Abstract Background Obesity increases the risks and complexity of laparoscopic surgeries. Preoperative very low‐calorie diets (VLCDs) can demonstrate significant preoperative weight loss. However, the optimal VLCD duration remains unclear. Excessive loss of muscle mass associated with VLCDs may elevate surgical and postoperative risks. This study aimed

Abstract Background Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a rare but debilitating condition, have been described following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in case reports. However, the nature of the potential association between SMT and CSF leak is uncertain, and symptoms such as neck pain or headache may reflect preexisting leaks rather than ...

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease. Research into a feasible, rapid, and effective assessment method is crucial for evaluating the therapeutic effects of semaglutide in MASLD. This prospective study utilized ultrasound‐derived fat fraction measurement and fat‐to‐muscle ratio to evaluate hepatic ...

From HBV to MASLD Cirrhosis: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Strategies
This review examines the epidemiological shift from hepatitis B virus (HBV) to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as the leading cause of cirrhosis globally. It highlights the distinct pathogenic mechanisms between HBV and MASLD cirrhosis and discusses evolving diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies tailored to the ...

The Safety of Interferon‐Based Therapies in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Compensatory Cirrhosis
While nucleos(t)ide analog (Nuc) therapy is the standard for chronic hepatitis B, pegylated interferon‐alpha (Peg‐IFN‐α) provides unique advantages, including finite treatment duration and long‐term benefits. However, its use in patients with compensated cirrhosis remains limited due to persistent safety concerns about potential decompensation and ...

Cirrhosis is frequently accompanied by varying degrees of lipid profile abnormalities. This study confirms that these profiles are differentially affected by disease etiology and progressively worsen—with significant reductions in TC, HDL‐C, and LDL‐C—as liver disease severity increases. TIPS improves lipid profiles, particularly by increasing HDL‐C in
