Development and External Validation of a Combined Clinical-Radiomic Model for Predicting Insufficient Hypertrophy of the Future Liver Remnant following Portal Vein Embolization.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop and externally validate a model for predicting insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy after portal vein embolization (PVE) based on clinical factors and radiomics of pretreatment computed tomography (CT) PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical information and CT scans of 241 consecutive patients from three Swedish centers were retrospectively collected. One center (120 patients) was applied for model development, and the other two (59 and 62 patients) as test cohorts. Logistic regression analysis was adopted for clinical model development.

Associations between dietary fatty acid and plasma fatty acid composition in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: secondary analysis from a randomised trial with a hypoenergetic low-carbohydrate high-fat and intermittent fasting diet.

Dietary fatty acids (FA) affect metabolic risk factors. The aim of this study was to explore if changes in dietary fat intake during energy restriction were associated with plasma FA composition. The study also investigated if these changes were associated with changes in liver fat, liver stiffness and plasma lipids among persons with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Contrast media for hysterosalpingography: systematic search and review providing new guidelines by the Contrast Media Safety Committee of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology.

Objectives: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is widely used for evaluating the fallopian tubes; however, controversies regarding the use of water- or oil-based iodine-based contrast media (CM) remain. The aim of this work was (1) to discuss reported pregnancy rates related to the CM type used, (2) to validate the used CM in published literature, (3) to discuss possible complications and side effects of CM in HSG, and (4) to develop guidelines on the use of oil-based CM in HSG.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted for original RCT studies or review/meta-analyses on using water-based and oil-based CM in HSG with fertility outcomes and complications.
