Validation of the Baveno Endoscopy Avoidance Criteria in Japanese Patients With Chronic Liver Disease: A Real‐World Cohort Study

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Many patients with chronic liver disease can safely avoid unnecessary screening endoscopy using the Baveno VII criteria. We developed a simple three‐factor score to identify patients at high risk of serious esophageal varices. Using both approaches together may improve the efficiency and safety of endoscopic screening.

Cisterna Chyli Dilation Is a Risk Factor for Liver Nodules and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease: Pathophysiological Role of Lymphatic Dysfunction

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD), chronic congestion often confounds conventional fibrosis markers, complicating surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although lymphatic dysfunction is fundamental to Fontan physiology, its contribution to hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear.

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Routine versus standardized blood pressure measurements: Agreement and association with cardiovascular disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recommendations for blood pressure (BP) measurement are poorly followed in clinical practice, possibly leading to inaccurate BP estimates. Objectives To assess the agreement between routine and standardized BPs, and the association between BP level and cardiovascular disease (CVD) for each measurement type.

The Effect of Different Mandibular Advancement Devices on Sleep Parameters in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Obstructive sleep apnea arises from repeated upper airway collapse during sleep, causing apnea events. Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) treat this by advancing the mandible to open the airway. Three device types—conventionally manufactured (Mundgleiter) and CAD/CAM‐manufactured (OPTISLEEP, Narval CC)—were compared, with an average mandibular ...
