Cardiometabolic Biomarkers for Disease Severity Prediction in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impacts of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) and the biomarkers on disease severity in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remain elusive. Accordingly, a multicenter study by recruiting MASLD patients from a nationwide registry database was conducted with a total of 2882 MASLD patients (54.1% males, mean age

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

Advances and challenges in experimental models for Epstein–Barr virus research

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), the first identified human oncovirus, is a ubiquitous γ‐herpesvirus etiologically linked to diverse malignancies, lymphoproliferative disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Experimental models are pivotal for unraveling the infection and pathogenesis mechanisms, life cycle regulation, as well as development and ...

Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Autoimmune hepatitis: a review.

JPMA. The Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association, 2010
Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is a periportal hepatitis with increased immunoglobulins and auto antibodies, which primarily responds to immunosuppression. It affects women 3.6 times more commonly than men. It is postulated that an environmental agent, either a drug or a virus or another agent seems to trigger a T-cell mediated cascade directed against ...

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.

A Case of Ileal Conduit Bleeding Caused by Porto‐Sinusoidal Vascular Disorder

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 60‐year‐old man presented with recurrent stomal bleeding for 3 years. He had undergone cystoprostatectomy with ileal conduit diversion for bladder cancer 7 years prior. Endoscopy revealed multiple protruding lesions (0.6–0.8 cm) inside the stoma, which were initially suspected to be ectopic varices given concomitant esophageal varices and ...

Head‐to‐Head Comparison of Four Ultrasound Elastography Techniques in Detecting Advanced Fibrosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Elastography is an important noninvasive method for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF); however, evidence remains insufficient, particularly regarding acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) techniques. This prospective mulitcenter study concludes that vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) demonstrates superior diagnostic performance to ...
