BACKGROUND:More effective treatments are needed for patients with postinfectious, diarrhoea-predominant, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). Accordingly, we conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8-week-long trial to assess the efficacy and safety of oral glutamine therapy in patients who developed IBS-D with increased intestinal permeability following an enteric infection.METHODS:Eligible adults were randomised to glutamine (5 g/t.i.d.) or placebo for 8 weeks.

Hepatology. 2018 Jul 16. [Epub ahead of print]
OBJECTIVE: Patients admitted with acute variceal bleeding (AVB) and Child Pugh C score (CP-C) or Child Pugh B plus active bleeding at endoscopy (CP-B+AB) are at high risk for treatment failure, rebleeding and mortality. Preemptive TIPS (p-TIPS) has been shown to improve survival in these patients but its use in clinical practice has been challenged and not routinely incorporated. The present study aimed to further validate the role of preemptive TIPS in a large number of high-risk patients.
