Preliminary evidence of improved liver biomarkers in adolescents with obesity and suspected metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease treated with semaglutide: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects 30%–40% of youth with obesity and lacks approved pharmacologic therapies. In this single‐center retrospective case series at a tertiary care safety‐net children's hospital, we evaluated five adolescents (mean age: 17.0 years; 100% Hispanic; 60% male; mean body mass index:

Liver stiffness in patients with Shwachman‐Diamond syndrome

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This case series aims to describe whether transient elastography (TE) as a marker of liver stiffness is associated with clinically important liver disease in children and young adults with Shwachman‐Diamond Syndrome (SDS). Methods All patients ≤25 years of age with genetically confirmed SDS seen in the Pediatric Gastroenterology ...

Successful treatment of vertically acquired Hepatitis C in a child using direct‐acting antiviral therapy administered via gastrojejunal tube: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant global health burden, with vertical transmission being the primary route of infection in children. Direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) have transformed HCV treatment in pediatrics, but limited data exist on their administration in medically complex children who are dependent on enteral tubes. We report

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Elastic waves in a soft electrically conducting solid in a strong magnetic field [PDF]

, 2017
Shear wave motion of a soft, electrically-conducting solid in the presence of a strong magnetic field excites eddy currents in the solid. These, in turn, give rise to Lorentz forces that resist the wave motion. We derive a mathematical model

A Novel Semi‐Quantified Method for Grading Sonographic Severity of Adenomyosis and its Relation With Clinical Symptoms

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objective To correlate the sonographic severity of adenomyosis, assessed with real‐time ultrasound and a novel semi‐quantified method (XI‐VOCAL counting and categories) with adenomyosis‐associated symptoms. Methods This observational study was conducted in a tertiary referral outpatient clinic.

Value of 2‐Dimensional Shear‐Wave Elastography in Assessing Tibial Nerve Stiffness in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The morphological alterations of the tibial nerve in patients with diabetes mellitus, both with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), are challenging to differentiate using B‐mode ultrasound. In this study, we assessed the stiffness changes of the tibial nerve by 2‐dimensional shear‐wave elastography (2D‐SWE). Methods We gathered

Multiparametric Ultrasound Findings of Testicular Sarcoidosis

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To characterize the multiparametric ultrasound (MPUS) features of testicular sarcoidosis, incorporating greyscale, color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and strain elastography (SE), and to assess their collective diagnostic value.
