Aim And Background: A combination of terlipressin and albumin is the standard of care for patients with hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI). The study aimed to compare the venous congestion using lung ultrasound score (LUS) and radiographic assessment of lung edema (RALE) scores among terlipressin responders and nonresponders and survivors and non-survivors.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center, prospective, observational study, we included adult patients with HRS-AKI who had received terlipressin and albumin from 28th April 2022 to 16th October 2022.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high incidence and mortality rates, with severe prognoses during invasion and metastasis stages. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, the impact of the tumour microenvironment, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, on CRC progression and metastasis is not fully understood.
Methods: This study included 107 CRC patients.

EUS -guided drainage of walled-off necrosis is the first step of the endoscopic step-up approach. Lumen-apposing metal stents are preferred over plastic stents for safe and effective drainage because of their wide caliber.
