Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Turbulently generated magnetic fields in clusters of galaxies
The typical scale and velocity of the dominant, turbulent eddies excited by the motion of galaxies in clusters are determined from basic considerations which are valid if a steady state is attained. Hydrodynamic turbulence in the intracluster plasma presumably generates magnetic fields; our estimates of the typical scale and mean strength of these ...

Generalizing MOND to explain the missing mass in galaxy clusters [PDF]
Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is a gravitational framework designed to explain the astronomical observations in the Universe without the inclusion of particle dark matter. Modified Newtonian Dynamics, in its current form, cannot explain the missing mass in galaxy clusters without the inclusion of some extra mass, be it in the form of neutrinos or ...

Testing general relativity: New measurements of gravitational redshift in galaxy clusters
Context.The peculiar velocity distribution of cluster member galaxies provides a powerful tool to directly investigate the gravitational potentials within galaxy clusters and to test the gravity theory on megaparsec scales.Aims.We exploit spectroscopic galaxy and galaxy cluster samples extracted from the latest releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (

On a Generalized Mass-Velocity Relation for Disk Galaxies and Galaxy Clusters
We consolidate the BFJ and BTF (MVD) relations into a generalized Scaling Mass Velocity Relation applicable to both pressure-supported galaxy clusters and rotation-supported galaxies. Unlike MOND inspired relations containing a characteristic acceleration scale and its normalization factor, our proposal is dependent on observed dynamic surface mass ...

Large-scale clustering of galaxies in general relativity
Several recent studies have shown how to properly calculate the observed clustering of galaxies in a relativistic context, and uncovered corrections to the Newtonian calculation that become significant on scales near the horizon. Here, we retrace these calculations and show that, on scales approaching the horizon, the observed galaxy power spectrum ...

Next generation cosmology: constraints from theEuclidgalaxy cluster survey [PDF]
We study the characteristics of the galaxy cluster samples expected from the European Space Agency's Euclid satellite and forecast constraints on cosmological parameters describing a variety of cosmological models. The method used in this paper, based on the Fisher Matrix approach, is the same one used to provide the constraints presented in the Euclid
