Article Abstract
Patients with cirrhosis who require surgeries are at higher risk of surgical complications and mortality than patients without cirrhosis. Several tools are available to predict the risk of mortality after surgery in patients with cirrhosis and should be used as a standard part of the preoperative evaluation. Improving surgical outcomes requires multidisciplinary care to ensure proper patient selection, to determine the appropriate timing of surgery, and to optimize the medical management of cirrhosis.

An observational study on mesangial C4d staining as a prognostic tool in IgA nephropathy.
J Nephrol
September 2025
Institute of Nephrology, Madras Medical College, Chennai, India.
Background: IgA nephropathy is a disease with a highly variable natural history, for which there is an increasing understanding of the role of complement activation in its pathogenesis and progression. We aimed to assess the clinical and prognostic implications of C4d staining in the kidney biopsy of IgA nephropathy patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study wherein the medical records of IgA nephropathy patients were reviewed and baseline characteristics, kidney biopsy findings, treatment response and follow-up data were noted.
Sustained effectiveness of balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for portopulmonary hypertension after liver transplantation: a 5-year follow-up case report.

Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH), a subtype of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), develops with portal hypertension and may persist after liver transplantation. While there have been successes using balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) for POPH, no reports exist on long-term follow-up. A 60-year-old man with hepatitis C cirrhosis developed POPH.

Introduction: Whilst aortic stenosis remains the most prevalent valvular abnormality, the management of asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis remains a clinical challenge. Recently, two randomised-controlled trials (RCTs) - EVOLVED (Early Intervention in Patients With Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis and Myocardial Fibrosis) and Early TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Replacement for Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) - have been published, alongside an extended follow-up from the AVATAR (Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Conservative Treatment in Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) study.
Evidence Acquisition: In response, we conducted a systematic review of PubMed, Ovid, and Cochrane databases, identifying RCTs up to October 29, 2024, that compared early intervention with conventional management.

Desensitization is an immunological process that creates temporary tolerance to a drug, which disappears once treatment is discontinued. Ciprofloxacin is a commonly used antibiotic, particularly for chronic lung diseases, yet there are very few desensitization protocols for it. Two ciprofloxacin desensitization schemes were developed a long time ago.
