Background & Aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now known as metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is closely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our aim was to estimate the most recent global prevalence of NAFLD/MASLD, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), now known as metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), advanced fibrosis, and mortality among patients with T2D.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE for terms including NAFLD, NASH, and T2D published in 1990-2023 according to PRISMA.
Introduction: Post-acute SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) symptoms are often persistent, disruptive, and difficult to treat effectively. Fatigue is often among the most frequently reported symptoms and may indicate a more challenging road to recovery.
Purpose: To describe the natural history, symptomology, and risk profile of long-term post-acute SARS-CoV-2.
Introduction: Many with post-acute SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) have persistent symptoms impacting physical and cognitive function, decreased health and health-related life quality. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment was available to acutely infected patients which might improve these outcomes.
Purpose: To compare patient perception of PASC symptoms for those receiving bamlanivimab or casirivimab and imdevimab (mAbs) to those not receiving this treatment (non-mAbs).
Background: Obesity, a complex disease determined both by genetic and environmental factors, is strongly associated with NAFLD, and has been demonstrated to have a negative impact on HCV and other chronic liver diseases (CLD).
Rationale: This study assessed the association between type and location of food sources and chronic liver disease (CLD) using Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Results: CLD patients completed surveys [267 subjects, 56.
Purpose: To determine whether self-reported maximal and daily activity levels are impaired among patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis B (HBV).
Methods: Clinicodemographic, diagnostic, self-report and standard laboratory data were obtained. Univariate, multivariate and regression analyses were performed comparing group maximal (Maximum Activity Score [MAS]) and daily activity scores (Adjusted Activity Score [AAS]), adjusted for age and gender.
Background: Patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and depression may be at a higher risk for various complications, including impaired quality of life and more advanced liver disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression in CLD patients (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Hepatitis B (HBV), and Hepatitis C (HCV)) and to identify potential clinical and laboratory correlates of depression in these patients.
Methods: We used a database of CLD patients that contains extensive clinical (including self-reported depression) and laboratory data for each patient.
