Clinical Outcomes and Non-Invasive Testing in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis With Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with cirrhosis lacks definitive treatments and poses an increasing healthcare burden globally. We undertook a systematic literature review (SLR) to better understand the disease burden in cirrhosis due to MASH.

Predictive Value of MELD Score and Charlson Comorbidity Index in Thoracic Aortic Surgery Patients [PDF]
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) carry a high risk of fatal rupture, necessitating improved preoperative risk stratification. This study evaluates the predictive value of systemic risk scores—specifically the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and ...

Personalised Long-Term Albumin Treatment Based on Three-Month Ascites Response in Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Long‐term albumin (LTA) is effective for treating ascites in decompensated cirrhosis. This study aims to analyse the clinical courses of patients receiving LTA and provide a 3 month stratification to personalise management integrating LTA with other options.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

A new machine-learning-based prediction of survival in patients with end-stage liver disease
The shortage of grafts for liver transplantation requires risk stratification and adequate allocation rules. This study aims to improve the model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score for 90-day mortality prediction with the help of different machine ...

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Diagnostic and prognostic ability of urinary NGAL in patients with cirrhosis and AKI. Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin (uNGAL) could help discriminate between different etiologies of AKI.
