Incidence, predictive factors and clinical significance of development of portal vein thrombosis in cirrhosis: A prospective study.

Background And Aims: The role of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in the natural history of cirrhosis is controversial. There are few prospective studies validating risk factors for development of PVT. We analysed the incidence, factors associated with PVT development and its influence on cirrhosis decompensations and orthotopic liver transplant (OLT)-free survival.

Anticoagulation in Cirrhosis and Portal Vein Thrombosis Is Safe and Improves Prognosis in Advanced Cirrhosis.

Background: The role of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in the natural history of cirrhosis is controversial.

Aims: We analyzed the safety and effect of anticoagulant therapy (AT) on PVT recanalization and orthotopic liver transplant (OLT)-free survival.

Methods: Eighty consecutive patients from a prospective registry of cirrhosis and non-tumoral PVT at a tertiary center were analyzed.

World without borders-genetic population structure of a highly migratory marine predator, the blue shark ().

Highly migratory, cosmopolitan oceanic sharks often exhibit complex movement patterns influenced by ontogeny, reproduction, and feeding. These elusive species are particularly challenging to population genetic studies, as representative samples suitable for inferring genetic structure are difficult to obtain. Our study provides insights into the genetic population structure one of the most abundant and wide-ranging oceanic shark species, the blue shark by sampling the least mobile component of the populations, i.

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas sp. Strain LFM046, a Producer of Medium-Chain-Length Polyhydroxyalkanoate.

Pseudomonas sp. LFM046 is a medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHAMCL) producer capable of using various carbon sources (carbohydrates, organic acids, and vegetable oils) and was first isolated from sugarcane cultivation soil in Brazil. The genome sequence was found to be 5.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Producing Bacterium Burkholderia sacchari LMG 19450 Isolated from Brazilian Sugarcane Plantation Soil.

Burkholderia sacchari LMG 19450, isolated from the soil of a sugarcane plantation in Brazil, accumulates large amounts of polyhydroxyalkanoates from sucrose, xylose, other carbohydrates, and organic acids. We present the draft genome sequence of this industrially relevant bacterium, which is 7.2 Mb in size and has a G+C content of 64%.
