Verification of thrombus formation just after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation for esophagogastric varices by venous phase of left gastric arteriography

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Management of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is important in the treatment of portal hypertension. We report a case that was treated by a hybrid procedure combining endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation (EISL), left gastric artery ...

Portal vein peak systolic velocity is a useful noninvasive predictor of high‐risk varices in biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Portal vein (PV) flow velocity is considered an indicator of portal hypertension. However, few studies have evaluated the predictive performance of PV flow velocity for high‐risk varices (HRV) in children with biliary atresia (BA). In this study, we evaluated the predictive performance of PV peak systolic velocity (PSV) for HRV in ...

Shear wave elastography in assessment of liver stiffness and prediction of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Background Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a result of liver cirrhosis and could correlate it with esophageal varices.

Learning curve of nurse‐performed electromagnetic‐guided nasogastric tube placement in adult ICU patients: A multicenter prospective study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Safe and timely nasogastric tube (NGT) placement is essential for effective enteral nutrition delivery in critically ill patients. Electromagnetic‐guided systems has been shown to improve placement accuracy and may reduce delays from confirmatory imaging, but evidence on how nurses acquire competence with this technology remains ...

Recombinant ADAMTS13 Ameliorates Liver Injury and Improves Hepatic Microcirculation in a Murine Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure Model

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The therapeutic significance of recombinant a disintegrin‐like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (rADAMTS13) in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of rADAMTS13 in a murine model of ACLF‐like liver injury.

Alcohol‐Associated Pancreatitis Confers Higher Risk of Advanced Liver Disease Than Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Alcohol‐associated liver disease frequently presents late as decompensated cirrhosis, representing a missed opportunity for intervention. Extrahepatic alcohol‐related presentations requiring acute care, such as alcohol‐associated pancreatitis and alcohol withdrawal syndrome, may identify heavy drinkers at varying risk for ...
