Imaging of Portal Gastroduodenopathy

Journal of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology, 2021
Portal hypertension is characterized by elevated pressure in portal venous system due to portal resistance due to various causes. The etiologies are either pre-hepatic, hepatic, or post-hepatic.

Pre-operative hepatic artery resistive index is a non-invasive predictive indicator of prognosis in biliary atresia

Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 2017
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate hepatic artery resistive index (HARI) as a noninvasive prognostic predictor by correlating it with peripheral blood nitric oxide (NO) levels, portal pressure (PP) and histopathological changes in the liver in ...

NON-INVASIVE PREDICTORS OF PORTAL HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATITIS C VIRUS RELATED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2015
The reference standard for portal venous pressure measurement which is clinically important for estimating the feasibility of resection of hepatocellular carcinoma is the hepatic venous pressure gradient, which is invasive and expensive.

Portal Hypertension in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in the Era of Non-invasive Assessment

European Medical Journal, 2021
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the emerging global health problems due to an increase of burden worldwide. It has been known that NAFLD is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

National Consensus on Portal Hypertension Management in Indonesia

Acta Medica Indonesiana, 2022
Portal hypertension is a clinical syndrome that consists of hypersplenism, ascites, gastroesophageal varices, and encephalopathy. This condition is marked by increased portal pressure gradient and may occur with or without liver cirrhosis.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Therapeutic effect of captopril, pentoxifylline, and cordyceps sinensis in pre-hepatic portal hypertensive rats

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2012
Background/Aim: Portal hypertension is an important and potentially fatal complication of liver disease whereby cellular and fibrotic alterations manifest to increase portal venous pressure. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of captopril,
