Experience With Dabigatran on Rate of Portal Vein Thrombosis Recanalization, Disease Progression and Survival.

Background And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).

Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.

Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.

Outpatient Intensive Nutrition Therapy Improves Survival and Frailty in Males With Alcohol-related ACLF - Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background & Aims: Improvement in the nutritional status of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) may lead to reduction in morbidity and mortality. This study assessed the impact of dietician-supported outpatient intensive nutrition therapy (OINT) on survival and frailty in patients with alcohol-related ACLF METHODS: Seventy patients with alcohol-related ACLF (Asia Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver [APASL] criteria) and frailty were randomized 1:1 to receive standard medical therapy (SMT) plus OINT (intervention) vs SMT (control) alone. The primary outcome was an improvement in survival at 3 months.

Assessing life cycle sustainability: A comprehensive review of concrete produced from construction waste fine fractions.

This paper presents an overview of the scholarly works employing the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach to evaluate the environmental impact of construction and demolition waste (CDW) fine fractions derived from concrete elements throughout their life cycle. Unlike conventional studies, this work addresses the challenge of reducing the carbon footprint associated with CDW-based building materials, emphasizing environmental impact mitigation. The study highlights that approximately 30% of CDW is landfilled, 50% is recycled, and 20% is used as fill material, underscoring the potential for increasing recycling rates through improved processing techniques and management practices.
