Endoscopic management of primary sclerosing cholangitis

Digestive Endoscopy, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive autoimmune hepatobiliary disease characterized by fibrotic strictures in the bile ducts, leading to chronic cholestasis and cirrhosis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a noninvasive method for evaluating the condition of the bile ducts, and has high sensitivity and specificity ...

Update of endoscopy in liver disease:More than just treating varices [PDF]

, 2012
The management of complications in liver disease is often complex and challenging. Endoscopy has undergone a period of rapid expansion with numerous novel and specialized endoscopic modalities that are of increasing value in the investigation and ...

Multi-institutional Validation of Two-Streamed Deep Learning Method for Automated Delineation of Esophageal Gross Tumor Volume using planning-CT and FDG-PETCT [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Background: The current clinical workflow for esophageal gross tumor volume (GTV) contouring relies on manual delineation of high labor-costs and interuser variability. Purpose: To validate the clinical applicability of a deep learning (DL) multi-modality esophageal GTV contouring model, developed at 1 institution whereas tested at multiple ones ...

Effectiveness and safety of antithrombin for treatment of portal vein thrombosis: Nationwide prospective surveillance of 4 years of clinical experience in Japan

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Antithrombin (AT), a plasma protein with anticoagulant properties, has a long‐standing medical history, primarily for treatment of congenital AT deficiency. Accumulated clinical experiences suggest AT is a potential anticoagulant for thrombotic diseases. This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness, safety, and clinical significance of AT

Non-invasive assessment of esophageal varices [PDF]

, 2019
The assessment of non-invasive parameters for the prediction of large esophageal varices among patients with liver cirrhosisis is of utmost importance. In this study, non-invasive parameters for prediction of large esophageal varices were retrospectively

Esophageal Varices Bleeding in Portal Hypertension Due to Portal Vein and Splenic Vein Obstruction [PDF]

, 2002
Based on its relation to the liver sinusoid, increased pressure of portal vein can occur at three levels: presinusoid, sinusoid ,and postsinusoid. Obstruction of the presinusoid veins can be caused by extra- hepatic condition such as venous thrombosis ...

Diagnostic performance of ARFI ultrasound elastography in spleen stiffness measurement to predict esophageal varices [PDF]

Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Presence esophageal varices are an independent predictor of mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Non-invasive assessment of cirrhotic patients to predict esophageal varices have been increasingly used instead of endoscopy.

Contrast‐Enhanced Computed Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Useful for Surveying Gastroesophageal Varices in Patients After Fontan Surgery

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The presence of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) following Fontan surgery (FS) could not be predicted by blood biochemical indices and other clinical factors, and contrast‐enhanced CT or MRI can be useful for surveying GEVs in patients following FS. ABSTRACT Objectives Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a common complication of Fontan surgery (FS) because of the ...

Idiopathic Portal Hypertension: a Rare Cause of Recurrent Hematemesis Melena [PDF]

, 2011
Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) known as non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) is a constellation of liver disorders, in which liver cirrhosis is not present and the main clinical and pathological findings are encountered in the portal venous system.

A continuum mechanics-based musculo-mechanical model for esophageal transport [PDF]

, 2016
In this work, we extend our previous esophageal transport model using an immersed boundary (IB) method with discrete fiber-based structures, to one using a continuum mechanics-based model that is approximated based on finite elements (IB-FE). To deal with the leakage of flow when the Lagrangian mesh becomes coarser than the fluid mesh, we employ ...
