The Value of the ALBI and ALBI–PLT Scores in Predicting Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Esophageal varices (EVs) are a common and life‐threatening complication of liver cirrhosis. Endoscopic screening is recommended but remains invasive and resource‐intensive. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) and ALBI–platelet (ALBI–PLT) scores for predicting the presence ...

Centriolar Protein POC5 Regulates Human Adipogenesis and Cellular Senescence: Insights From a Novel Metabolic Ciliopathy

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 14, 31 July 2026.
The identification of a patient carrying a novel homozygous p.(Gln206Ter) POC5 variant revealed a metabolic phenotype associated with POC5 deficiency. POC5 deficiency disrupts centriolar architecture and ciliary organization, leading to impaired proliferation, premature cellular senescence, and reduced insulin signaling.

Correlation of non-invasive parameters with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings for presence and grading of gastroesophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Background: Development of esophageal varices is one of the major complications of liver cirrhosis, and endoscopy is used to see the presence, grading, and long-term monitoring of esophageal varices which is an invasive and unpleasant procedure. There is

Frequency of Gastro Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients with Splenomegaly

Pakistan Journal of Medical Research
Background: Patients with esophageal varices due to cirrhosis have a high propensity to bleed. Changes in hepatic structure result in higher resistance to portal blood flow which causes esophageal varices to form dilated portal veins and splenomegaly ...
