Spleen Stiffness Measurement as a Predictor of Advanced Liver Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy
Background: Chronic hepatitis B is a viral infection that may progress to liver fibrosis. Progressive fibrosis increases portal pressure, leading to elevated spleen stiffness.

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 ...

Stiffer Spleen Predicts Higher Bone Marrow Fibrosis and Higher JAK2 Allele Burden in Patients With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
A total of 63 myeloproliferative neoplasms [MPN; 9 polycythemia vera (PV), 32 essential thrombocythemia (ET), and 22 myelofibrosis (MF)] underwent spleen stiffness (SS) measurement by vibration-controlled transient elastography equipped with a novel ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Silicone Breast Implants as a Model System for Understanding Polymer Permeation in Soft Materials In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone breast implants are presented as a model system for understanding polymer permeation in vivo. Rather than representing material failure, “gel bleed” emerges from solution–diffusion transport‐mediated. By integrating polymer architecture, physicochemical transport, and biointerfacial processes, this review provides a unified framework that ...

Evaluation of Splenic Stiffness Measurement for Predicting Recurrent Esophageal Variceal Bleeding in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia
Introduction. Esophageal variceal bleeding is one of the complications caused by an increase in pressure within the portal vein blood vessels. The gold standard examination for portal pressure is the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), but HVPG ...

Accurate reflection of hepatic venous pressure gradient by spleen stiffness measurement in patients with low controlled attenuation parameter values

JGH Open, 2021
Background and Aim Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) is useful for assessing portal hypertension. It is unclear whether SSM values are appropriate because vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) does not generate B‐mode images.

The Role of Shear-Wave Elastography of the Spleen in Ruling out the Presence of High-Risk Varices in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Applied Sciences, 2023
The progression of liver fibrosis and the presence of portal hypertension are two key points in the follow-up and severity assessment of patients with chronic liver disease.

Liver and Spleen Stiffness to Predict Portal Hypertension and Its Complications [PDF]

, 2020
Portal hypertension is a common syndrome characterized by an increase in portal venous pressure driving life-threatening complications. In advanced chronic liver disease, increased portal venous pressure is one of the hallmarks of progression; in this ...
