Atherogenic Index of Plasma in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

(1) Background: Approximately a billion people worldwide are affected by NAFLD, which places a high clinical burden and financial cost on society. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing NAFLD, but its invasivity limits the early diagnosis of NAFLD. Hence, it is important to look for alternate techniques in detecting and diagnosing NAFLD.

Insights into Epigenetic Changes Related to Genetic Variants and Cells-of-Origin of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: An Algorithm for Practical Workup.

Current knowledge on the molecular landscape of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) has advanced significantly. Still, the cellular origin of PanNETs is uncertain and the associated mechanisms remain largely unknown. DAXX/ATRX and MEN1 are the three most frequently altered genes that drive PanNETs.
