A 69-year-old man with liver cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital with general fatigue. Colonoscopy revealed risky red color sign-positive enlarged tortuous rectal varices. Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) was performed three times weekly using 5% ethanolamine oleate with iopamidol; the
Quality of life is an important concern for patients with chronic liver disease. We sought to describe the frequency, severity, and associations of fatigue, in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We performed association testing between PBC-40 multidomain disease-specific quality of life
The effect of intra-operative compared to postoperative music on postoperative pain was evaluated in a controlled trial. In all, 151 patients undergoing day case surgery for inguinal hernia repair or varicose vein surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly allocated to three groups: group 1
Manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs are related to congenital or acquired stasis in the deep veins, to post-phlebitis occlusion of the deep veins or to stasis in the superficial veins. Functional impairment may be associated with varicose veins or not. Clinical signs
Incompetent communicating or perforating veins are often responsible for recurrent varicose veins with skin changes at the lower leg, especially in the postthrombotic syndrome. Subcutaneous and subfascial surgical explorations carry a 35% complication rate. We used a new endoscopic technique to
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the bile ducts, resulting in end-stage liver disease and reduced life expectancy. PSC primarily affects young and middle-aged men, often in association with underlying

Three patients with symptomatic, noncirrhotic primary biliary cirrhosis who had no evidence of esophageal varices on esophagogastroduodenoscopy and who were treated with ursodeoxycholic acid, 15 mg.kg-1.day-1, for a period of 1-2 years are reported. Initially, all three patients showed improvement
BACKGROUND
Primary biliary cirrhosis is a rare autoimmune liver disease and an effective treatment has been difficult to establish. Some randomised clinical trials have found an effect of ursodeoxycholic acid for primary biliary cirrhosis.
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the beneficial effects and adverse
The clinical, biochemical and histological features of 102 consecutively referred patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection were analysed. Demographic, epidemiological, biochemical, haematological and histological details were catalogued for each patient. The mean follow-up was 49 +/- 6
Forty-six sclerotherapy sessions were performed on liver cirrhotics with high-risk esophageal varices using GT XIII, a sclerosant composed of gelatin, thrombin and coagulation factor XIII. GT XIII was effective for the prevention of temporary symptoms and transient hypotension observed in 55
