Normothermic Machine Perfusion vs. Static Cold Storage for DBD Liver Transplantation in High‐MELD Recipients: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose While normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has benefits over static cold storage (SCS), its efficacy in high‐acuity recipients with high Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores, particularly using a back‐to‐base application model, is not well established.

Inter‐tissue relationships of gene expression in liver, muscle and adipose tissue of children with end‐stage chronic liver disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives End‐stage chronic liver disease in children is associated with sarcopenia and aberrant adipose tissue mass. We investigated correlations between liver pathology‐associated gene pathways (fibrosis, inflammation and steatosis) and metabolic genes in muscle and adipose tissue.

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Use of single‐use ultra‐slim endoscopes for evaluation of pediatric esophageal varices: A pilot feasibility study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Esophageal varices (EV) need monitoring in patients with portal hypertension. In 2022, a single‐use ultra‐slim (3.5 mm) gastroscope was approved for use in children and adults. This study evaluated if an ultra‐slim gastroscope could evaluate, grade, and corroborate the presence of EV in sedated pediatric patients as compared to standard oral ...

Assessment of Treatment Response in Patients With Scleromyxedema by the Double Modified Rodnan Skin Score

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Scleromyxedema (SMX) is a cutaneous mucinosis characterised by an abnormal accumulation of mucin in the skin and limited treatment options. Assessment of therapy response during treatment is challenging. Objectives Patients with SMX receiving high‐dose intravenous IVIg therapy were included to assess validity of the double modified ...

Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data

Med Research, EarlyView.
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

Current Cell/Organoid and Animal Models for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with limited therapeutic options and a marked risk of progression to biliary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and malignancy. Progress in PSC research has been hindered by the lack of models that faithfully recapitulate the complex biliary microenvironment and disease heterogeneity ...
