The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses common comorbidities including low bone mineral density (BMD) and hyperuricemia (HU), yet relevant genetic analyses are limited. This study aimed to investigate the genetic effects of risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the occurrence of low BMD in patients with MASLD ...

PKN2 Inhibits VEGFA and bFGF‐Mediated Angiogenesis by Targeting HIF‐1α in Colon Cancer
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Angiogenesis plays a vital role in colon cancer growth and metastasis. The role of protein kinase N2 (PKN2) in colon cancer is rarely studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of PKN2 on angiogenesis in colon cancer. We evaluated the correlation between PKN2 expression and microvessel density (MVD) in tumor tissue of patients with ...

A Point‐of‐Care Model for Hepatitis C Elimination in Remote Islands of Taiwan
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Timely and efficient diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains the effective approach for the subsequent care cascade of HCV treatment. It is of importance in under‐resourced areas. The study aimed to assess the feasibility of a point‐of‐care (POC) model by a rapid diagnostic test and subsequent confirmational HCV RNA test in ...

Liver Disease Predicts 30‐Day Postoperative Complications in Head and Neck Microvascular Surgery
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.While liver disease is known to affect surgical outcomes, its impact on head and neck microvascular free tissue transfer surgeries remains unexamined. This study uses the NSQIP national database to analyze the relationship between liver disease severity, determined by APRI and MELD‐Na scores, and postoperative complications.
