Band Ligation Resolves Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Overlying Esophageal Varix
When early-stage esophageal cancer overlies an esophageal varix, endoscopic mucosal resection is not safe because of risk of variceal bleeding. We report a 59-year-old man with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and an 8 mm Stage I adenocarcinoma in the ...

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhosis: varix or no varix? [PDF]
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding from variceal origin is a frequent complication in the cirrhotic population. Duodenal variceal haemorrhage, however, is infrequent and the endoscopic management of such lesions is not straightforward. Non-endoscopic options include vasoactive drugs, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), transvenous ...

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

A mass in the right atria was detected by computed tomography (CT) 2 years ago in a 61-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension and surgery for gall bladder carcinoma. The latest CT imaging indicated enlargement of the mass. Transthoracic echocardiography showed that a mobile mass in contact with the septum was present in the right atria ...

Natural history of liver disease in a large international cohort of children with Alagille syndrome: Results from the GALA study. Abstract Background and Aims Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem disorder, characterized by cholestasis. Existing outcome data are largely derived from tertiary centers, and real‐world data are lacking.

Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis
Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor‐family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation has been shown to result in liver fibrosis.
