Introduction
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways are associated with better postoperative recovery, however, evidence is lacking in major liver surgery, .This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an ERAS pathway in U.S. veterans undergoing major hepatectomy surgery. We hypothesized that the adoption of an ERAS pathway reduces decreased length of stay (LOS).
Methods
After approval from the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center IRB, we compared data from consecutive patients undergoing elective open hepatectomy within an ERAS pathway (January 2019-December 2019) to a previous cohort of patients before introduction of ERAS (July 2016-December 2017). One surgeon performed all …

Introduction/Background
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provides
a cure for patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Natural killer cells (NK) play an important role
in graft versus leukemia (GVL) effect after HCT,
through killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)
interaction with HLA ligands. This study is
undertaken to validate our previously published
mathematical model accounting for the KIR-KIRL
interactions in a post HCT setting.
Methods
Retrospective data were obtained from the Center
for International Blood and Marrow Transplant
Registry for 2317 donor recipient pairs (DRP) who
underwent 7/8 or 8/8 HLA allelic matched
unrelated donor (URD) HCT for AML. KIR-HLA
interaction scores were calculated …
