the model proposed by Schepis et al. It should be noted that our
cohort included less Child-Pugh class B patients than the population
reported by Schepis et al. (19% vs. 41%). However, a model
to predict the presence of varices should be especially useful in a
population of compensated cirrhotic patients such as our cohort.
In conclusion, the available data are scarce and insufficient to de-

cirrhotic patients with and without esophageal varices.
Thus, a larger prospective study including patients with cirrhosis of
all origins is required to determine the factors predicting the presence
of varices (if they exist) (Letter
Is hyperammonemia really the true cause of altered neuropsychology, brain MR spectroscopy and magnetization transfer after an oral amino acid load in cirrhosis?

swelling hypothesis of HE, but we have some doubts that all the alterations
observed may be attributed merely to ammonia. Ammonia still
remains the “principal suspect” in the pathogenesis of HE, but the
identification of the “accomplices” continues to be an important area
of investigation. (Letter to the Editor
Malnutrition is a risk factor in cirrhotic patients undergoing surgery
No full textCirrhotic patients may become candidates for elective and emergency surgery. This may be due to conditions requiring operations such as cholecystectomy, herniotomy, or gastrointestinal malignancies, more common in cirrhotics when compared with the general population, or to complications of the liver disease such as resectable hepatocellular carcinomas or surgical portosystemic shunts to treat portal hypertension. It has been estimated that 10% of cirrhotics undergo at least One operative procedure during the final 2 y of their lives. Many studies have documented a high risk of morbidity and mortality associated with surgical procedures in these patients, and several factors influencing the postoperative outcome have been identified. Malnutrition, which is frequently encountered in cirrhotic patients, has been shown to have an important impact on the surgical risk. A poor nutrition status also has been associated with a higher risk of complications and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation. Few data are available concerning the perioperative nutrition support in surgical cirrhotic patients. The results of these studies are sometimes encouraging in reporting that the nutrition therapy may improve the clinical outcome in cirrhotic patients undergoing general surgery and/or liver transplantation. The limited number of patients and their heterogeneity, however, do not allow definitive conclusions, and more research on this issue is needed. (C)Elsevier Science Inc. 2002

A Human Rights Approach to Environmental Health
No full textThis chapter explores the interface between health and the environment through the human rights prism, focusing on the environmental dimension of the right to health and on the now widely recognized right to a healthy, safe and clean environment. To this end, the chapter intends to offers a comprehensive analysis of the relevant provisions contained in human rights treaties and the obligations stemming therefrom. The review of these legal sources is completed by a critical assessment of the case law produced by regional human rights bodies and their evolutive interpretation of individual rights and corresponding State obligations in this field, with a special focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The aim of this legal analysis is to evaluate the added value of a human rights approach to environmental health litigation, with a view to best achieving the overarching goal of public health protection from environmental harm. The author highlights that human rights can be used in court as effective tools to protect public health against the adverse effects of environmental degradation and severe pollution. She also stresses that the potential of human rights bodies in the field of environmental health is yet fully unexpressed, but further positive developments towards the protection of collective and intergenerational rights related to the environment and human health can be achieved thanks to the dynamic and evolutive approach adopted by these bodies and through the virtuous circle created by judicial cross-fertilization
