Use of twist-drill craniostomy with drain in evacuation of chronic subdural hematomas: independent predictors of recurrence

Background  

Recurrence rates after chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) evacuation with any of actual techniques [twist-drill craniostomy (TDC), burr-hole craniostomy, craniotomy] range from 5% to 30%. Use of drain has improved recurrence rates when used with burr-hole craniostomy. Now, we analyze predictors of recurrence of TDC with drain.     

Noninvasive assessment of portal hypertension in cirrhosis: Liver stiffness and beyond

Liver stiffness measurement(LSM)is a good,but still limited tool to noninvasively assess complications and prognosis in patients with advanced liver disease.This review aims to consider the role of LSM for the diagnosis of portal hypertension-related complications and for assessment of prognosis in cirrhotic patients,and to highlight the drawbacks as well as some alternatives for improving the performance.Hence,this field is far from being closed,and deserves more attention.There is still a place for more carefully designed studies to find new,innovative and reliable approaches.
