Long-term serum ferritin dynamics in patients receiving antiviral treatment for hepatitis C virus infection.
J Formos Med Assoc
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan; Hepatitis Research Center, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan; Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Yun-Lin Branch, Douliou, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: Limited data exists regarding the long-term serum ferritin dynamics following sustained virologic response (SVR) and factors associated with trends in changes among patients undergoing treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Methods: Serum ferritin levels were assessed biannually in 1538 participants undergoing direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) or peginterferon plus ribavirin (PR) with a median of follow-up of 5.0 years after off-treatment week 12.
Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and the Cardiovascular System.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease, is an important and rising health issue with a link with atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD), affecting ∼25-30% of the adults in the general population; in patients with diabetes, its prevalence culminates to ∼70%; its evolutive form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is estimated to be the main cause of liver transplantation in the future. MASLD is a multisystem disease that affects, besides the liver, extra-hepatic organs and regulatory pathways; it raises the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), CVD, and chronic kidney disease; the disease may also progress to hepatocellular carcinoma. Its diagnosis requires hepatic steatosis and at least one cardiometabolic risk factor and the exclusion of both significant alcohol consumption and other competing causes of chronic liver disease.

January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Service des Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales, 103 Grande Rue de la Croix-Rousse, Lyon, 69004, France.
Purpose: Abdominal wall reconstruction is a common surgical procedure, with a post-operative risk of mesh-associated infection of which management is poorly known. This study aims to comprehensively analyze clinical and microbiological aspects of mesh infection, treatment modalities, and associated outcomes.
Methods: Patients with abdominal mesh infection were included in a retrospective observational cohort (2010-2023).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Liquid Biopsy Transforming Early Detection of Liver Metastases in Gastrointestinal Cancers.
Curr Cancer Drug Targets
January 2025
Department of Pharmacology, Sri Shanmugha College of Pharmacy, Sankari, Salem, 637304, Tamil Nadu, India.
Liver metastases from Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers present significant challenges in oncology, often signaling poor prognosis. Traditional detection methods like imaging and tissue biopsies have limitations in sensitivity, specificity, and tumor heterogeneity represen-tation. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, driven by advancements in ma-chine learning, algorithms, and data science, offers a promising frontier for early detection and management of liver metastases.

The aim of this study was to clarify the taxonomic identification of a hemoflagellate and assess the effect of trypanosome infection on Larimichthys crocea. Giemsa staining showed the presence of three morphotypes of trypomastigotes. The trypanosomes had the following morphological characteristics: a slender body with a long flagellum at the front; body size 12.
