The 3-year primary patency of PTA without stent placement was similar to that with stent placement (70%-80% and 43%-94%, respectively). MRB was used as an initial treatment with a 3-year patency of 75% to 100%. One study showed that 5-year primary patency of EVR was 80%. Secondary patency was 90% to 100% after 3years in all studies with PTA alone, PTA/stent placement, and stent placement alone. This is the first review of all treatment protocols in PVO after pediatric LT. We showed that an important group of patients has severe symptoms of portal hypertension. Efficacy of all treatment modalities was high in the included studies which make them important modalities for these patients.

University researchers and Flint residents coordinated a citizen science chlorine surveillance campaign in Flint, Michigan in 2015-19, that helped expose the nature of two deadly Legionnaires Disease outbreaks in 2014-2015 during the Flint Water Crisis and progress of system recovery during the Federal emergency. Results obtained with an inexpensive color wheel were in agreement with a digital colorimeter (R2 =0.99; p = 2.81 × 10-21) at 15 sites geographically distributed across Flint. Blinded tests revealed good agreement between official (n = 2051) and citizen (n = 654) data in terms of determining whether regulatory guidelines for chlorine were met, but a discovery that the citizen data were statistically lower than the city's (p less then 0.00001) especially in warm summer months led to recommendations for increased flushing of service lines before measurements. This work suggests that expanded citizen surveillance of chlorine, site specific flushing advice, and guidance on decisions about water heater set point could help consumers reduce Legionella risks in their homes. Citizen science initiatives for chlorine monitoring offer a unique opportunity for mutually beneficial collaborations between consumers and utilities to reduce the main source of waterborne disease in developed countries.Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) serves as an anti-greenhouse gas, plays multiple roles in aquatic ecosystems, and contributes to the global sulfur cycle. The chlorophyll a (CHL, an indicator of phytoplankton biomass)-DMS relationship is critical for estimating DMS emissions from aquatic ecosystems. Importantly, recent research has identified that the CHL-DMS relationship has a breakpoint, where the relationship is positive below a CHL threshold and negative at higher CHL concentrations. Conventionally, mean regression methods are employed to characterize the CHL-DMS relationship. However, these approaches focus on the response of mean conditions and cannot illustrate responses of other parts of the DMS distribution, which could be important in order to obtain a complete view of the CHL-DMS relationship. In this study, for the first time, we proposed a novel Bayesian change point quantile regression (BCPQR) model that integrates and inherits advantages of Bayesian change point models and Bayesian quantile regression mose linear regression. We thereby concluded that the BCPQR model does indeed enhance the understanding of shifting CHL-DMS relationships in aquatic ecosystems and is expected to benefit efforts aimed at estimating DMS emissions. Considering that shifting (threshold) relationships are not rare and that the BCPQR model can easily be adapted to different systems, the BCPQR approach i
