Is endoscopic ultrasonography-guided drainage an effective and relatively safe treatment for peripancreatic fluid collections in a cohort of 108 symptomatic patients?
EUS-guided drainage of PFCs is effective in the majority of patients. Although the complication rate of the procedure is not negligible (20%), they could be managed in almost all patients by conservative and/or endoscopic means and did not result in mortality.
Taken together, stabilized HIF-1α induced by PHD2 conditional knockout resulted in the transition of muscle fibers toward a slow fiber type via a calcineurin/NFATc1 signaling pathway. PHD2 conditional knockout mice may serve as a model for chronic HIF-1α stabilization as in mice exposed to low oxygen concentration.
