Liver stiffness in chronic hepatitis C virus infection

Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
Introduction. The severity of liver fibrosis can be assessed noninvasively today by liver stiffness measurements. Vibration-controlled transient elastography, shear wave elastography or magnetic resonance elastography are techniques increasingly used for

Elastography in Dermatology

Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas (English Edition), 2016
Elastography is a recently developed ultrasound technique applicable to various medical specialties. It provides information on the physical properties of tissues in the context of physiologic and pathologic alterations. In this review we explain the physical principles of the method, the information provided by the different elastography techniques ...

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Impact of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Steatotic Liver Disease on Liver‐Related Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C After Curative Antiviral Therapy

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) frequently present with steatotic liver disease (SLD) and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SLD and CMRFs on liver‐related outcomes (LROs) in CHC patients after HCV eradication.

Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Obesity: Pathogenesis, Diagnostics, Risk Stratification, and Therapeutic Approach

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rising incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathogenesis, gut–liver axis, and multidisciplinary management of MASLD within the ...

Single‐Breathhold 3D MR Elastography in the Liver, With Simultaneous R2* and PDFF Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Purpose To develop a sequence for the rapid acquisition of MR elastography (MRE) parameters in 3D, with simultaneous measurement of proton‐density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2* for multiparametric assessment of liver disease. Methods The proposed sequence uses an interleaved motion‐encoding scheme to acquire 3D volumes of all motion encodings and wave ...
