Does acid suppressive therapy reduce the risk of laryngeal cancer recurrence?
Acid suppression postlaryngeal cancer therapies may have protective effect on laryngeal cancer recurrences. A prospective study is needed to better define this perceived beneficial effect.
Decreased serum hepcidin level correlated with excessive iron accumulation in the basal ganglia in HBV-related cirrhotic patients. Our results indicated that systemic iron overload underlined regional brain iron repletion. Serum hepcidin may be a clinical biomarker for brain iron deposition in cirrhotic patients, which may have therapeutic potential.
