🚨 New #MetaMaster Publication Alert 🚨 A systematic review of 14 studies (n=121 patients) assessed the efficacy of TIPS for treating hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). Key findings: 🫁 SpO₂ & PaO₂ improved in 1st month 📉 Effects not sustained beyond 3 months 🧠 HE developed in 22.4% of patients Conclusion: TIPS offers transient benefit in HPS but lacks long-term efficacy. This work was conducted under the leadership of Dr. Tulio L. Correa, highlighting the value of expert-driven research through Dr. Alice Gallo de Moraes.

Had so much fun writing this one with @GallodeMoraesMD 🫁 TIPS appears to provide a transient improvement in the oxygenation parameters of patients with HPS These effects are usually not sustained long-term (> 3 months) ‼️ @JVIRmedia jvir.org/article/S1051-…

Is there an association between ABO blood groups and pancreatic cancer? 🩸 Yes ✔️ 👉🏼 Patients with blood type O exhibited better overall survival and were less frequently diagnosed with advanced cancer stages (III-IV) upon presentation doi.org/10.1016/j.pan.… @BrunoBockorny

Do you perform sphincterotomy during biliary stenting? I'd like to invite you all to check our recently published meta-analysis on this topic: lnkd.in/d56hKgbF You can check a brief presentation about it on GIE's YouTube channel: lnkd.in/dFqibTnU

Thrilled to share that our meta-analysis has been accepted for publication in Digestive Diseases and Sciences! 🎉 Thank you to all the authors for their support. I’ll share more details once it becomes publicly available! #MedX #endoscopy #gastroenterology

@laura_tee_mdgi @RainbowinGastro @AmCollegeGastro @JVG_GIMD @BIDMC_GI We conducted a meta-regression on all published RCTs, and longer PPI therapy doesn’t appear to correlate with ⬇️ serum calcium levels. This challenges the mechanistic plausibility of PPIs having a harmful impact on 🦴 density

New pub in @GIE_Journal 🤓 👉🏼 EUS-guided coil + glue injection for gastric varices showed lower re🩸 and reintervention rates compared to endoscopic glue injection alone doi.org/10.1016/j.gie.… @CynthiaFM_ @VanioAntunes @vanzin_mf @OtavioCMartins @drradhikachavan @stefanobps

Presenting our work on #PancreaticCancer at #AACRpan24! Grateful for the support and grant from @AACR MICR @NCICCHE, and a huge thank you to Dr. @BrunoBockorny for your guidance throughout this project!

Does the addition of endoscopic sphincterotomy to BS reduce the risk for PEP? In our new systematic review and meta-analysis published at @GIE_Journal, we found no significant difference between the ES and non-ES groups. However, bleeding rates were higher when ES was performed.

New pub alert! 💩 👉🏼 In patients with Crohn’s with prior anti-TNF failure, ustekinumab showed higher SFR and lower rates of treatment discontinuation than vedolizumab. doi.org/10.1097/MEG.00… @milioli_nj @vanzin_mf @VanioAntunes @OtavioCMartins @CynthiaFM_ @stefanobps

Excited to embark on a new journey as an Expert in Meta-Analysis Academy, where I'll be leading a research group focusing on Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Endoscopy. Let's push boundaries and make meaningful strides together! #Metaanalysis #ExpertProgram #MetaanalysisAcademy
