Should You Take Aspirin Every Day? Here ’s What the Science Says
Aspirin is best known as an over-the-counter painkiller. But acetylsalicylic acid, as it’s called chemically, has many other health benefits, as well as side effects, in the body that have only become clear in recent years. Here’s what the latest science says about the health benefits and side effects of aspirin, as well as which conditions it may treat and those it doesn’t appear to improve. (If you are taking aspirin for any reason other than for periodic pain relief, it’s best to consult with your doctor to confirm whether the benefits outweigh the risks in your particular case.) How aspirin affe...

Beneficial Effects of Adrenal Androgen Supplement in Bleeding Cirrhotic Rats
In conclusion, androgen deficiency exists in bleeding cirrhotic rats. DHEA augments terlipressin-induced amelioration of shock without influencing splanchnic hemodynamics, possibly rendering it a feasible adjunct to vasoconstrictors in variceal hemorrhage.

Medical Conditions Among Survivors of Adolescent and Young Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Conclusion: This study found that sociodemographic factors were associated with the risk of developing medical conditions in AYA NHL, ALL and AML survivors. As expected, the risk of medical conditions varied by cancer type and treatment, with those undergoing SCT having a higher risk of medical conditions regardless of cancer type. NHL and ALL survivors who were uninsured or publicly insured were at a consistently higher risk of developing medical conditions, as were Hispanic ALL survivors and Black AML survivors. Our findings highlight the higher burden of medical conditions in subgroups of cancer survivors that may relat...

Efficacy and Safety of Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
The atrial fibrillation-related stroke is clearly prevented by anticoagulation treatment, however, management of anticoagulation for AF in patients with cirrhosis represents a challenge due to bleeding concerns. To address this issue, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was performed.

Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency Leading to Liver Cirrhosis: a Case Report of a Rare Variant Mutation.
We describe the case of a 53-year-old Brazilian man who was referred to our center due to the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis of unknown etiology. He was asymptomatic and had normal body mass index. He had dyslipidemia, and family history of myocardial infarction and stroke. Abdominal imaging tests showed liver cirrhosis features and the presence of intrahepatic calcifications. Initial investigation of the etiology of the liver disease was not elucidated, but liver biopsy showed microgoticular steatosis and cholesterol esters deposits in Kuppfer cells. The dosage of serum lysosomal acid lipase was undetectable and we found th...

Acute Esophageal Necrosis: A View in the Dark
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as Gurvits syndrome, black esophagus, or acute necrotizing esophagitis, is a rare clinical entity and an unusual reason for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is typically described in critically ill patients with multiple medical conditions, arising from a combination of ischemic insult to the esophageal mucosa due to low-flow vascular states, corrosive injury caused by reflux of acid and pepsin, and decreased function of the mucosal barrier systems and reparative mechanisms as occurs in malnourished and debilitated physical states. Patients with AEN tend to be older men, as me...

Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with Cirrhosis.
Authors: Higuchi R, Tobaru T, Hagiya K, Saji M, Mahara K, Takamisawa I, Shimizu J, Iguchi N, Takanashi S, Takayama M, Isobe M Abstract Cirrhosis is a significant adverse factor of cardiac surgeries. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved as a less invasive therapy for aortic stenosis, whereas detailed case analysis of TAVI in cirrhotic patients is limited.Among 444 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI in the Sakakibara Heart Institute between October 2013 and January 2018, we retrospectively reviewed 11 patients (2.5%) with cirrhosis. All outcomes were defined according to the Valve Academic ...

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Cirrhotic Patients: Current Evidence and Clinical Observations.
Authors: Elhosseiny S, Al Moussawi H, Chalhoub JM, Lafferty J, Deeb L Abstract The introduction of Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) to the pharmaceutical market provided patients and clinicians with novel convenient and safe options of anticoagulation. The use of this class of medications is currently limited to venous thromboembolic therapy and prophylaxis, in addition to stroke prophylaxis in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Despite their altered hemostasis, patients with cirrhosis are thought to be in a procoagulant state and thus prone to thrombus formation. Patients with cirrhosis might benefit...

Increased suicide risk among patients oophorectomized following benign conditions and its association with comorbidities.
Conclusion: A significant increase in suicide rate among oophorectomized women aged 20-49 years was found. The decision to perform oophorectomy should be made cautiously, especially in patients with hypertension, COPD, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis or anxiety disorder. Patients should be followed for at least 6 years postoperatively since the suicide rate is significantly higher in this period. PMID: 31462149 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
