Article Synopsis
- Ethanol consumption leads to oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species production, contributing to liver issues like steatosis and inflammation associated with alcoholic liver disease (ALD).
- Autophagy helps combat the damaging effects of oxidative stress by degrading harmful organelles, providing a protective mechanism in liver cells against ALD, though its role is different in other cell types.
- Studies indicate that drugs enhancing autophagy, like rapamycin, may prevent ALD, highlighting the potential for targeting autophagy in therapeutic strategies to combat liver damage and improve overall organ health.

The aim of this study was to estimate the case fatality rate of aspergillosis in inpatients from 1997 to 2017 in Spain.
