Does abnormal portal venous flow at sonography predict reduced survival after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation?

We observed a similar trend, although not statistically significant, for Zn intake. Randomised controlled trials are necessary to determine any benefit of micronutrient supplementation in the prevention and treatment of mental health problems in adolescents.
