To the Editor: We thank Qi et al. [1] for their interest in our study proposing a non-invasive computed tomography (CT)-based model predicting the level of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG): HVPG score = 17.37–4.91 ln(Liver/Spleen ratio) + 3.8 [if presence of peri-hepatic ascites], entitled ‘‘Accurate computed tomographybased portal pressure assessment in patients with hepatocellular carc...
متن کاملManagement of suspected common bile duct stones on cholangiogram during same-stay cholecystectomy for acute gallstone-related disease
BACKGROUND Recent data have suggested that upfront cholecystectomy should be performed even in the presence of moderately abnormal liver function tests (LFTs). As a consequence, more common bile duct (CBD) stones are discovered on intra-operative cholangiogram. We assessed the presentation and management of such patients to refine their management plan. METHODS Adult patients (>16 years) with...
متن کاملInitial cholecystectomy vs sequential common duct endoscopic assessment and subsequent cholecystectomy for suspected gallstone migration: a randomized clinical trial.
IMPORTANCE The optimal management of treatment for patients at intermediate risk of a common duct stone (including increased liver function tests but bilirubin <4 mg/dL and no cholangitis) is a matter of debate. Many stones migrate spontaneously into the duodenum, making preoperative common duct investigations unnecessary. OBJECTIVE To compare strategies of cholecystectomy first vs a sequenti...

متن کاملOverexpression of TOSO in CLL is triggered by B-cell receptor signaling and associated with progressive disease.
Resistance toward apoptotic stimuli mediated by overexpression of antiapoptotic factors or extracellular survival signals is considered to be responsible for accumulation of malignant B cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). TOSO was identified as overexpressed candidate gene in CLL, applying unit-transformation assays of publicly available microarray datasets. Based on CLL samples from 1...
