Background and aims: oxidative stress is an important factor in the pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to compare the serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and antioxidant micronutrients in children and adolescents with and without NAFLD. Methods: a cross-sectional study with patients between 8-18 years old, of both sexes.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFUnlabelled: Cholangiopathy has been described in survivors of severe COVID-19, presenting significant clinical parallels to the pre-pandemic condition of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients (SSC-CIP). We aimed to examine the liver histopathology of individuals with persistent cholestasis after severe COVID-19.
Methods: We subjected post-COVID-19 cholestasis liver samples to routine staining techniques and cytokeratin 7 immunostaining and semi-quantitatively analyzed the portal and parenchymal changes.
Article Synopsis
- Exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) is viable for children, with a 100% success rate in a study involving 309 children aged 6-17.
- Most participants were symptomatic, and a significant number (39%) showed important intraventricular gradients (IVG) during testing.
- While regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) were limited, the findings suggest that ESE can effectively replicate symptoms, especially in those with IVG.
Editorial: How often can we get the right diagnosis after bone marrow transplant in patients with abnormal liver function tests? Authors' reply.

Energy and nutrient intake by people with and without sarcopenia diagnosed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

December 2024
Context: There is growing evidence that insufficient dietary intake is associated with sarcopenia.
Objective: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the energy and nutrient intakes by people with and without sarcopenia were compared using only the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2010 (EWGSOP1) and 2019 (EWGSOP2) consensus diagnostic criteria.
Data Sources: Only observational studies that compared energy and nutrient intake from food alone by individuals with and without sarcopenia were included.
