Does high Flow-Mediated Vasodilatation predict Pulmonary Edema in Liver Transplant Patients?
The high incidence of pulmonary edema after living donor liver transplantation was associated with a high FMD and FMD/NTD ratio at pretransplantation. FMD is the only significant predictor associated with pulmonary edema. However, we observed no alteration in mortality rates.
Epistatic variation of costs of resistance can result from evolution in the absence of antibiotics, as well as the presence of other resistance mutations.
