Background And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) seems unavoidable and gradual. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy in the post-LT setting of patients transplanted for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) of recurrent hepatic steatosis and fibrosis identified with FibroScan, compared to biopsy findings.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included adults transplanted for MASH between 2010 and 2022 in three LT centres in Spain who underwent FibroScan and biopsy at least 1-year after LT.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found that breast cancer cells targeting the brain disrupt the blood-brain barrier and activate microglia, identifying VGF as a significant factor in these processes.
- * High expression of VGF in tumors correlates with poorer prognosis, especially in HER2 overexpressing and triple-negative cases, suggesting that VGF could be a valuable target to improve treatment for brain metastasis in breast cancer patients.
Internal Audit to Monitor the Injected Activity in PET/CT Using Control Charts.

Background And Objective: In an effort to limit the risks associated with medical radiation exposure, the last century witnessed the development of dose control mechanisms, recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. This organization recommends the optimization of radiation protection to provide the highest level of safety that may reasonably be achievable. Adhering to the "as low as reasonably achievable" principle, the purpose of this study was to monitor the 18 F-FDG injected activity in PET and optimize the radiation protection through an internal audit process.
