Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer‐related death in children and adolescents. Five‐year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the

Assessing the Diagnostic Precision of Chosen Equational Scores in Detecting Steatosis through Elastography

Advancements in Life Sciences
Background: Several non-interventional imaging studies, scoring systems, and biochemical markers are widely used nowadays to urgently diagnose stage and manage cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to avoid potential complications. The current study aimed to compare the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values (PPR) of some

The Bidirectional Association Between MASLD and Male Hypogonadism: An Updated Meta‐Analysis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and male hypogonadism are increasingly prevalent, metabolically interrelated conditions. Testosterone (T) deficiency has been implicated in hepatic lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, and visceral adiposity, whereas MASLD may impair the hypothalamic–pituitary ...

ALBI‐6—A Novel Prognostic Score Combining ALBI and Interleukin‐6 in Patients With HCC Treated With Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ALBI‐6, a novel score combining albumin–bilirubin grade and interleukin‐6, showed improved prognostic discrimination compared with established scores in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, supporting its potential use for risk stratification in this setting.

Review Article: Fibrosis‐4 Index in Steatotic Liver Disease—Past, Present and Future

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
FIB‐4 remains an inexpensive, scalable first‐line triage tool for excluding advanced fibrosis and identifying patients who need second‐line assessment, but it should not be used as a stand‐alone diagnostic or treatment‐selection test. Sequential testing and longitudinal FIB‐4 trajectories may improve risk stratification and prognosis.

Charting the course of Sjögren's disease: A historical analysis of scientific progress

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sjögren's disease (SjD) bears the name of the Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren. His 1933 doctoral thesis on keratoconjunctivitis sicca ignited interest, yet much remains under debate. SjD is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to a dryness of the eyes ...
