Portal Vein Thrombosis

endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of portal vein thrombus which did not fulfill criteria of malignancy by imaging technique

EUS guided fine needle aspiration of portal vein thrombus

paper proved that benign portal vein thrombus by triphasic CT may be truly malignant by the histopathology but the researchers here used different inclusion and exclusion criteria. They obtained samples from cirrhotic patients only

Role of EUS Guided FNA of Portal Vein Thrombus in the Diagnosis and Staging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration of Portal Vein Thrombus in the Diagnosis and Staging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Histopathology of biopsies taken from bland portal vein thrombus which diagnosed by triphasic CT abdomen to evaluate the possibility of malignant PVT that was not discovered by imaging technique (Abdominal ultrasound and triphasic abdominal CT )

assessment of safety of the procedure ( The patients admitted and the new ones will be admitted to specialized medical hospital for 24 h after the procedure to exclude the possibility of bleeding at puncture site, risk of biliary peritonitis, and extravasation from the site of the thrombus.

Individualization of Oral Mesalazine Treatment Through a Self-managed Web-based Solution in Mild-to-moderate Ulcerative Colitis: A Pilot Study

Self reported disease activity in combination with a fecal biomarker of inflammation (fecal calprotectin) results in TIBS. Disease activity is scored by 6 questions yielding: remission (<3) , mild to moderate disease activity (3-4) and severe disease activity ( >5). Fecal calprotectin: remission (<200mg/kg ), mild to moderate (200-599 mg/kg ), severe (>599 mg/kg). The two items are added together in a weighted manner giving the Total inflammation burden scoring (TIBS): remission (0-8), mild to moderate (9-32), severe (33-99).

Self reported Disease course type according to the Copenhagen disease course type ( 5 different types). The five disease course types stretch from mild and indolent to constant active disease. In this study, patients have to choose one type representing their disease course since time of diagnosis, as well as at week 12 for the period since inclusion in the study.

self reported according to the Medicine Adherence Report Scale and visibility analog scale. Compliance scored according to Medicine Adherence Report Scale by 5 questions, and 1-5 points per question ( 5 = always, 1=never), maximum score 25. A score over 20 is considered god compliance.
Visibility analog scale from 0-100, where 0 means no compliance and 100 means 100% compliant.

self reported quality of life according to the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, a disease specific health related quality of life questionnaire consisting of 10 questions in four domains: Emotional Health, Bowel Symptoms, Social Health and Work. The scoring range is from 10 (lowest score) to 70 (highest score). A cut-off level at >50 is interpreted as good health related quality of life.

self reported disability according to the IBD disk, consisting of 10 items: Abdominal pain, regulating defecation, interpersonal interactions, education and work, Sleep, energy, emotions, body image, sexual functions, joint pain. Patients can score from 0 (absolutely disagree/ no disability) to 10 (absolutely agree/severe disability) for each item. The results will be visualised to the patient as a coloured disc.

Fatigue is measured according to The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale, containing 13 questions to measure the fatigue component of health related quality of life. The scale ranges from 0-52 with zero being the worst possible score and 52 the best. A score of ≤30 represents fatigue
