Preoperative FIB‐4 Index as a Potential Factor Associated With Severe Postoperative Complications and Endogenous Organ Failure After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a preoperative FIB‐4 index ≥ 5.0 independently predicts severe complications and endogenous organ failure (EOF) following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. By capturing structural liver fragility and systemic vulnerability, the FIB‐4 index enhances surgical risk stratification beyond traditional functional markers ...

Achievement of the Ideal Outcome After Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Is Associated With Earlier Initiation and Higher Completion Rates of Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Improved Long‐Term Survival

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Ideal Outcome is a composite quality indicator reflecting optimal postoperative course after pancreatic surgery. This study aimed to clarify the prognostic significance of achieving the Ideal Outcome and its influence on the initiation and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...
