Hepatic manifestations in autoimmune disease include chronic active hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and nodular regenerative hyperplasia. These diseases are rare ...

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Background and Aims: Acute variceal bleed (AVB) is an important precipitating factor for development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, there is paucity of ...

Liver fibrosis is characterised by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to chronic and sustained liver damage, triggering a prolonged wound healing response. The ...

Number of patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) were comparable in two groups at baseline (Gp-L vs Gp-NL, 32:36, P = 0.29).

We report a novel coaxial antenna for hepatic microwave ablation. This device uses a floating sleeve, that is, a metal conductor electrically isolated from the outer connector of the antenna coaxial ...

Objective Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) serves as a gatekeeper of hepatic fibrosis by maintaining transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in its latent form. ECM1 knockout (KO) causes latent (L ...

Materials and methods: The analysis included 5,935 participants, excluding individuals with hepatitis infection or substantial alcohol consumption. Magnesium intake assessment was based on 24-h ...

Formation of numerous internal organs involves reciprocal epithelial–mesenchymal signaling and subsequent patterning and growth of the organ primordium. Capsulin is a basic helix–loop–helix ...

Key messages The prevention and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, in people with cirrhosis, largely depends on use of the compound lactulose. Rifaximin is not used to treat hepatic encephalopathy, ...

Acquired hepatocerebral degeneration (AHD) and hepatolenticular degeneration can have similar clinical presentations, but when a chronic liver disease and atypical motor findings coexist, the ...

Foregut malformations (oesophageal atresia, tracheo-oesophageal fistula, lung anomalies and congenital stenosis of the oesophagus and trachea) are relatively common anomalies occurring in 1 in ...

Among these miRNAs, microRNA-223 (miR-223) has emerged as a key regulator of fibrosis, beyond its originally recognized role in innate immunity. By traveling between liver cell types via exosomes ...
