Article Synopsis
- A significant number of patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) show indeterminate results from vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), prompting the need for better diagnostic methods for significant fibrosis.
- A large study, involving 1196 MASLD patients from various centers, developed an algorithm that used liver stiffness measurements (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameters (CAP) to accurately identify significant fibrosis.
- The algorithm demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing significant fibrosis, potentially helping to identify treatment candidates for MASLD by re-allocating patients based on their risk levels.
In this article, we present CuentosIE (TalesEI: chatbot of tales with a message to develop Emotional Intelligence), an educational chatbot on emotions that also provides teachers and psychologists with a tool to monitor their students/patients through indicators and data compiled by CuentosIE. The use of "tales with a message" is justified by their simplicity and easy understanding, thanks to their moral or associated metaphors. The main contributions of CuentosIE are the selection, collection, and classification of a set of highly specialized tales, as well as the provision of tools (searching, reading comprehension, chatting, recommending, and classifying) that are useful for both educating users about emotions and monitoring their emotional development.

They can also arise in various anatomical locations, most commonly in extremities and deep soft tissues. Despite this diversity in morphology and location, all SFTs share a common molecular signature involving the NAB2::STAT6 gene fusion.

In endoscopy, most research focuses on the automatic detection of polyps or other pathologies, but localization and navigation of the endoscope are completely performed manually by physicians. To broaden this research and bring spatial Artificial Intelligence to endoscopies, data from complete procedures is needed.

Method: A prospective, multicenter study including NAFLD patients with biopsy and paired Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed. Liver biopsies were evaluated according to NASH Clinical Research Network, hepatic iron storages were scored, and digital pathology quantified the tissue proportionate areas of fat and iron.
