Non-Variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding [PDF]
Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB), which predominantly occurs secondary to peptic ulcers, presents a major challenge in emergency departments and is associated with high mortality rates.

Scoring system comparison to determine severity in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding [PDF]
Determining scoring values in cases of UGIB is important to do so it can be used as a basis to determine the mortality rate of UGIB patients. Despite the dependency of most risk scoring systems for this disorder on endoscopic findings, the Glasgow ...

Abstract Background and Aims Reliable noninvasive biomarkers are an unmet clinical need for the diagnosis of NASH. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the circulating triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (plasma TREM2) as a biomarker for NASH in patients with NAFLD and elevated liver stiffness.

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.

Predicting survival in patients with 'non-high-risk' acute variceal bleeding receiving β-blockers+ligation to prevent re-bleeding. [PDF]
BACKGROUND&AIMS Pre-emptive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is the treatment of choice in high-risk acute variceal bleeding (AVB; i.e., Child-Turcotte-Pugh [CTP] B8-9+active bleeding/C10-13). Nevertheless, 'non-high-risk' patients

A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

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 ...

Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy With Pre-deflation Ligation for Prolonged Sclerosant Retention in Esophageal Varices: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Esophageal varices are a common complication of portal hypertension, and prophylactic endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ligation (EISL) is an established treatment option. Effective variceal thrombosis requires sufficient intravariceal retention of the sclerosant, because ethanolamine oleate exerts its thrombogenic effect through ...
