Deep Learning-based Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis on chest CT [PDF]
Purpose: Automatic methods are required for the early detection of hepatic steatosis to avoid progression to cirrhosis and cancer. Here, we developed a fully automated deep learning pipeline to quantify hepatic steatosis on non-contrast enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) scans.

Liver cirrhosis-epidemiological and Clinical Aspects [PDF]
Liver cirrhosis is the end-stage of many different chronic liver diseases. Limited data exists on the epidemiology, natural history and complications of liver cirrhosis such as esophageal varices and malignancies in the Nordic countries after the ...

Adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein is overexpressed in cirrhosis and correlates with clinical outcomes [PDF]
Fatty-acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are small intracellular proteins that coordinate lipid-mediated processes by targeting metabolic and immune response pathways.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Survival COVID-19 in Adult Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by infection of SARS-CoV-2 virus which leads to mortality due to respiratory failure. The progression of COVID-19 is more severe in patients with pre-existence morbidities, including liver disease. Recently, a few

The liver accomplishes multiple functions such as the biotransformation of insoluble compounds (drugs, toxins, bilirubin), the metabolism and excretion of lipids (cholesterol in particular) the production of several plasma proteins (good examples are albumin, coagulation factors, transferrin), and the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates.

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression
Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

A validation study of the CirCom comorbidity score in an English cirrhosis population using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink [PDF]
Purpose: The CirCom score has been developed from Danish data as a specific measure of comorbidity for cirrhosis to predict all-cause mortality. We compared its performance with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in an English cirrhosis population ...

Liver‐specific knockout of N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 significantly accelerated hepatic tumor initiation under various oncogenic challenges, contrary to the previously reported oncogenic role of METTL3 in liver cancer cell lines or xenograft models. Mechanistically, METTL3 deficiency reduced m6A deposition on Manf transcripts and
