Liver physiology and liver diseases in the elderly

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013
The liver experiences various changes with aging that could affect clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with liver diseases. Both liver volume and blood flow decrease significantly with age. These changes and decreased cytochrome P450 activity can affect drug metabolism, increasing susceptibility to drug-induced liver injury.

Clinical, Histopathological, and Molecular Characterization of Pediatric MN1::ZNF341‐Associated Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A lethal round‐cell malignancy with an MN1::ZNF341 fusion has recently been reported in three infants. Here, we describe four further tumors, three in newborns (including monozygotic twins), and one in an adolescent. Detailed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data differentiate these tumors from their main mimics, neuroblastoma and

Use of skeletal muscle index as a predictor of short-term mortality in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure

Scientific Reports, 2021
Sarcopenia is a well-recognized factor affecting the prognosis of chronic liver disease, but its impact on acute decompensation underlying chronic liver disease is unknown. This study evaluated the impact of sarcopenia on short-term mortality in patients

Alcoholic Liver Disease

Medical Clinics of North America, 1989
Alcohol has been implicated in the genesis of liver disease for centuries. Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the pathogenesis of ALD. It is now apparent that both the consumption and the metabolism of alcohol promote the production of inflammatory mediators (cytokines) that result in hepatotoxicity and fibrogenesis.

Impact of Metastatic Patterns on Survival and Response to Therapy in Neuroblastoma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While the presence of metastases in neuroblastoma (NB) is a well‐established prognostic factor, the clinical significance of dissemination patterns and tumour burden and their impact on response and survival remains poorly understood.
