Abstract:
Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are associated with poor outcomes in cirrhosis. Comparing impact of PPI versus potassium-channel acid blockers (PCABs) is important. Cirrhosis patients on PCABs vs PPIs were followed for outcomes (liver-related hospitalizations/complications, mortality, and infections). Groups were compared using adjusted/unadjusted Cox-proportional hazards at 6/12 months post-initiation. 35,056 patients (31,688 PPI, 3,368 PCAB) were included. Adjusted analysis showed lower 6/12-month outcomes with vonoprazan versus PPI for mortality (aHR-0.36/0.39), infections (aHR-0.60/0.67), liver-complications (aHR-0.16/0.18), and liver-related hospitalizations (aHR-0.12/0.13), which remained largely consistent on sensitivity analyses. Cirrhosis patients on PCABs demonstrate lower risk for poor outcomes at 6 and 12-months versus PPIs.

A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains.

Pumped Concrete
For direct-acting pumps, the concrete enters the pump via the inlet valve under the action of gravity and suction created by the movement of the piston. This concrete is then forced into the pipeline and out through the outlet valve by the forward movement...
