Article Synopsis
- This study compares the balloon catheter and end-hole catheter methods for measuring hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) in cirrhosis patients from October 2017 to January 2024.
- Results showed significant differences between HVPG values and portal vein pressure gradient (PPG), with the end-hole catheter providing measurements closer to PPG and a higher ability to screen for bleeding risk.
- The presence of intrahepatic veno-venous shunt (IHVS) affected the accuracy of the balloon catheter method, leading to generally lower HVPG readings.
Background And Objectives: To evaluate efficacy and aesthetic outcome for combined endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy (E-SM) and endoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy (E-SLNB) in early stage breast cancer patients.
Methods: Combined E-SM+E-SLNB was compared to modified radical resection in a cohort of Chinese patients (n = 49) with stages I and II breast cancer. Patient satisfaction with the aesthetic results was assessed 1 year after surgery with a 5-item-by-4-step scoring system for evaluating cosmetic outcomes.
This paper proposed a new concept of ecological security for protection by a comprehensive analysis of the contents and standards of world heritage sites. A frame concept model named "Pressure-State-Control" for early warning of ecological security at world heritage mixed sites was constructed and evaluation indicators of this frame were also selected. Wuyishan Scenery District was chosen for a case study, which has been severely disturbed by natural and artificial factors.
