Clinical trial design for classical hematologic diseases is difficult because samples sizes are often small and not representative of the disease population. ASH initiated a Roadmap project to identify barriers and make progress to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into trial design and conduct. Focus groups of international experts from across the clinical trial ecosystem were conducted.

- * A literature search identified 95 relevant studies, revealing difficulties in diagnosing lean MASLD using traditional methods and highlighting the role of advanced imaging techniques.
- * The study recommends increased clinical awareness, regular monitoring, and tailored management strategies, such as lifestyle changes and potential medications, while calling for more research to improve diagnosis and treatment options.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) poses a major global health challenge. glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have shown potential therapeutic benefits for MASLD patients, including improvements in liver function, inflammation, and fibrosis. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs in MASLD patients, focusing on hepatic outcomes, cardiovascular outcomes, anthropometric measurements, and mortality.

- The most common issue spotted during examinations was esophageal varices, which are bulging veins related to the condition, along with other stomach problems.
Background: Recipient functional status prior to transplantation has been found to impact post-transplant outcomes in heart, liver and kidney transplants. However, information on how functional status, before and after transplant impacts post-transplant survival outcomes is lacking.
Aim: To investigate the impact of recipient functional status on short and long term intestinal transplant outcomes in United States adults.
