DAXX promotes ovarian cancer ascites cell proliferation and migration by activating the ERK signaling pathway

Journal of Ovarian Research, 2018
Background The death-domain-associated protein (DAXX) was originally identified as a protein that binds to the transmembrane death receptor FAS and enhances both FAS-induced and transforming growth factor-β-dependent apoptosis.

Ascites control by TIPS is more successful in patients with a lower paracentesis frequency and is associated with improved survival

JHEP Reports, 2019
Background & Aims: Refractory ascites is the main reason for the implantation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in liver cirrhosis, but ascites control by TIPS fails in a relevant proportion of cases. Here, we investigated whether

Ascites matters [PDF]

Ultrasound, 2016
The excess accumulation of intra-peritoneal fluid, referred to as ascites, is an important clue that points to a significant underlying illness. This may be due to a pathological event within the peritoneal cavity or secondary to an underlying systemic condition. Ascites is broadly classified into transudate and exudate, based on protein content, with
