Comparative efficacy of GLP‐1 RA, tirzepatide and SGLT‐2 inhibitors in metabolic liver disease: A network meta‐analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Metabolic liver disease, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is a major cause of chronic liver dysfunction worldwide, creating an urgent need for effective treatments. This systematic literature review (SLR) and network meta‐analysis (NMA) systematically reviews and compares the efficacy and safety ...

Combi-Elastography versus Transient Elastography for Assessing the Histological Severity of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Gut and Liver
Background/Aims: Combi-elastography is a B-mode ultrasound-based method in which two elastography modalities are utilized simultaneously to assess metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Renal ultrasound elastography

Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, 2013
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence and prevalence are increasing in Western countries, due particularly to diabetes mellitus and hypertension-related nephropathies. CKD may lead to end-stage renal failure, with extensive morbidity, mortality and increasing health costs.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Bridging Hepatic and Cardiovascular Outcomes

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
Endogenous GLP‐1 and exogenous GLP‐1 RAs activate GLP‐1R‐expressing vagal afferents in the portal vein, projecting to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). This input engages brainstem–hypothalamic circuits that regulate metabolic homeostasis. Hypothalamic efferent vagal output to the liver suppresses lipogenesis, enhances triglyceride export, and ...

More Than a Question of Correlation: Characterization of the Evidentiary Basis for Biomarker Surrogates Used in European Marketing Authorizations

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Traditionally, clinical outcomes measuring how a patient feels, functions, or survives are preferred endpoints in clinical trials; however, some may take a long time to manifest in slowly developing diseases. Biomarkers, if properly validated, can serve as surrogate endpoints, acting as substitutes for clinical outcomes.

Endobronchial Ultrasound Elastography for Diagnosing Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes

Chinese Medical Journal, 2015
Background: Pathophysiological processes, such as malignancy, can lead to the formation of stiffer tissue in lung cancers. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography is a novel technique for measuring tissue stiffness during EBUS-guided transbronchial ...

Stability Analysis in Magnetic Resonance Elastography II

, 2015
We consider the inverse problem of finding unknown elastic parameters from internal measurements of displacement fields for tissues. In the sequel to Ammari, Waters, Zhang (2015), we use pseudodifferential methods for the problem of recovering the shear ...

Ultrasound elastography: liver

Abdominal Imaging, 2015
Ultrasound elastography, also termed sonoelastography, is being used increasingly in clinical practice to aid the diagnosis and management of diffuse liver disease. Elastography has been shown to be capable of differentiating advanced and early-stage liver fibrosis, and consequently a major application in clinical liver care includes progression to ...
