Impact of Frailty on the Prognosis of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Undergoing Insertion of a TIPS
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.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.

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023 Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPS) is a developmental anomaly of the portal vein system. The disease can cause blood from the portal vein to flow into the vena cava, resulting in various atypical clinical manifestations. Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS)

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Features of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) in patients with autoimmune hepatitis indicate a substantial risk for decompensation and impaired transplant‐free survival. Non‐invasive risk prediction based on liver stiffness measurement ≥ 15 kPa and/or thrombocytopenia (< 150 G/L) serves as a valuable surrogate to identify patients at ...

Computed tomography angiography of a congenital extrahepatic splenocaval shunt in a foal
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019 Congenital portosystemic shunts in foals are rare and only a small number of cases have been described. Detailed description of the course of the shunt is lacking in earlier reports.

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.This study shows that both the total SPSS area and the cumulative SPSS diameter decrease significantly and persistently after TIPS placement, whereas the total shunt diameter increases slightly and the total shunt area remains stable. The relative change in SPSS area serves as an independent predictor of mortality. ABSTRACT We evaluated the dynamics of

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.In‐depth multiomics analyses revealed that the gut microbiota in patients with CPH is dysbiotic. Altered gut microbiota plays an important role in the progression of CPH and affects the host's arginine metabolism to promote arginine biosynthesis. The pro‐inflammatory effects of certain gut bacteria induce iNOS expression, which together act on the ...

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling biomarkers reflect portal hypertension and disease severity in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). However, their predictive value for disease progression is largely restricted to compensated ACLD (cACLD). ABSTRACT Background Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is ...
