis., Results: A total of 112 patients were included, 52 (46.4%) HLA-DQA1*05 carriers, with a median follow-up of 73.9 (interquartile range, 35.4-133.1) weeks. Combination therapy with thiopurines was more frequent among HLA-DQA1*05 noncarriers (28 [46.7%] vs 12 [23.1%]; P = .01). Clinical remission rates at week 14 (77.9% vs 73.9%; P = .69) and 56 (73.2% vs 68.4%; P = .64) were similar between HLA-DQA1*05 noncarriers and carriers. Drug persistence was higher among HLA-DQA1*05 carriers (hazard ratio [HR], 0.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.14-0.71; P = .01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified systemic steroids at anti-TNF initiation (HR, 4; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-9.7) as a risk factor and HLA-DQA1*05 carriers (HR, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.12-0.81) as a protective factor of treatment cessation., Conclusion: In adult patients with PTDM, a positive HLA-DQA1*05 genotype does not associate a higher risk of treatment cessation nor worse clinical outcomes., (© The Author(s) 2023.

- Abstract
We present the case of a 78-year-old man with dyslipidemia with ongoing treatment with statins. He was admitted for a history of 3-month dysphagia and weight loss. The physical exam was unremarkable. Blood tests revealed anemia (hemoglobin 11,5 g/dL). Gastroscopy showed a partially stenotic bulging ulcer in the middle esophagus, with a fibrinous base and residual clot Histopathology ruled out any malignancy and confirmed the presence of transmural necrosis with infiltration of inflammatory cells. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 11x11x12 cm thoracic aortic aneurysm, with an intramural 4 cm thrombus in the anterolateral wall. The patient was referred for urgent Vascular Surgery, but unfortunately, he presented massive hematemesis with cardiorespiratory arrest, and despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he died.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Obesity is considered a risk factor for perioperative complications, but its effect on patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) remains unclear. This study was conducted to analyze the impact of obesity on early morbidity and mortality risk following LT., Methods: A multicenter study of outcomes in patients submitted to LT between 2009 and 2019 was conducted. Recipients were stratified into obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and nonobese patients (BMI < 30 kg/m2). Early postoperative complications were compared and 30-day and 1-year patient and graft survival were assessed by Kaplan-Meier method. Primary graft nonfunction (PGNF) was defined as the presence of total bilirubin > 10 mg/dl, INR > 1.6 or ALT > 2000 U/l within the first week after LT., Results: A total of 1608 patients were included after applying exclusion criteria, nonobese (1149, 71.46%) and obese patients (459, 28.54%). There were no significant differences in age, sex, Model for End-stage Liver Disease, Charlson comorbidity score, ethnicity, waiting list time and ischemia time. There were significantly higher rates of vascular (17.58% vs 23.53%, P = 0.021) and biliary complications (27.68% vs 35.73%, P = 0.006) and PGNF (11.40% vs 12.20%, P = 0.021) in obese patients. There was a significantly increased risk for long-term graft failure; however, there was no significant difference in patient survival after LT., Conclusion: Obese patients have significantly increased morbidity in terms of vascular and biliary complications and PGNF after LT. They have a higher risk for worse 1-year graft survival in comparison to controls., (Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) on postreperfusion biopsies is associated with worse outcomes after liver transplantation, although the influence on biliary complications (BC) remains poorly studied. Therefore, the primary aim of our study was to assess the influence of IRI on the incidence of BC. A secondary aim was to assess the influence of steatosis on biliary complications and determine factors that predictor BC., Methods: We report a retrospective cohort study including patients with liver transplantation and postreperfusion injury. Biopsies were classified as relevant and nonrelevant ischemia reperfusion injury for assessment of BC. BC included anastomotic stricture, ischemic cholangiopathy, leaks, and bilomas. Independent predictive factors of biliary complications were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses., Results: 302 patients were included, and 125 patients fulfilled the criteria for relevant IRI (41.4%). Worse IRI was not associated with biliary complications (42.5% vs 40.1%; P = .68), nor was liver graft steatosis associated with BC (40.5% vs 41.5%, P = .95). The median time until biliary complications did not differ between the 2 groups (2 months; interquartile range = 1-15 vs 3 months; interquartile range = 1-12.5; P = .18). Hepatic artery thrombosis (odds ratio [OR] = 3.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-8.2; P = .004), older donor age (OR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1-4.1; P = .024), and prolonged cold ischemia time (OR = 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-3.2) were independent factors of biliary complications., Conclusion: Severe IRI on the postreperfusion injury does not predict development of biliary complications., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
We present the case of a 73-year-old woman with no relevant medical history. She was admitted for a 3-month intermittent melena. The physical exam was unremarkable. Blood tests revealed anemia (hemoglobin 7.4 g/dL), raised urea (69 mg/dL), normal platelets and coagulation. Gastroscopy was performed with active oozing bleeding in the fundus and gastric body. Endoscopic fulguration of the potential lesions with holmium laser was performed. She was discharged with resolution of the symptoms and analytical improvement. However, the patient required hospitalization two weeks later due to recurrence of melena and anemia.
