Secondary Prophylaxis of Cirrhotic Gastric Variceal Bleeding: Addition of Non‐Selective Beta‐Blockers to Endoscopic Combined Treatment

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background It remains unclear whether the addition of non‐selective beta‐blockers (NSBB) provides further benefit after combined use of tissue adhesive and endoscopic variceal ligation for bleeding gastroesophageal varices. Objective This is the first cohort study comparing the secondary prophylactic efficacy of adding NSBB to combined ...

CiThroModel Improves Prediction of Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Patients With Cirrhosis Without Hepatocellular Carcinoma

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a recognized complication of acutely ill patients, but its incidence and risk factors in those with cirrhosis are uncertain. Methods We retrospectively studied a consecutive cohort of cirrhosis patients non‐electively admitted to our medical unit to determine the rates of symptomatic VTE during

Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Cirrhotic Patients: A New Simple and Fast Digital Screening Method

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backround Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is a common and prognostically severe complication of cirrhosis with a significant impact on the quality of life. Detailed diagnostic work‐up of minimal hepatic encephalopathy is time‐consuming and difficult to integrate into daily clinical routine.

Differential metabolic and cellular brain regional susceptibility in adult rats with chronic liver disease [PDF]

arXiv
Background & Aims: Patients with type C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) present diverse symptoms indicating that various brain regions are affected. Understanding the distinct metabolic and cellular changes across these regions could help explain the clinical variability of HE.

Diagnosis and Monitoring Pathways Using Non‐Invasive Tests in Patients With Alpha‐1 Antitrypsin Deficiency‐Associated Liver Disease: Results From an Expert Delphi Panel

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The severe alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) genotype Pi*ZZ increases the risk of liver disease (AATD‐LD) and lung disease. While non‐invasive tests (NITs) are widely used for fibrosis stage and monitoring of all liver diseases, the consensus for use in AATD‐LD is limited.

A Markov model for the spread of Hepatitis C [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
We propose a Markov model for the spread of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) among drug users who use injections. We then proceed to an asymptotic analysis (large initial population) and show that the Markov process is close to the solution of a non linear autonomous differential system.

European Consensus on Malabsorption—UEG & SIGE, LGA, SPG, SRGH, CGS, ESPCG, EAGEN, ESPEN, and ESPGHAN. Part 1: Definitions, Clinical Phenotypes, and Diagnostic Testing for Malabsorption

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malabsorption is a complex and multifaceted condition characterised by the defective passage of nutrients into the blood and lymphatic streams. Several congenital or acquired disorders may cause either selective or global malabsorption in both children and adults, such as cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), coeliac ...

BOston Neonatal Brain Injury Data for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (BONBID-HIE): II. 2-year Neurocognitive Outcome and NICU Outcome [PDF]

arXiv
Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) affects approximately 1-5/1000 newborns globally and leads to adverse neurocognitive outcomes in 30% to 50% of cases by two years of age. Despite therapeutic advances with Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH), prognosis remains challenging, highlighting the need for improved biomarkers.

Modeling the dynamics of Hepatitis C Virus with combined antiviral drug therapy: Interferon and Ribavirin [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
A mathematical modeling of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) dynamics has been presented in this paper. The proposed model, which involves four coupled ordinary differential equations, describes the interaction of target cells (hepatocytes), infected cells, infectious virions and non-infectious virions.
