Objective: This study aimed to reveal the independent risk factors for overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis complicated with diabetes.
Patients And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 126 consecutive patients with cirrhosis combined with diabetes who underwent TIPS in our department from January 2016 to June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of OHE after TIPS. Data were analyzed using the χ 2 -tests, unpaired t -tests, logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic curves, and Kaplan-Meier curves.
Results: Age and ascites were independent risk factors for OHE after TIPS in patients with cirrhosis and diabetes. Elder patients had a higher risk of postoperative OHE than younger patients [odds ratio (OR): 1.040; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.003-1.079]. Compared with patients without ascites, patients with ascites were significantly more likely to develop OHE (OR: 3.757; 95% CI: 1.274-11.080; OR: 4.338; 95% CI: 1.069-17.603).
Conclusion: Age and ascites are independent risk factors of post-TIPS OHE in cirrhotic patients with diabetes.

Background: Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive liver disease even after Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE), and the most common cause of liver transplant (LT) in the pediatric population. This study aimed to unveil the risk factors for LT in BA patients post-KPE.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of BA patients in a northern Taiwan Children's Medical Center from Jan 2000 to Oct 2020.

Background: Despite advancements in understanding the interplay between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiovascular disease and COVID-19, challenges and knowledge gaps persist. This study aimed to characterize the cardiovascular profiles of SLE patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and to evaluate the influence of SLE on the development of cardiovascular complications.
Methods: This was a multicentre, nationwide observational study in which data were sourced from the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry between March 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, involving 150 Spanish hospitals.

Objectives: Infections by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales in hospitals represent a severe threat but little is known on outbreaks in rehabilitation wards caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC-Kp). We report an outbreak by KPC-Kp, in a Neurorehabilitation Unit in Italy, analysed through Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) for transmission routes reconstruction to improve management of KPC-Kp infections in rehabilitation units.
Methods: We investigated cases and KPC-Kp isolates collected from February to October 2022 from hospital surveillance.
