Background And Aim: Prognosis in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) has historically been poor. This multicenter retrospective cohort study investigated the natural history and assessed the predictors of outcomes in patients with AIH, PBC, and PSC.
Methods: AIH, PBC, and PSC patients were identified from the state-wide Hepascore and Clinical Outcome cohort.
Objective: The human temporal bone comprises more than 30 identifiable anatomical components. With the demand for precise image interpretation in this complex region, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) applications is steadily increasing. This systematic review aims to highlight the current role of AI in temporal bone imaging.

- The study aimed to assess survival rates in patients with autoimmune liver disease overlap syndromes (AILDOS) compared to those with single autoimmune liver diseases, specifically focusing on liver-related mortality.
- 22 patients were studied over a median of 3.1 years, showing a 57% survival rate free from liver-related mortality at five years, with differences observed between types of AILDOS.
- The liver outcome score (LOS) was a significant predictor of mortality for those with AIH-PBC, while the commonly used MELD score and others were not effective in predicting outcomes in either group.
Background: Head and neck carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) represents a challenging diagnostic process when standard work-up fails to identify the primary tumour site. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic utility and complication profile of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) tongue base mucosectomy (TBM) in the management of CUP.
Patients And Methods: An electronic database search was performed in the EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed and Cochrane databases.
