Is three-dimensional portography using multislice helical CT clinically useful for management of gastric fundic varices?
Three-dimensional helical CT portography proved so effective that it can be considered a less invasive alternative than conventional angiographic portography in assessing portosystemic collaterals. CT portography is useful in selecting candidates from patients with gastric fundic varices for retrograde transvenous obliteration and also in evaluating therapeutic results.
A deficiency or constitutive activation of DJ-1 can have implications in mast cell-driven allergic diseases, such as asthma and anaphylaxis.
