Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.We conducted a nationwide, multicenter cohort study using a target trial emulation framework to compare baclofen and acamprosate in patients with compensated alcohol‐associated cirrhosis. After matching, baclofen initiation was associated with a higher 1‐year risk of major adverse liver outcomes, driven primarily by hepatic encephalopathy, particularly

Affinity Proteomics‐Based Non‐Invasive Detection of Clinically Significant Liver Disease
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Using UK Biobank proteomic data, we identified a five‐protein score reflecting hepatic stellate cell activation and hepatocellular injury that predicts major adverse liver outcomes and clinically significant fibrosis, with consistent performance validated in two independent cohorts (patients with HIV and alpha1‐antitrypsin deficiency).

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.In ANA‐positive patients with suspected autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), liver biopsy rarely altered therapeutic management when alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was below 101 U/L and cirrhosis was absent. These findings suggest that biopsy may be safely deferred in this low‐risk group.

Alpha 1 antitrypsin distribution in an allergic asthmatic population sensitized to house dust mites
Clinical and Translational Allergy, 2018 Background and objective Severe alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency has been clearly associated with pulmonary emphysema, but its relationship with bronchial asthma remains controversial. Some deficient alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) genotypes seem to be associated

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction This explanatory pilot study presents a workflow to identify approved drugs, which could be repurposed for periodontitis therapy using salivary proteomics combined with drug‐target database screening. Methods Proteomic analyses of saliva using LC–MS/MS were conducted in two independent settings: a cohort (sub‐study I, N = 187) and
