Management of gastric variceal haemorrhage

Journal of British Surgery, 1990
Abstract From March 1979 to April 1988 nine patients with hepatic cirrhosis have presented with acute variceal haemorrhage from gastric varices. Of six patients who underwent emergency laparotomy those with modified Child's grade C (n = 3) died within 30 days of surgery. Six patients have been followed for 2 years or longer. In the three

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided injection of coils and cyanoacrylate glue for the treatment of gastric fundal varices with abnormal shunts: a series of case reports

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Gastric varices are found in approximately 20% of patients with portal hypertension. Endoscopic procedures involving the injection of cyanoacrylate (CYA) have proven to be the therapies of choice for primary treatment of gastric varices and have resulted

Meta‐Analysis: Effects of Steatotic Liver Disease‐Associated Genetic Risk Alleles on Longitudinal Outcomes

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 244-276, August 2025.
Genetic variants associated with risk of steatotic liver disease (SLD) may also influence clinical events. A systematic review and meta‐analysis consisting of 288,423 patients across 40 studies found that variants in PNPLA3, TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 are significantly associated with hepatic outcomes, with modest effects on extrahepatic outcomes.

Genetic analysis of the correlation between GLP1 action and metabolic liver disease: Insights from Mendelian randomization analysis

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1409-1419, August 2025.
Our study provides genetic analysis supporting the beneficial effects of GLP1 action on MASLD. These benefits may be attributed to mechanisms such as lowering blood glucose levels, reducing blood pressure, and improving HDL cholesterol levels. ABSTRACT Purpose Previous studies have shown that glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists may help ...
