1. Endoscopic submucosal dissection vs. endoscopic mucosal resection for early Barrett's neoplasia in the West: a retrospective study

   ENDOSCOPY, v.54, n.5, p.439-446, 2022

   Background The difference in clinical outcomes after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for early Barrett's esophagus (BE) neoplasia remains unclear. We compared the recurrence/residual tissue rates, resection outcomes, and adverse events after ESD and E...

2. Risk Stratification in Cancer Patients with Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Comparison of Glasgow-Blatchford, Rockall and AIMS65, and Development of a New Scoring System

   CLINICAL ENDOSCOPY, v.55, n.2, p.240-247, 2022

   Background/Aims: Few studies have measured the accuracy of prognostic scores for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) among cancer patients. Thereby, we compared the prognostic scores for predicting major outcomes in cancer patients with UGIB. Secondarily, we developed a new model to detect pat...

3. Effect of Combination Antibiotic Empirical Therapy on Mortality in Neutropenic Cancer Patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia

   MICROORGANISMS, v.10, n.4, article ID 733, 14p, 2022

   To assess the effect of combination antibiotic empirical therapy on 30-day case-fatality rate in neutropenic cancer patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) bacteremic pneumonia. This was a multinational, retrospective cohort study of neutropenic onco-hematological patients with PA bloodstream i...

4. Management and treatment of decompensated hepatic fibrosis and severe refractory Schistosoma mansoni ascites with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt

   REVISTA DO INSTITUTO DE MEDICINA TROPICAL DE SAO PAULO, v.64, article ID e26, 4p, 2022

   This study aimed to report the first case of a patient with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis mansoni, refractory ascites and portal vein thrombosis treated with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), at the Instituto de Radiologia, Hospital das Clinicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Unive...

5. A multidisciplinary approach to peritoneal metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma: clinical features, management and outcomes

   CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL HEPATOLOGY, v.8, n.1, p.42-48, 2022

   Aim of the study: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal malignancy with heterogeneous behavior determined by liver function, clinical presentation and treatment response. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) from HCC is rare and management is challenging. We aim to report a cohort of patients with adv...

6. A new heparin fragment decreases liver ischemia-reperfusion injury

   HEPATOBILIARY & PANCREATIC DISEASES INTERNATIONAL, v.21, n.2, p.190-192, 2022

7. Platelet-albumin (PAL) score as a predictor of perioperative outcomes and survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing liver resection in a Western center

   SURGICAL ONCOLOGY-OXFORD, v.42, article ID 101752, 7p, 2022

   Background and objectives: Preoperative selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who will benefit from resection is highly advisable. The Platelet-Albumin (PAL) score was developed as a predictor of survival and morbidity following HCC resection. However, this has never been test...

8. Repeat hepatectomy for recurrent colorectal liver metastases: A comparative analysis of short- and long-term results

   HEPATOBILIARY & PANCREATIC DISEASES INTERNATIONAL, v.21, n.2, p.162-167, 2022

   Background: Liver recurrence after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is frequent. Repeat hepatectomy has been shown to have satisfactory perioperative results. However, the long-term outcomes and the benefits for patients with early recurrence have not been clarified. The aim of thi...

9. Liver Surgery: Important Considerations for Pre- and Postoperative Imaging

   RADIOGRAPHICS, v.42, n.3, p.722-740, 2022

   Liver surgery may be a curative treatment option not only for primary liver neoplasms but also for liver metastases in selected patients. The number of liver surgeries performed worldwide has increased, but surgical morbidity associated with these surgeries remains significant. Therefore, radiolo...

10. Current aspects of renal dysfunction after liver transplantation

    WORLD JOURNAL OF HEPATOLOGY, v.14, n.1, 2022

    The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) after liver transplantation (LT) exerts a severe effect on the survival of patients. The widespread adoption of the model for end-stage liver disease score strongly impacted CKD incidence after the procedure, as several patients are transplanted wit...
