Elliot Tapper, Academic Chief of Hepatology and Andrews Family Research Professor at the University of Michigan, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Yingying He et al. published in Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology, adding:
“Thing we do for no reason?

Mixed pop of acute bleeding and secondary prophylaxis
Continuing AC better.”
