Investigating the Role of Non-Coding RNA in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not code for protein but play key roles in regulating cellular processes. NcRNAs globally affect gene expression in diverse physiological and pathological contexts. Functionally important ncRNAs act in chromatin modifications, in mRNA stabilization and translation, and in regulation of various signaling pathways.

Surveillance and treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (aka. STOP HCC): protocol for a prospective cohort study of high-risk patients for HCC using GALAD-score.

Background: Vietnam and Saudi Arabia have high disease burden of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Early detection in asymptomatic patients at risk for HCC is a strategy to improve survival outcomes in HCC management. GALAD score, a serum-based panel, has demonstrated promising clinical utility in HCC management.

Candida Cardiac Tamponade Secondary to Oesophageal-Pericardial Fistula: A Rare Presentation of Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Unlabelled: is a rare cause of purulent pericarditis. Oesophago-pericardial fistula is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening complication of both benign and malignant oesophageal tumours. Here we report the case of 40-year-old woman who presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of acute pericarditis complicated by cardiac tamponade which required acute management with paracentesis.

Saudi association for the study of liver diseases and transplantation position statement on the hepatology workforce in Saudi Arabia.

The field of hepatology has evolved significantly over the last two decades. Hepatology practice in Saudi Arabia (SA) was dominated by hepatitis B and C viruses but is now being overtaken by patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. These patients require greater medical attention as their care is more complex compared to patients with viral hepatitis.

Acute reversible rhabdomyolysis during direct-acting antiviral hepatitis C virus treatment: a case report.

Introduction: Treatment of hepatitis C infection has evolved dramatically since 2011. Previous conventional therapy with interferon and ribavirin used to have a low sustained virological response rate of less than 40%. In the new direct-acting antiviral therapy era, a sustained virological response can be achieved in more than 90% of cases.

An unusual case of collagenous gastritis in a middle- aged woman with systemic lupus erythromatosis: a case report.

Introduction: Collagenous gastritis is a rare histopathologic disease. It is characterized by marked subepithelial collagen deposition with associated inflammatory infiltrate. It is considered an uncommon disease among the general population.

The clinical consequences of utilizing donation after cardiac death liver grafts into hepatitis C recipients.

Unlabelled: Chronic liver failure from hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains the leading indication for liver transplantation (LT). Donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors are becoming a more frequent source of liver grafts. Hepatitis C recipients of standard donation after brain death (DBD) allografts may have inferior long-term results, and more so when expanded criteria organs are used.
