Impact of Frailty on the Prognosis of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Undergoing Insertion of a TIPS
In patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS, frailty—measured by the Liver Frailty Index—improved in those with poor baseline status; therefore, high frailty should not be seen as a contraindication to elective TIPS. Additionally, LFI assessment before TIPS enables identification of patients with excellent survival prognosis.

Chylothorax after patent ductus arteriosus ligation in a dog with persistent left cranial vena cava
This report is the first to document chylothorax after patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation in a dog with a persistent left cranial vena cava (PLCVC), highlighting potential complications arising from concurrent cardiovascular anomalies. A nine‐month‐old female desexed Pomeranian was referred for PDA. Echocardiography confirmed a left‐to‐right shunt

ABSTRACT Bariatric surgery is the most clinically‐ and cost‐effective intervention for severe obesity. However, without adequate follow‐up, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Patients require life‐long nutritional supplements and follow‐up to prevent nutritional deficiencies from developing.

NSun2‐Mediated tsRNAs Alleviate Liver Fibrosis via FAK Dephosphorylation
NSun2 deficiency inhibited sinusoidal capillarization, alleviating liver fibrosis. Reduced NSun2 expression led to alterations in the functional tsRNAs tRF‐1‐S25 and tRF‐5‐V31, which regulate sinusoidal capillarization by targeting key proteins, including DUSP1 and FAK – crucial clinical targets – offering a novel RNA‐based therapeutic approach for ...
