- - The study aimed to understand the natural history and prognostic factors of porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) by analyzing a large cohort of 587 patients across 27 centers, finding that the majority were asymptomatic at diagnosis, but many experienced complications related to portal hypertension.
- - Over a median follow-up of 68 months, 8.5% of patients underwent liver transplantation, while 19% died, highlighting significant risks like portal hypertension-related bleeding and ascites, as well as the impact of age and liver function on prognosis.
- - The findings indicate that the severity of underlying conditions and liver/renal function significantly influence survival chances, leading to the development of a nomogram for more accurate prognosis prediction in
Background: Enlarged left atrium (LA) is frequently identified in patients who undergo left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and negatively affects the device's final position and intervention results. Steerable delivery sheath (SDS) could represent an option to overcome these difficulties. We aimed to assess the feasibility of SDS-assisted procedures and compare their efficacy to the standard sheath strategy.

Aim: To describe the IBD phenotype, therapeutic requirements and prevalence of opportunistic infections (OI) in IBD patients with a coexistent HIV infection.
Background: The diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) in adults is based on clinical, serological and histological criteria. The inappropriate performance of intestinal biopsies, non-specificity of mild histological lesions and initiation of a gluten-free diet (GFD) before biopsy may hamper the diagnosis. In these situations, determining the intraepithelial lymphogram of the duodenum by flow cytometry (IEL-FC) can be helpful.
