CONCEPTUALIZING PERCEIVED BENEFITS AND STUDENT ENROLMENT INTENTION
Authors: ANNE NIROSHINI SIMONDS et al.
Published: June 2023

Innumerable research has been done on perceived benefits in transnational higher education, such as Desire, career aspirations, and Diverse Program Options, and how these facts could affect Student Enrollment Intentions. The concept of factors persuading students to select a TNHE program has always discussed several other factors such as Facilitating Conditions, Institutional Reputation, Perceived Price Value, Convenience, and so on. However, this study discovers the relationship between Perceived Benefits and Student Enrollment Intention with three dimensions in place, such as Desire for a western-based education, Diverse program options, and Career Prospects and the author would conduct a much more extensive literature review with a combination of statistical analysis that discusses the relationship. It was also identified with the literature support that Educational Aspirations mediate between Career Prospects and Student Enrollment Intention for which a thorough statistical backing would be discussed in this chapter. Since it is easy to understand by internal and external stakeholders and has theoretical, literary, and statistical support, the study "Perceived Benefits and Student Enrolment Intention Framework" is topical and pertinent. The framework guides those wishing to develop curricular and pedagogical initiatives to increase student enrollments in TNHE.

DNS-based optimisation of airfoils for Martian helicopters using PyFR
Authors: Roca Lidia Caros
Published: June 2023

The Martian atmosphere has a lower density and lower speed of sound compared to Earth. These conditions require Martian rotor blades to operate in a low-Reynolds-number (1,000 to 10,000 based on chord) compressible regime, that is atypical for terrestrial helicopters. Non-conventional airfoils with sharp leading edges and flat surfaces have shown improved performance under such conditions, and second-order accurate Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Unsteady RANS (URANS) solvers have been combined with Genetic Algorithms to optimize such airfoils. However, flow over the airfoils is characterized by unsteady roll-up of coherent vortices, and transition to turbulence. Hence RANS/URANS solvers may have limited predictive capability, especially at higher angles of attack. The current study overcomes this limitation by undertaking optimization using high-order accurate Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) via the compressible flow solver in PyFR. Specifically, a triangular airfoil is optimized at an angle of attack of α = 12^∘ with spanwise-periodic DNS. Multi-objective optimization is performed to maximize lift and minimize drag, yielding a Pareto front of non-dominated airfoils. Q-criterion isosurfaces, lift coefficient spectra, pressure coefficient distributions, velocity line integral convolutions and skin friction distributions are analyzed for airfoils on the Pareto front to elucidate the flow physics that yield optimal performance. The optimized airfoils achieve up to a 48% increase in lift and a 28% reduction in drag compared to a reference triangular airfoil previously tested experimentally in the Mars Wind Tunnel at Tohoku University. The work constitutes the first use of DNS for aerodynamic shape optimization.
Breve revisión bibliográfica sobre el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en el alumnado con discapacidad visual
Authors: Garrido Feijóo R.M. , Silva Baldonedo M.L.
Published: June 2023

El interés por el alumnado con discapacidad visual y sus dificultades en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las lenguas extranjeras han sido el motor del presente estudio, en el que se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo sobre el tema, desde las primeras publicaciones hasta la actualidad, abarcando casi un siglo. Frente a la unanimidad de resultados en los análisis sobre el aprendizaje de la lengua materna, que no muestran diferencias entre el alumnado con y sin discapacidad visual, estas sí surgen cuando se trata del aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, en el que la metodología, estrategias y materiales (adaptación y creación) han ido variando con el paso del tiempo, igual que las demandas de profesorado y alumnado, a lo que hay que sumar la irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías en el sistema educativo, un recurso al servicio de docentes y discentes cuyo conocimiento y manejo ayudan en el proceso, siempre y cuando estos recursos sean adecuados y accesibles.
Disordini tiroidei nel bambino e nell’adolescente con trisomia 21

Published: June 2023

Thyroid function disorders represent the most frequently detected medical complication among patients with trisomy 21, with a reported prevalence ranging from 4-8% in childhood to 50% or more in adulthood. Over 1% of newborns with Down syndrome show clinical and/or biochemical signs consistent with congenital hypothyroidism, overall, promptly identified by means of the neonatal screening. The 30% of patients are diagnosed with transient congenital hypothyroidism, while 70% show a lifelong need for hormonal replacement therapy with levothyroxine. Afterwards, non-autoimmune subclinical hypothyroidism represents the most frequent finding, with reported prevalence ranging from 23 to 60%. It is still controversial whether subclinical hypothyroidism can be labelled as a pathological condition or represents the expression of a mere asymptomatic upwards shift of TSH, with no clinical impact. In addition, syndrome-related abnormalities in the mechanisms underlying immune tolerance result in a greater occurrence of autoimmune disorders. Graves’ disease and autoimmune hypothyroidism in the setting of Hashimoto thyroiditis are experienced by almost 30% of Down patients. Finally, it is not infrequent that the latter clinical picture switches into hyperthyroidism and vice versa, in an unpredictable clinical continuum. Given the increased lifelong risk of experiencing thyroid function disorders in children and adolescents with Down syndrome, a systematic periodic clinical and biochemical assessment is recommended, in order to promptly detect and eventually treat pathological conditions.

Published: June 2023

The use of the intranasal route of administration to deliver drugs in children became more and more popular in the last decades. Seizure, severe acute pain, and severe hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, may be managed with intranasal drugs. The intranasal administration is minimally invasive, not painful, needleless, and easy to learn and use. The evidence shows that it is a safe and effective way to deliver lipophilic drugs, that are quickly absorbed. This article is a practical guide that provides indications, dosages, and some “tricks” for this way of administration.

Shared Learning and Unity of Knowledge: Connecting a First-Year Core Course and the Major Curriculum
Authors: Dose Jennifer J.
Published: June 2023

A first-year general education core course can act as a keystone connecting general education and specialized major courses, enhancing their value in the eyes of students and recognizing student goals for both career preparation and self-discovery. The core course introduces themes based on distinctive institutional mission and identity and also points out their relevance to future major coursework and organizational contexts beyond graduation. Major courses can then reinforce those same key themes, which may already be implicit in the curriculum. This article describes a first-year core course at Messiah University, a faith-based institution, where students participate in the course in the same semester with the same curriculum, emphasizing shared learning as well as integration of course themes and specialized major curriculum. Examples of how major courses reflect back on the core course are also provided. The article places course design in the context of general education reform and best practices, examines the scarce but promising evidence of the benefits of creating such connections, and provides recommendations for implementation in a variety of institutional contexts.
Philip Roth, Mikhail Bakhtin, and the Dialogic Didactic
Authors: Ferraro Antonio J.
Published: June 2023

This article uses Philip Roth’s final novel Nemesis to explore and challenge long-held assumptions about the incommensurability of the Bakhtinian concept of the “dialogic” and didactic storytelling. Many critics have traditionally dismissed didacticism as an unproductive “monologic” or “univocal” discourse in which one voice—the author’s—is dominant. In this dismissal, critics contend that didacticism silences all other perspectives and restricts interpretive possibilities to craft a single moral truth. But this dismissal fails to account for the complexity and ambiguity of Bakhtin’s idea of dialogism and for works like Roth’s, in which the ultimate moral commitments in fact arise out of, rather in spite of, layered dialogic exchanges. Roth’s narrative of a polio outbreak in 1940s New Jersey therefore not only functions effectively on its own terms but also opens up new possibilities for understanding didacticism and the unexplored formal variety of dialogism.
Trauma, Mind Style, and Unreliable Narration in Toni Morrison’sHome
Authors: Whitt Richard J.
Published: June 2023

This article provides a twofold reading of Toni Morrison’s novel Home. In the first instance, the stylistic representation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is explored in relation to Frank’s mind style; this is done through a focused examination on passages related to Frank’s misremembered murder of a girl during his time as a soldier in the Korean War. Frank’s guilt and faulty memories, and his lingering experience of PTSD, lead to the issue of narrative unreliability. This article shows how not just Frank himself but also the unspecified third-person narrator is just as unreliable as Frank, if not more so. The seemingly contentious relationship between Frank and the other narrator ultimately leads to Frank’s realization about his hand in the murder of the Korean girl, and hence to a coming to terms with and recovery from war-induced PTSD.
Representational Intelligibility and the Confines of Framing the Self: Carmen Maria Machado’sIn the Dream House
Authors: Wiese Annjeanette
Published: June 2023

Carmen Maria Machado’s experimental memoir In the Dream House—a haunting account of domestic abuse between partners who share a gender identity—lays out in both explicit and nontraditional ways the problems faced when representing aspects of experience that are deemed culturally unintelligible. Telling her story in this way opens her narrative up to an understanding that could not be had without the fragmentation of form that constitutes both a rejection of and dependence on conventional representations. This article will analyze Machado’s engagement with the specifically narrative and representational obstacles she faces. Ultimately, this article argues that her story gains its power by speaking to the larger issues of violence outside of stereotypically “accepted” cultural narratives, but also that it is only by refracting her story through these framings that she is able to make her narrative of self cohere out the jumble of forces at play.
Associative Learning from Verbal Action-Effect Instructions: A Replication and Investigation of Underlying Mechanisms
Authors: Damanskyy Yevhen , Martiny-Huenger Torsten , Parks-Stamm Elizabeth J.
Published: June 2023

According to the ideomotor principle, repeated experience with an action and its perceivable consequences (effects) establish action-effect associations. Research on verbal instructions indicates that such associations are also acquired from verbal information. In the present experiment (N = 651), first, we aimed to replicate unintentional response-priming effects from verbal action-effect instructions (direct replication; Condition 1). Second, we investigated the involvement of perceptual processes in the verbally induced response-priming effect by perceptually presenting (Condition 1) versus not presenting (Condition 2) the color that was subsequently named as an effect in the instructions. Third, we tested a saliency-based explanation of the verbally induced response-priming effect by highlighting all components (action and effect) without an association between them (Condition 3). Overall, we found the predicted response-priming effect following verbal action-effect instructions (overall conditions and in the replication Condition 1). Condition 2, which did not include perceptual information in the instructions, still showed a significant response-priming effect but was descriptively weaker compared to the effect of the replication Condition 1. Condition 3, which merely highlighted the action and effect component without endorsing an association, did not show a significant effect. In sum, our study provides further solid evidence that verbal instructions lead to unintentional response-priming effects. Other conclusions must be considered preliminary: The between-condition comparisons were descriptively in the predicted direction—perceptual aspects are relevant, and a saliency-based account can be excluded—but the differences in accuracy between conditions were not statistically significant.

Published: June 2023

Aim: Comparison of proximal femoral nail versus dynamic condylar screw in treating reverse oblique intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Study Design: Retrospective study Place and duration of study: CMH Kharian, Allama Iqbal International Hospital Kharian and Madni Hospital Gujrat from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2022. Methodology: Sixty five patients who had suffered from reverse oblique intertrochanteric femoral fractures and were either treated through proximal femoral nail or by dynamic condylar screw were included. Patients who were treated with proximal femoral nail were placed in group 1 while those treated with dynamic condylar screw were placed in group 2. The comparative outcomes between both groups were than analyzed and documented in a well-structured questionnaire. Results: There was no significant variance in the mean age of the patients in group 1 (proximal femoral nail) and group 2 (dynamic condylar screw) with a value as 65.53±3.1 and 59.35±3.2 years respectively. There were more females in both groups than males however with no significant variance. Non-union and implant breakage observed in the dynamic condylar screw cases were 5/32 and PFN cases 2/33 respectively; with a significant p value difference. The fixation revision was required in 5case with dynamic condylar screw implant failure while it was 2 in cases of proximal femoral nail. The rate of infection was higher in dynamic condylar screw patients. Practical Implication: There was no advantage of open reduction by dynamic condylar screw over the closed proximal femoral nail reduction. Proximal femoral nail reduction and fixation presented to be a better option for treating reverse oblique intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Conclusion:A high rate of non-union is presented in dynamic condylar screw treated cases.Proximal femoral nail fixation presented to be a better option for treating reverse oblique intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures Keywords: Intertrochanteric, Intramedullary, Femur, Reverse Oblique fractures

Background: The fetus is thought to have an inherent growth potential that under normal circumstances, yields a healthy newborn of appropriate size. Knowledge of weight of fetus in intrauterine life is important for the obstetrician to decide the management plan for delivery whether it would be vaginal or cesarean section. Aim: To compare estimated fetal weight on ultrasound at term with actual birth weight in Bahawalnagar Punjab. Methodology: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted at Tahir Medical Complex Haroon Abad district Bahawalnagar. Data of 200 participants were designated done suitable sample method. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. Results: out of total number of 200 pregnant women, mean±S. D of estimated fetal weight were 3245.8150±17.53151, Mean ±S. D of actual birth weight were 3260.7700±17.80643. Mean±S.D of Biparietal diameter were 9.2325±0.23428. The minimum and maximum values were 8.70 and 9.76 respectively. Two hundred pregnant females were included in this study. Conclusion: This study indicates that estimation of Birth weight clearly has a role in management of labor and delivery in a term pregnancy. Among term singleton cephalic pregnancies studied, fetal weight estimation using Hadlock’s formula is comparable to ultrasound estimates for predicting the actual birth weight within 10%. This study also revealed the mean estimated weight through ultrasound were similar to actual weight. Our results indicated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in estimation of birth weight to be considerably significant therefore it is a reliable modality for estimating fetal weight using the Biparietal diameter, femur length and abdominal circumference as compared to actual birth weight. Keywords: Expected Fetal weight, actual fetal weight, Biparietal diameter, abdominal circumferences, femur length.

Published: June 2023

Örnekler matematik yaparken bir öğrenme ve öğretim aracı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bundan dolayı örnekler matematik öğretim sürecinde merkezi bir rol oynamaktadır. Ancak örneklerin sınıf ortamında matematik öğretimi için nasıl kullanıldığı genellikle öğretmenin ellinde olup, bu süreç her zaman öğrencilerin matematik öğretimini desteklemeyebilir. Bu çalışma ortaokul matematik öğretmenlerinin matematik öğretiminde seçtikleri örnekler ve bu örnek seçimlerinin altında yatan nedenleri keşfetmeyi bunun yanı sıra öğretmenlerin matematik yaparken ve öğretirken örnek kullanımı hakkındaki görüşlerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada keşfedici nitel araştırma deseninden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri on iki ortaokul matematik öğretmeni ile yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmelerine dayanmaktadır. Görüşmelerden elde edilen verilerin analizinde açık kodlama süreci kullanılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin ‘çarpanlar ve katlar’ konusuna ilişkin örnekleri seçme nedenleri: ‘Daha kolay örneklerle başlama, amaçsız/ilk akla gelen, öğrenmeyi destekleme, matematiksel özelliğe dikkat çekme, yanlış genellemeleri engelleme, standart, istisnai bir duruma dikkat çekme ve farklı’ olmak üzere 8 kategori altında toplanılmıştır. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda öğretmenlerin tamamının daha kolay örneklerden başladığını bunun yanı sıra örneğin matematiksel özelliğine dikkat çektiklerini ve standart olduğu için örnekler seçtikleri görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin çok az bir kısmının ise örnek seçerken istisnai bir duruma dikkat çekme, farklı örnekleri kullanma ve yanlış genellemeleri engelleme amacıyla seçtikleri görülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra yapılan görüşmeler sırasında öğretmenlerin örnekleri çok sık kullandıkları ama örnekler hakkında çok fazla düşünmedikleri görülmüştür.

Authors: Persson Jeffry Erick
Published: June 2023

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease characterized by fat accumulation in liver cells. It is linked to obesity and insulin resistance. NAFLD increases the risk of cardiovascular complications and liver-related problems, while its association with hypertension is not yet clear. Aim: to investigate the potential link between NAFLD and hypertension

Methods:  This qualitative systematic review conducted a comprehensive search on Ovid-MEDLINE up until March 2021 to identify longitudinal observational studies examining the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the development of hypertension, following the guidelines of PRISMA. The study selection included longitudinal studies with a minimum one-year follow-up.

Results: Out of the initial 1108 articles, a final analysis of 11 observational cohort studies was conducted after excluding studies based on predetermined criteria, resulting in a total sample size of 390,348 individuals with an average follow-up period of 5.7 years. These studies, conducted in various regions, examined the relationship between NAFLD and incident hypertension using consistent diagnostic methods.

Conclusion: NAFLD is linked to a higher risk of hypertension, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and further investigating the impact of NAFLD severity on hypertension.
BERKELEY'S CRITERION OF A MECHANIST VIEW AND HIS ATTACK ON THE MECHANIST VIEW
Authors: Ben Itamar Joshua
Published: June 2023

An attempt will be made to present the criterion of a mechanist view that Berkeley adopted, as well as his uniqe attack on the mechanist view. According to the criterion of a mechanist view as implied from berkeley's writings, a mechanist view is one that explains the natural phenomena, assuming material causes only. Berkeley claims that the material world as perceived by us is a collection of sensual ideas. These ideas exist in our mind. Berkeley also claims that the ideas are passive. An idea is merely a sign for another idea, and not the cause of the formation of another idea Berkeley claims that the term "Force", which many physicists think that it represents a cause of phenomena as velocity changes, dose not represent a real quality. Berkeley is defined as an empiricist. But in order to preserve scientific achievements and the ability to connect between phenomena and to predict, he claims that we have to use the term "Force" although it dose not represent a real quality. The term "Force" represents in his opinion a mathematical fiction. This view of Berkeley is called " Scientific Instrumentalism". Science does not deal with material causes according to Berkeley's view. The universal mind (God) is the real cause of natural phenomena, "planting" the regular ideas referred to as '' nature''. Still minds and God should be dealt with in metaphysics. Therefore Berkeley's attack on the mechanist view is the result of his view that only in metaphysics we deal with real spiritual causes. Since Berkeley attacks the mechanist view, he is defined as an anti mechanist. In Berkeley's opinion, there is no difference between the picture of the world which follows from his philosophy, and the common sense picture. Moreover, no scientific achievement suffers as a result of his philosophy

Governance and management models for research networks: features, characteristics, and relevant factors - a literature review
Authors: Cavalcante Márcio , Murari Thiago , Ferreira Cristiano
Published: June 2023

Research on the subject indicates the need to construct appropriate governance and management models for research networks to ensure their effectiveness and success in achieving their objectives and outcomes. In this context, this study aims to characterize the current knowledge about the possibilities and limitations of adopting governance and management models for research networks, considering the characteristics of the environment in which this structure will be implemented. A literature review was conducted using the Google Scholar, Scielo, and Science Direct knowledge bases, considering scientific and open review articles published between 2010 and 2020. The results indicated that, to build and adopt more suitable governance and management models for networks, factors such as relationship quality, number of participants, strategy, management structure and process, planning and coordination, technological resources, and information systems need to be evaluated. However, no specific studies were found on the construction and use of governance and management models for research networks. It can be concluded that in shaping network environments and structuring governance and management mechanisms, it is important to prioritize characteristics involving social, political, technical, and economic aspects in the analysis.

Projects are essential for organizations to transform strategies into results, but uncertain events can impose risks to achieve a certain objective. Risk management aims to support an organization in deciding how to deal with risks, prioritizing them through the application of Risk Matrices (RMs). RMs or Probability and Impact Matrices is used to support decision-making, helping management to classify and prioritize risks to decide which will be ad-dressed, monitored, or tolerated. RMs are supposedly easy to build and explain, but according to the literature they may contain uncertainties. To deal with uncertainty, it is recommended to apply a Fuzzy Inference System, based on Fuzzy Set Theory (FST) or a Fuzzy Neural Inference System with the presence of an artificial neural network. Thus, the aim of this paper was to develop and apply a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and a Fuzzy Neural Inference System (FNIS) in the classification of MRs in projects to reduce uncertainty. The analysis of the results indicated that the application of the two systems resulted in a continuous classification rule by smoothing the boundary areas between each of the RM classes, reducing uncertainty and improving risk classification. Both systems showed good results in reducing uncertainty. However, the results obtained with FNIS were more consistent. The main contribution of this work lies in the possibility of improving the decision making by reducing the uncertainty present in RMs.

Protothecosis is an uncommon disease caused by a unicellular algae primarily found in organic matter, which affects humans, cattle, dogs, and cats, with a reserved to poor prognosis. The infection typically begins in the gastrointestinal tract, presenting as refractory diarrhea that persists for months before progressing to a systemic infection, involving other organs such as the eyes. The objective of this study was to report two cases of protothecosis in dogs that initially presented with gastrointestinal symptoms for several months before developing visual deficits and blindness. The diagnosis was made through histopathological examination of the eye and testicle, aiming to raise awareness among veterinary colleagues about the differential diagnosis of protothecosis in patients with ocular alterations associated with gastrointestinal diseases.

Background: PU is caused by physical elements such as shearing forces, friction, and dampness. Long periods of sitting or lying in the same position without moving can cause ischemia and necrosis of the skin and underlying tissues in patients with neurological problems. Schizophrenia, severe depression, and other serious mental illnesses, as well as any hygienic neglect and the older age group, between 60 and 80 years, also enhance the risk of PU development. Objective: To identify the association of braden scale with the development of open wound PU among patients who were hospitalized with neurological disorders at a private tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: According to calculated sample size 93 people from Pakistan's Murshid Hospital and Healthcare Centre (MHHCC) were enrolled in the study using a cross-sectional analytical study design. An organized questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data and braden scale was used associate the findings. SPSS 21 was used to analyze the data and the Chi-Square test was applied to find the association. Results: . Patients in group I had an average age of 54.27±17.49 years. It was 52.23±19.77 years in group II, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.47).

The Southern Permian basin in central Europe contains a number of important high-grade sediment-hosted Cu deposits. Laterally extensive stratabound Cu and Zn-Pb sulfide mineralized rocks are located at a major stratigraphic redox boundary, where coarse-grained continental sandstones of the uppermost Rotliegend Group are overlain by carbonaceous mudstones (T1) and limestones (Ca1) of the Zechstein Formation. This study investigates the diagenetic evolution and style of sulfide mineralization in three drill cores that intersect Cu and Zn-Pb sulfide mineralized rocks at three locations (Sangerhausen, Allstedt, and Wallendorf) in the Saale subbasin (Eastern Germany), which is located at the southern margin of the Southern Permian basin. We combine macro- to microscale petrographic data (binocular, transmitted and reflected light, and scanning electron microscopy) with quantitative X-ray diffractometry and bulk-rock geochemical analyses. Petrographic results show extensive, primary-porosity-occluding, early diagenetic calcite cementation that predates both the diagenetic alteration of detrital clasts and sulfide mineralization. The highest-grade Cu and Zn-Pb sulfides (bornite, sphalerite, and galena) replace the calcite cement, with subordinate replacement of dolomite and detrital clasts. Quantitative mineralogical and geochemical data demonstrate that the highest base metal (Cu, Zn, and Pb) concentrations are associated with carbonate-rich samples, mostly as disseminated mineralization in the middle T1. Bulk-rock geochemical results show enrichment and covariation of redox-sensitive trace elements (RSTEs, e.g., Mo) with total organic carbon content toward the lower T1, consistent with highly reducing depositional conditions. Overall, the distribution and dissolution of calcite cement across this stratigraphic redox boundary provided the main control on the lateral migration of base metal-bearing fluids and high-grade Cu and Zn-Pb sulfide mineralization in the Saale subbasin.

Wilson’s disease is rare, but it affects 6-12% of patients with an indication for urgent liver transplantation. The main manifestations, in addition to the liver, are neurological and psychiatric, with evolution with fulminant hepatitis without neuropsychiatric symptoms being rarer. Despite the urgency, the prognosis for post-transplant patients averages 85% 5-year survival. In this report, we present the case of a female patient, 18 years old, with the onset of abdominal pain, jaundice and choluria that progressed to fulminant hepatitis and the need for urgent liver transplantation. The patient evolved postoperatively with septic shock due to herpetic encephalitis, duodenal ulcer with active bleeding and hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Despite measures for stabilization and the request for a transplant again, the patient died.

A doença de Wilson é uma rara patologia, porém, que engloba 6–12% dos pacientes com indicação de transplante hepático de urgência. As principais manifestações, além de hepáticas, são as neurológicas e psiquiátricas, sendo mais raro a evolução com hepatite fulminante sem sintomas neuropsiquiátricos. Apesar da urgência, o prognóstico para os pacientes pós-transplante é, em média, 85% de sobrevivência em cinco anos. Neste relato, é apresentado o caso de uma paciente mulher, 18 anos de idade, com início de dor abdominal, icterícia e colúria com evolução para hepatite fulminante e necessidade de transplante hepático de urgência. A paciente evoluiu no pós-operatório com choque séptico devido encefalite herpética, úlcera duodenal com sangramento ativo e pseudoaneurisma de artéria hepática. Apesar das medidas para estabilização e solicitação, novamente, de um transplante, a paciente evoluiu para óbito.
