Skeletal Muscle Mass Improvement and Survival After TIPS in Patients With Cirrhosis and Low Skeletal Muscle Index

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Sarcopenia is common in patients with cirrhosis and contributes to poor prognosis. This study investigated whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is associated with improvement in skeletal muscle mass and whether such improvement translates into better transplant‐free survival in patients with cirrhosis and low skeletal muscle ...

PTU-066 Non-invasive assessment of systemic haemodynamics to determine variceal bleeding risk in cirrhotic patients: Abstract PTU-066

, 2015
Variceal bleeding is one of the most severe complications of portal hypertension. Universal endoscopic variceal screening is recommended and primary prophylaxis given based on oesophageal variceal size. Risk of bleeding also relates to other factors such

Prognostic significance of prior alcohol use disorder in patients with presumed metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease: A large multi‐center cohort study

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Alcohol use disorder (AUD) follows a chronic, relapsing course but is often overlooked when alcohol consumption is minimal at the time of evaluation. We aimed to assess the prognostic impact of a prior AUD diagnosis on liver‐related outcomes in patients with presumed metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (

Meta‐Analysis: Safety and Effectiveness of Advanced Therapies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients With Concomitant Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Advanced IBD therapies appear safe and effective in PSC‐IBD. However remission and response rates appear numerically attenuated compared to IBD‐only populations. Created in BioRender (https://BioRender.com/h9bxgij). ABSTRACT Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a distinct phenotype (PSC‐IBD)

Recombinant ADAMTS13 Ameliorates Liver Injury and Improves Hepatic Microcirculation in a Murine Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure Model

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The therapeutic significance of recombinant a disintegrin‐like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (rADAMTS13) in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of rADAMTS13 in a murine model of ACLF‐like liver injury.

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.
