Case report: delayed resolution of severe pulmonary hypertension after isolated liver transplantation in a patient with cirrhosis.

abstract：:There is some evidence of an antagonism between peptic ulcer and diabetes mellitus. This antagonism is possibly related to anomalous insulin metabolism in duodenal ulcer patients. To evaluate this issue, 471 Rochester, Minnesota residents who had surgery for peptic ulcer were examined and then followed for up to 34 ye...
