Doppler sonography is an effective primary imaging method for long-term follow-up of patients with TIPS.

SUMMARYBackground: Mesalazine as the treatment standard for ulcerative colitis can be applied in different galenical preparations. Aim: A novel formulation of mesalazine pellets with delayed and prolonged release characteristics was compared with conventional Eudragit L-coated tablets. Furthermore, the effect of mesalazine dose escalation on nonresponders was evaluated in both treatment groups. Methods: A total of 233 patients with mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis were randomized to receive either mesalazine (1.5 g/day in three doses) as pellets

we have identified, using a substantial sample, several factors associated with the development of HE after TIPS. This could be helpful in further research.
