TL;DR: A meta-analysis of data from 1327 patients with cirrhosis, acute variceal bleeding, and Child-Pugh score between 10-13 points or CP-B+AB found that preemptive TIPS increased the proportion who survived for 1 year, in both subgroups separately, compared with drugs plus endoscopy.

TL;DR: This study provides Class II evidence that ETNS reduces seizure frequency in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy and is an effective and well-tolerated therapy for focal DRE.

TL;DR: ROMA and CPH-I perform better than tumor markers alone to identify patients harboring EOC or MCO to assess the risk of malignancy of adnexal masses, especially in cases where ultrasonographic diagnosis is challenging.

TL;DR: An investigator-initiated, open-label, randomised clinical trial (RCT) is designed to explore the efficacy of adding inhaled budesonide to usual care to prevent disease progression in patients hospitalised because of COVID-19 pneumonia.

TL;DR: The long‐term impact of SVR on the development of non‐tumoural PVT is analysed and it is shown that sustained virological response to direct‐acting antivirals ameliorates portal hypertension, improves hepatic function and may reverse the procoagulant state observed in patients with cirrhosis.
