The Potential Role of Transient Elastography in Assessing Patients with Primary Budd Chiari Syndrome

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) is a rare disease defined as hepatic venous outflow obstruction at any level from the hepatic venules up to the cavo-atrial junction. Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) is performed as a decompressive treatment in some patients. 1.2. Aim: To evaluate the potential role of Transient Elastography (TE) in …

Gut-Liver Axis Modulation: A Potential Role of Probiotics and Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Management of NAFLD

1. Abstract Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has currently emerged as common liver disorder com- pared to alcoholic liver disease. The prevalence of NAFLD in India varies from 9% in rural areas to 32% in urban populations. This incidence is reported to be the lowest in western India (44.1%) compared to the highest prevalence in …

Evidence to the Empirical: A Novel Clinical Score to Predict Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) in Patients of Chronic Liver Disease Using Ascitic Fluid (AF) Ap- pearance, Symptoms & Severity of Cirrhosis

1. Abstract 1.1. Background and objectives: Ascitic fluid cell count is definitive to diagnose SBP. Timely availability of cell count is crucial, especially in peripheral setting. Study aims to identify reliable predicting factors and to arrive at a a five point Novel Non- invasive clinical score for SBP in CLD which in turn provides evidence …

Rs1310191201(C>T) Polymorphism in 3‘UTR of BIRC5promote Carcinogenesis of Human Gastric Cancer by De-Regulation by Mir-330-5p in Chinese Population

1. Abstract Previous reports have revealed that down-regulation of miR-330-5p expression can promote os- teosarcoma growth and invasion by targeting oncogene Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing pro- tein 5 (BIRC5). However, the function of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the 3’UTR of BIRC5 regulated by miR-330-5p has not been investigated in human Gastric Can- cer …

Undertreatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are known for poor outcomes increased risk of iatrogenic infection. New Direct Antiviral Agents (DAA) can now cure HCV infection. However, undertreatment is still common in patients undergoing THA. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of HCV infection and treatment rates inpatients with …
