To evaluate the association between different levels of alcohol intake and all-cause mortality in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD)and alcohol-related/associated liver disease(MetALD) This study included participants aged 20 to 74 who were diagnosed with hepatic steatosis by ultrasound. The data were derived from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES Ⅲ)conducted in the United States from 1988 to 1994. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios(aHR)and their 95% confidence intervals(CI)were calculated by Cox proportional risk regression modelling to assess the effect of alcohol consumption levels on all-cause mortality.

It is the most common type of hemorrhagic stroke. We analyzed global intracranial hemorrhage incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and corresponding age-standardized rates (ASRs) and estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) by using GBD 2021 data.

This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study includes 124 non-diabetic participants with biopsy-proven MASH. Participants are randomly assigned to receive oral vitamin E 300 mg or the placebo in a 1:1 ratio.

This underscores the importance of timely and appropriate treatment to manage the condition and prevent further complications. The current gold standard procedure for determining PHT is the hepatic venous pressure gradient, but its invasiveness limits its usage in clinical practice and larger trials of novel agents.
