Meta‐Analysis: Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test for Identifying Significant Fibrosis, Advanced Fibrosis, and Cirrhosis in Patients With Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A metaanalysis of 34 studies/37 cohorts using the Siemens Healthineers ELF test for biopsy‐staged F2, F3, or F4 MASLD‐associated fibrosis validates 9.0 (≥F2), 9.8 (≥F3), and 11.3 (F4) cut‐offs, and establishes 10.5 as a high‐specificity F4 cut‐off. This potentially holds implications for guideline revisions and aiding qualification for antifibrotic ...

Same site recurrence following standardized high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein – 5‐year results of the LaVaCro trial

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background Same‐site recurrence at the sapheno‐femoral junction (SFJ) takes up a large amount of the daily practice of phlebologists. Follow‐up data for high‐ligation and stripping (HL/S) of the great saphenous vein (GSV) are quite heterogenous and incoherent.
