Transient liver elastography in normal pregnancy – a longitudinal cohort study

, 2019
Background and aim: Transient elastography can detect liver fibrosis by estimation of liver stiffness. Results may be falsely high when blood flow to the liver is increased, such as during late stages of pregnancy.

Successful treatment of vertically acquired Hepatitis C in a child using direct‐acting antiviral therapy administered via gastrojejunal tube: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant global health burden, with vertical transmission being the primary route of infection in children. Direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) have transformed HCV treatment in pediatrics, but limited data exist on their administration in medically complex children who are dependent on enteral tubes. We report

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.

Current Knowledge in Ultrasound-Based Liver Elastography of Pediatric Patients

Applied Sciences, 2018
Studies performed using transient elastography (TE), point shear wave elastography (pSWE) and two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) have shown that these techniques are all feasible and accurate in children for the evaluation of liver fibrosis

Sono‐Anatomy and Histology of the Deep Fasciae in the Upper Limb

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
The deep fascia of the upper limb represents a pivotal anatomical structure essential for effective force transmission, dynamic compartmentalization and musculoskeletal stability. Its composition (rich in type I collagen fibers) enables both mechanical resilience and functional adaptability, crucial for the upper limb's complex movements.

Transient Elastography vs. Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index in Hepatitis C: A Meta-Analysis

Annals of Hepatology, 2017
Background and rationale: Many different non-invasive methods have been studied with the purpose of staging liver fibrosis. The objective of this study was verifying if transient elastography is superior to aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio ...

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation by the transient elastography tertiles.

, 2017
There were 6/22 subjects (27%) with atrial fibrillation in the first tertile, 10/28 subjects (36%) in the second tertile and 20/26 subjects (77%) in the third tertile (p = 0.001). Abbreviation: TE, transient elastography.

Application and Limitations of Transient Liver Elastography in Children

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2013
ABSTRACTObjectives:Transient elastography (TE) using the FibroScan has gained popularity recently for the noninvasive diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis. Data on its use in children younger than 6 years are still scarce, and the influence of technical aspects such as probe choice and site of measurement on FibroScan results is not clear.

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
