This study evaluated the performance of the PAGE‐B score in HCC risk among CHB patients with metabolic dysfunction or MASLD. The PAGE‐B score effectively stratified HCC risk in both MASLD and non‐MASLD patients, especially in those without cirrhosis, where low scores were linked to negligible 5‐year HCC risk. ABSTRACT Introduction Metabolic dysfunction

Anemia with jaundice: An unusual cause
Anemia and jaundice are two important clinical signs in medicine. Occurrence of these two signs together in a patient suggests hemolytic disorders. Hemochromatosis is a disease characterized by hyperpigmentation, arthralgia and diabetes.

Haptoglobin type neither influences iron accumulation in normal subjects nor predicts clinical presentation in HFE C282Y haemochromatosis: phenotype and genotype analysis [PDF]
In the UK, 90% of patients with hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) are homozygous for HFE C282Y, as are one in 150 people in the general population. However, only a minority of these will develop clinical haemochromatosis.

In a multi‐centre study of obeticholic acid in primary biliary cholangitis, 45% discontinued the drug over 4 years, with 11% moving to combination therapy (fibrates). Of those continuing, response rates increased from 37% (1 year) to 55% (4 years). Non‐response at 12 months and cirrhosis were independent predictors of liver‐related events.

Iron Metabolism: From Health to Disease [PDF]
Background Iron is vital for almost all living organisms by participating in a wide range of metabolic processes. However, iron concentration in body tissues must be tightly regulated since excessive iron may lead to microbial infections or cause tissue

This study aimed to evaluate transferrin receptor (TfR) expression in human esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) specimens and investigate the correlation between TfR overexpression and clinicopathological characteristics. Furthermore, we explored the potential of targeting iron metabolism pathways as a novel therapeutic strategy for ESCC.

The gut in iron homeostasis: role of HIF-2 under normal and pathological conditions. [PDF]
International audienceAlthough earlier, seminal studies demonstrated that the gut per se has the intrinsic ability to regulate the rates of iron absorption, the spotlight in the past decade has been placed on the systemic regulation of iron homeostasis ...

In 325 exomes of South Brazilian Mennonites, we identified 23 pathogenic variants (P) and 27 likely P, with founder effects identified for 96% of P, whose frequencies differed from non‐Finnish Europeans, Amish, and Brazilian populations. ABSTRACT The Mennonite population has a unique history of 500 years of genetic isolation shaped by at least three ...
