Development and validation of the Cirrhotic Ascites Severity model—A patient‐reported outcome‐based model to predict 1‐year mortality

Hepatology Communications, 2022
Ascites formation is a sign of decompensation of cirrhosis and heralds a poor prognosis. The widely used standard binary classification of ascites as diuretic‐responsive or refractory does not cover the spectrum of ascites and has limited prognostic ...

Prognostic value of the ascites characteristics in pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from the appendix

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023
BackgroundPseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare disease, with the overall survival (OS) influenced by many factors. To date, no ascites characteristics have been reported to predict OS of patients with PMP.

Clinical Conditions Associated With a High Antinuclear Antibody Titer in Individuals Without Autoimmune Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are present at high titers in 2% of the general population, but their clinical significance in individuals without an autoimmune (AI) disease is not known. We tested the hypothesis that the presence of a high ANA titer in non‐AI conditions is associated with disease.

Isolation Defines Identity: Functional Consequences of Extracellular Vesicle Purification Strategies

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Four extracellular vesicle purification strategies are compared using ovarian‐cancer ascites and ES‐2 cell supernatants. A novel workflow links purification to function by combining particle‐normalized proteomics with matched cell‐free and cell‐based assays.

Efficacy and Safety of Ascites Treatment in Liver Cirrhosis

Безопасность и риск фармакотерапии, 2022
Cirrhosis is one of the major health problems worldwide; and ascites is often its first and foremost manifestation. Despite the advances in modern hepatology, the presence of ascites is associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality.

Ovarian cancer ascites increase Mcl-1 expression in tumor cells through ERK1/2-Elk-1 signaling to attenuate TRAIL-induced apoptosis

Molecular Cancer, 2012
Background Ascites may affect the progression of ovarian cancer (OC). In particular, soluble factors present in OC ascites can create a protective environment for tumor cells that promote de novo resistance to drug- and death receptor-induced apoptosis ...
