Background & Aims: Noninvasive tests (NITs) for ruling-out clinical significant portal hypertension (CSPH) and high-risk varices (HRVs) in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) are lacking. We evaluated NITs in these patients and the influence of cholestasis on their performance.
Methods: Consecutive patients from the "Italian PBC registry" and 2 United Kingdom large-volume PBC referral centers with upper endoscopy within 6 months from biochemical evaluation and transient elastography were included.

Article Synopsis
- * Many RAS face significant barriers in accessing mental health services, resulting in a higher likelihood of being subjected to coercive measures like involuntary hospitalization.
- * The review, based on 23 articles, emphasizes the need for preventive strategies to reduce the use of harmful coercive interventions within the RAS population.
Article Synopsis
- Carbon reserves in trees are influenced by past photosynthesis and can be dated using radiocarbon dating, allowing researchers to study their distribution and turnover.
- A new process model was created to analyze how different tree species manage their carbon reserves, revealing that both young and old reserves coexist within a single tree and are significantly mixed.
- Disturbances like drought, fire, and pests negatively affect reserve mixing and longevity, with older reserves showing notable age shifts after disturbances, suggesting that ecological variations across species play a critical role in reserve management.
