Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the second most common indication for liver transplants in the U.S. and Europe. Although reported survival rates after transplantation were similar between alcoholics and non-alcoholics (up to 60 percent at 7 years following transplant), concerns about alcohol relapse post-transplant have made the practice somewhat controversial, especially in light of the shortage of donor organs. To offset this risk, it is common practice to establish a 6 month period of abstinence from alcohol before listing a patient for liver transplant. Not only may improvement in liver function result, but higher rates of relapse have been reported in patients who have abstained for less than 6 months before undergoing transplantation. Although several previous studies analyzed the rate of alcohol relapse after liver transplantation and its influence on patient survival and transplant success, researchers had previously not studied patients for a longer follow-up period. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=21623

sure disproves yours. Notice it was at the top of the list. wonder why that was?

Look right here, all they say is you cant CONTINUE to use drugs and alcohol after the transplant. Sign a I promise note and you are good to go http://www.liverfoundation.org/db/articles/1016

It's 100% true. And think about it, how many non-drinkrers lose there liver? Most everyone who gets a transplant is a drunk

actually the tax payers are the true victim. i bet that guy is out drinking again on his second liver

they forced him to drink?

Says it costed $300,000 all paid for by medifreeload. Yet he still owns his own house worth at least $100,000. Should the government be able to seize his house to pay for what we tax payers paid for? Its not fair the tax payers to be left with this bill

did i touch a raw nerve?

Well go figure. Cut and run it is. Democrats are just gun shy. We lose a few soldiers here and there and they want to throw in the towel. But if you compare how many Americans who are dieing to how many Iraqis are and the number of Americans is really very small. How many die on the road each day? Or of accidents at work? We need to stay and finish the mission. Its very much worth the cost. Plus our soldiers are gaining valuable combat experience they can use in the next war. That is very important. If I was Bush I'd go to the nation and ask for 500,000 volunteers to join the army and go over and finish the job of pacifying Iraq. Men would go if asked. No one has asked. The congress would approve the funds once they saw all the young men asking to join and go over to serve a noble cause and Bush would be remembered for ever for putting together a great army that got the job done

wayyyyyyyyy too liberal for me

blah, blah, blah freedom of speech has gone way to far in this country. These liberal flag burners should be tossed off message boards and such.

I have a feeling that's not the reason no Dim answered the question

Several democraps won last week by demonizing the free trade agreements that allowed us to have cheaper goods. Some jobs have been lost as overweight union workers were forced to look for real work Exactly what will the Democraps do? Repeakl the free trade agreements? Know what that will do to the economy???? Please explain what plan the Dems have here

BB= Bill Belichik not Beer ball. Do they still sell beer balls?

Come back and talk to me after Magioni wins a few super bowls. He should be kissing BB feet

Missing that field goal was such a let down it contributed to the lackluster effort on defense that followed. If he had made that kick the defense would have played better

Wouldn't hurt if Losman could get rid of the ball before he gets sacked

The o line may not be the best but losman doesn't hurt a team that blitzes because he can't find the open reciever and get him the ball.

Losman is a chump. Face it, the guys a bust

If someone is coming unblocked it generally means someone should be open for a quick pass.

Excuse me, maybe he wasn't throwing the ball because he holds it too long, fumbles, throws intercetons and can't throw the ball away. DUH!

Our game plan seems to be not to let Losman lose the game for us. Wouldn't it be nice to have a quarterback that can make plays?

What's wrong with it is that its a pipe dream. Can't you see through her little game. Everyone knows the iraqis can't run that place, not for a long time. We need to stay there for a long time and let them evolve into a democracy. This will outlast the Bush presidency just like he said it would.

Oh great, look at the emotional knee jerk reaction of the far left lib leadership! I told ya! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061109/ap_on_...emocrats_iraq_4 WASHINGTON - Emboldened by their congressional election triumph and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's resignation, Democrats say they will use their new clout to force a change in Iraq policy and demand that President Bush start bringing troops home.
