Background: Following the adoption of new nomenclature for steatotic liver disease, we aimed to build consensus on the use of International Classification of Diseases codes and recommendations for future research and advocacy.
Methods: Through a two-stage Delphi process, a core group (n = 20) reviewed draft statements and recommendations (n = 6), indicating levels of agreement. Following revisions, this process was repeated with a large expert panel (n = 243) from 73 countries.
Background And Aims: Fatty liver disease is highly prevalent, resulting in overarching wellbeing and economic costs. Addressing it requires comprehensive and coordinated multisectoral action. We developed a fatty liver disease Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) country score to provide insights into country-level preparedness to address fatty liver disease through a whole-of-society lens.

Approach And Results: We developed an aligned, prioritized action agenda for the global fatty liver disease community of practice.
Background & Aims: An estimated 38% of adults worldwide have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). From individual impacts to widespread public health and economic consequences, the implications of this disease are profound. This study aimed to develop an aligned, prioritised fatty liver disease research agenda for the global health community.

Despite affecting an estimated 1 in 4 adults globally, NAFLD is largely absent on national and global health agendas.
Methods: We collected data from 102 countries, accounting for 86% of the world population, on NAFLD policies, guidelines, civil society engagement, clinical management, and epidemiologic data.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent condition that requires a comprehensive and coordinated response across sectors and disciplines.
Aims: In the absence of a multisectoral framework to tackle this condition, we developed one using the sustainable development goals (SDGs) as the basis for converging thinking about the design and delivery of public health responses.
Methods: A multidisciplinary group identified the SDG targets and indicators for inclusion in the new framework through a two-stage process.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. Collectively, Latin American countries have some of the highest obesity rates in the world and the fastest-growing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Since obesity and T2DM are intrinsically linked with NAFLD, epidemiological projections are worrisome.

The standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) 80-100 min window is widely used to quantify tau binding, although F-AV-1451 continues increasing relative to a reference region in regions with tau deposition. Left uncorrected, acquisition time inaccuracies can lead to errors from -4% to 6% in 20-min SUVR measurements in subjects with Alzheimer's disease.

Methods: F-AV-1451 PET imaging was performed on 43 subjects (5 young HCs, 23 older HCs, and 15 AD subjects). Data were collected from 0 to 150 min after injection, with a break from 100 to 120 min.

26 patients hospitalized with Hyperemesis Gravidarum were treated with electrical stimulation of the vestibular system, as the symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum resemble the symptoms of motion sickness, where the electrical stimulation has been used successfully. The patients were treated for one hour daily, two hours before the standard infusion therapy. 89% reported a decrease in vomiting and nausea during the first application, 85% a lasting improvement.
