High correlation of hepatic shear wave velocity with esophageal varices complication rate in patients with chronic liver diseases.

Background: Histological evaluation by liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for assessing liver disease; however, it is highly invasive. Non-invasive liver stiffness measurement by shear wave elastography (SWE) is effective for evaluating the hepatic fibrosis stage and related diseases. In this study, we investigated the correlations of liver stiffness with hepatic inflammation/fibrosis, functional hepatic reserve, and related diseases in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).

A rare case of eosinophilic gastritis induced by nivolumab therapy for metastatic melanoma.

Cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors can cause immune reactions at various sites as a side effect called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to irAEs, however, the degree and presentation vary considerably from case to case. A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed with anal mucosal melanoma.

Advanced primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver with a small cell carcinoma component: an autopsy case report.

Primary adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the liver is a rare subtype of cholangiocarcinoma that comprises both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. We report a 48-year-old woman with advanced primary ASC and small cell carcinoma of the liver who had extrahepatic metastasis and received multiple chemotherapy regimens. After first presenting with upper abdominal pain, imaging revealed a 10.
