The detection of malignant liver tumours is recently increasing. These lesions have frequently arterial vascularization which differs from healthy parenchyma with main portal flow making them especially susceptible to transarterial therapies. Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE) is an emerging treatment for the management of different liver tumours.

Background And Objective: Allergy to mollusks has been the focus of fewer studies than allergy to crustaceans. Furthermore, allergy to mollusks is less well characterized. Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics of mollusk-allergic patients, to identify the responsible allergens, and to assess cross-reactivity.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Plant food allergies associated with lipid transfer protein (LTP) have been widely described in the Mediterranean Basin.
Objective: The aim of this work was to describe the clinical profile and pollen sensitization of plant food- allergic patients sensitized to LTP in a non-Mediterranean area.
Methods: Patients with clear IgE-mediated symptoms associated with plant foods and a positive skin prick test (SPT) to Pru p 3 were included in a prospective study in the north of Spain.
Background/aims: It is estimated that up to 30% of CD patients develop abdominal abscesses; the management of active luminal CD in such patients represents a clinical challenge. The aim of this study is to assess the safety of biologics in patients with Crohn's disease and abdominal abscesses treated with percutaneous drainage and/or broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Methodology: We performed a retrospective review of the clinical charts of consecutive Crohn's disease patients with abdominal abscesses treated with anti-TNFα therapy attended in our institution.
