Whilst nodular well-defined HCC remains the classical phenotype, presentations with infiltrative phenotype, very large HCC, and complications as tumour rupture provide immense diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Infiltrative HCC is difficult to distinguish against the background cirrhotic liver. They are ill defined on imaging, have poor vascularity, and aggressive biological behaviour. Vascular invasion, metastasis, and poor response to loco-regional, as well as systemic therapy, leads to dismal prognosis. Very large HCCs have a relatively better prognosis than infiltrative HCC and mandate multimodal therapies to downstage for a curative response including liver transplant. Improvement in interventional radiology techniques, emerging evidence with systemic therapies including immunotherapy, and better understanding of tumour biology have opened newer avenues in the management of such complex cases. HCC rupture is a catastrophic moment in the natural history of HCC which has an exponential increase in mortality. Clinical presentation of pain abdomen, hypotension/syncope, new onset, or sudden increase in ascites mandates a strong suspicion of rupture. Presence of hemoperitoneum on diagnostic tap and contrast extravasation in a computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging are the diagnostic hallmarks. Emergency surgical intervention, locoregional therapies in the form of bland embolisation, or chemoembolisation forms the management cornerstone. The long-term survival and liver transplant as a curative therapy still needs more data as fear of tumour spread is a possibility. This review summarises the clinical challenges with this advance HCC and provides an algorithmic approach for management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15479,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology","volume":"15 3","pages":"Article 102505"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143387396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the World Health Organization has recommend to vaccinate PWIDs with an accelerated regimen, i.e., in a 0-, 7-, and 21-day schedule.

Each of them had taken a conscious and informed decision to choose either the standard or accelerated regimen at the time of vaccination. For this cross-sectional observational study, anti-HBs (anti-HBs) titers were measured in vaccine recipients at ≥3 months after the administration of the third dose of vaccine. Vaccine-induced seroconversion was defined as presence of detectable anti-HBs titer, and seroprotection was defined as anti-HBs titer measuring ≥10 mIU/mL.

This case series evaluates the efficacy and safety of endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) in treating rectal varices in five patients who presented with lower GI hemorrhage to our center. While Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) or Computed Tomography (CT) could provide additional diagnostic insights, these modalities were not routinely used in this series because of the straightforward clinical and endoscopic diagnosis. All patients underwent a successful EVL procedure with complete variceal obliteration. There were no postprocedural complications noted. Six months after the initial course of treatment, a follow-up endoscopy was performed. Overall, one patient required three sessions of EVL, whereas two other patients needed two more sessions. None of the patients had any residual varices at the 5-year follow-up. These findings demonstrate that EVL is an effective treatment modality for rectal varices, particularly in resource-constrained environments. Ongoing endoscopic surveillance is crucial because recurrence is a possibility as seen in many studies. Although our results lend support to the use of EVL, more studies with larger patient populations and longer periods of follow-up are required to validate these findings and improve treatment regimens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15479,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology","volume":"15 3","pages":"Article 102499"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143100040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
