question:
Question: Is terlipressin more effective in decreasing variceal pressure than portal pressure in cirrhotic patients?
Answer: Our results demonstrate that terlipressin produces significant and prolonged decreases in variceal pressure and variceal wall tension and has intrinsic effects on portal pressure and systemic hemodynamics. Variceal pressure provides a better assessment of the effects of terlipressin administration on esophageal varices than hepatic venous pressure gradient.
answer:
yes


question:
Question: Is branch segment occlusion with acute myocardial infarction a risk for left ventricular free wall rupture?
Answer: The incidence of LVFWR was higher in group B and branch segment occlusion was identified as an independent predictor of LVFWR.
answer:
yes

Question: Does interpleural analgesia influence postthoracotomy pain?
Answer: The efficacy of interpleural analgesia to reduce postoperative pain intensity in patients after lateral thoracotomy is controversial. In this study, we demonstrated a lack of efficacy of interpleural analgesia.
answer:

no
