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

Spondylodiscitis associated with recurrent Serratia bacteremia due to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS): a case report [PDF]
We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device.

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 ...

Esophagojejunal varices occurring after total gastrectomy are rare but potentially fatal in cases of variceal bleeding. Owing to their rarity, treatment strategies for this condition are not well established.

Peristomal variceal hemorrhage at the ileal conduit site due to extrahepatic portosystemic shunt
Peristomal variceal bleeding is a rare but known complication with portal hypertension. In patients with recurrent peristomal hemorrhage, atypical varices should be considered, and liver cirrhosis should be excluded even with normal liver function tests.

Role of manganese in the pathogenesis of portal-systemic encephalopathy
Amongst the potential neurotoxins implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy, manganese emerges as a new candidate. In patients with chronic liver diseases, manganese accumulates in blood and brain leading to pallidal signal hyperintensity ...

ABSTRACT Background &Aims Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF‐15), a cell stress‐induced cytokine, is implicated in liver disease pathophysiology. We investigated GDF‐15 in cirrhosis, focusing on its association with disease‐driving pathomechanisms, platelet function, hepatic decompensation, and mortality.
