Article Synopsis
- Coeliac disease (CD) affects about 1% of people globally, with the primary treatment being a strict gluten-free diet which, if not managed well, can lead to health issues like weight gain and increased cardiovascular risk.
- A study is set up to compare the effects of a structured Mediterranean diet alongside standard care on cardiovascular risk factors in CD patients.
- The research aims to emphasize the importance of dietary education for improving gluten-free diets, potentially reducing metabolic and cardiovascular complications, and is ethically approved for conducting and sharing results in scientific forums.
Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of discharge protocols for acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, which the Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group (HPSG) aims to address with a new, validated protocol based on laboratory data and symptoms.
- An international survey revealed that 87.5% of participating medical centers do not have discharge protocols, but those that do see shorter hospital stays and lower readmission rates.
- The HPSG discharge protocol resulted in the lowest average length of hospital stay and demonstrated safety through a low readmission rate, highlighting the need for developing and validating more standardized discharge protocols for AP care.
Alcoholic liver disease represents a spectrum of liver injuries from fatty liver, steatohepatitis, fibrosis and cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma. Progression of the disease depends on the amount of alcohol consumption and risk factors or comorbidities, e.g.

Although liver biopsy has traditionally been considered as the (gold standard) reference method for evaluation of fibrosis, owing to its invasiveness, sampling variability, and the static nature of information it yields, non-invasive fibrosis markers became alternatives for assessment of the severity and outcome of liver diseases during the last two decades. Serum biochemical tests, elastographies and imaging methods are available for the diagnosis and staging of fibrosis.

However, whether long-term changes in different body composition parameters will result in NAFLD resolution is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to summarize the literature on longitudinal studies evaluating the association between NAFLD resolution and body composition change.
