Ramon Bataller @rbataller.bsky.social · 22/04/2025What happens when you get the hepatitis C cured ? Do you feel entitled to eat more and drink more alcohol ? I always had that feeling with my patients. A recent study confirms this: people tend to become more overweight and drink more alcohol. Clinicians should warn about it. 000
Ramon Bataller @rbataller.bsky.social · 22/02/2025When mentoring your first post-doc, a practical advice is to assign 2 projects. One safer that will generate a paper in a 1-2 years max. The second one more ambitious and riskier. This way you will prevent the anxiety that we all had as a post doc the 2nd year. 010

Ramon Bataller @rbataller.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I always tell my patients with recompensated cirrhosis following a long period of abstinence: “Congrats for this achievement. The liver is giving you a second chance. Stay vigilant. If your brain craves again for alcohol, don’t feel ashamed and contact me” 040
Ramon Bataller @rbataller.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Is bariatric surgery safe and effective in patients with compensated cirrhosis ? If they have portal hypertension & varices, I don't think so. But a recent study in @NatureMedicine shows that it prevents decompensation. t.ly/CAIm2 000

Ramon Bataller @rbataller.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Happy to join Bluesky. My main priority will be to contribute building a community of patient-oriented liver lovers. I also want to post about humanism, creativity, photos…. I was playing this morning to create a logo for the liver community. Cheers to all. 4224
