HCC Heterogeneity: Molecular Pathogenesis and Clinical Implications
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a major challenge because of the extreme variability of the clinical outcome, which makes it difficult to properly stage the disease and thereby estimate the prognosis. There is growing evidence that this heterogeneous clinical behavior is attributable to several different biological pathways. A novel approach to mapping these differences is by in...
متن کاملChanges in Blood Gases and Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery and Its Clinical Implications

متن کاملDiabetes mellitus in patients with cirrhosis: clinical implications and management.
Disorders of glucose metabolism, namely glucose intolerance and diabetes, are frequent in patients with chronic liver diseases. In patients with cirrhosis, diabetes can be either a classical type 2 diabetes mellitus or the so-called hepatogenous diabetes, i.e. a consequence of liver insufficiency and portal hypertension.

متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility Disorders and Their Clinical Implications in Cirrhosis
Gastrointestinal motility is impaired in a substantial proportion of patients with cirrhosis. Cirrhosis-related autonomic neuropathy, increased nitric oxide production, and gut hormonal changes have been implicated. Oesophageal dysmotility has been associated with increased frequency of abnormal gastro-oesophageal reflux. Impaired gastric emptying and accommodation may result in early satiety a...
متن کاملHepatorenal syndrome in cirrhosis: pathogenesis and treatment.
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a major complication in cirrhosis, with an annual incidence in patients with ascites of approximately 8%.1 It develops at the latest phase of the disease and, although initially considered without impact in prognosis (patients would die with and not by the renal failure), there is now evidence that it is an important determinant in survival. There are more reviews ...
