A Novel Diagnostic Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Glycosylated Ferritin

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The percentage of glycosylated ferritin relative to total ferritin (%GF) is a novel biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showing diagnostic performance comparable to that of AFP and DCP. We developed the GFAD index by integrating age, sex, %GF, AFP, and DCP, achieving improved diagnostic accuracy with high sensitivity and specificity. ABSTRACT

Baseline and Longitudinal Liver Stiffness Measurement Predict Outcomes in Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Multicenter Study

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
We conducted a multicenter cohort study analyzed 454 Japanese PBC patients. Baseline LSM ≥ 8.0 kPa was independently associated with adverse outcomes. ΔLSM/year ≥ 2.1 kPa was independently associated with adverse outcomes. ABSTRACT Background & Aims Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is a ...

Iron Overload: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Monitoring

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron overload is associated with significant health risks, underscoring the importance of understanding its pathophysiology as well as establishing accurate diagnostic and monitoring methods. Chronic iron overload is associated with either genetic disorders characterized by excessive iron accumulation (hereditary hemochromatosis), or is ...

A prospective study of 12‐month survival of patients with cirrhosis admitted to intensive care

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The assessment on whether to escalate care in patients with cirrhosis to the intensive care unit (ICU) is complex, with little data on long‐term outcomes. The primary aim of this study was to prospectively examine the ability of liver‐specific and ICU prognostic scores to predict 12‐month survival among patients with cirrhosis in ...

Healthcare costs of managing MAFLD are mostly driven by hospitalisation and advanced fibrosis: cost‐analysis from a tertiary‐care, multi‐disciplinary MAFLD clinic

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Patients with metabolic (dysfunction)‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are frequently multimorbid, putting upward pressure on healthcare costs compared to other liver diseases. As Australian data are limited on expenditures in managing MAFLD, we evaluated hospital‐related costs and predictors of costs in patients ...

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This manuscript provides an updated overview of the current evidence on soft tissue graft substitutes for teeth and dental implants. When appropriately indicated, these biomaterials offer a reliable, less invasive alternative to autogenous grafts, effectively improving root coverage, keratinized mucosa width, and soft tissue thickness with reduced ...
