Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts With Covered Stents Increase Transplant-Free Survival of Patients With Cirrhosis and Recurrent Ascites
There is controversy over the ability of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) to increase survival times of patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites. The high rate of shunt dysfunction with the use of uncovered stents counteracts… Continue reading

Estrogen Signals Through Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor−γ Coactivator 1α to Reduce Oxidative Damage Associated With Diet-Induced Fatty Liver Disease
Inefficient fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria and increased oxidative damage are features of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In rodent models and patients with NAFLD, hepatic expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor−γ (… Continue reading
Estrogen Signals through PPARG coactivator 1 alpha to Reduce Oxidative Damage Associated with Diet-induced Fatty Liver Disease
Inefficient fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria and increased oxidative damage are features of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In rodent models and patients with NAFLD, hepatic expression of PPARG coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A or PGC1A) is … Continue reading
Effectiveness of Pelvic Physiotherapy in Children With Functional Constipation Compared With Standard Medical Care
Functional constipation (FC) is a common childhood problem often related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. We compared the effectiveness of pelvic physiotherapy (PPT) vs standard medical care (SMC) in children with FC. Continue reading
Effectiveness of Pelvic Physiotherapy in Children With Functional Constipation, Compared with Standard Medical Care
Functional constipation (FC) is a common childhood problem often related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. We compared the effectiveness of pelvic physiotherapy (PPT) vs standard medical care (SMC) in children with FC. Continue reading
Similar Efficacy of Proton-Pump Inhibitors vs H2-Receptor Antagonists in Reducing Risk of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding or Ulcers in High-Risk Users of Low-Dose Aspirin
It is not clear whether H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) reduce the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in aspirin users at high risk. We performed a double-blind randomized trial to compare the effects of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) vs a H2RA anta… Continue reading
