Background: Acute gastrointestinal bleeding (AGIB) is common in older patients but the use of iron in this context remains understudied.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate prospectively the efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose to treat anaemia in older patients after AGIB.
Methods: This randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 10 French centres.
Background: Enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) score is an accurate, noninvasive test for assessing the severity of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease, including alcohol-related liver disease. However, whether the ELF score changes during alcohol withdrawal is unknown. This pilot study assessed changes in the ELF score during withdrawal in patients with a history of excessive alcohol intake.

- Variants in the PRSS1 and PRSS2 genes are linked to chronic pancreatitis (CP), prompting research into whether a deletion variant affecting two trypsinogen pseudogenes (PRSS3P2 and TRY7) might influence CP risk.
- A study analyzed this deletion in over 4,000 participants from different countries and found that it is associated with a protective effect against CP, especially in French, German, and Japanese populations.
- The research suggests that the deletion enhances the function of remaining genes, leading to regulated PRSS2 expression, which could be crucial in understanding CP susceptibility.
The sustained-release moxidectin formulation Afilaria SR is a relatively new product and has been labelled to prevent infection in dogs for a six months-period. An observational, in field multicentric study was performed, aiming to evaluate the tolerability and the long-term prevention of Afilaria SR in Italy, a country where filariasis is endemic. The study was designed to include not less than 300 dogs, older than 6 months, of any breed.
